I wasn't even sure I'd be able to walk. I couldn't even go outside. Maybe I was just burnt crisp from the gruelling schedule I had been keeping for years.

When's the last time you walked by a pub in Dublin and heard Irish music? When's the last time you ordered a coffee and heard an Irish accent?

I would rather be having a burger and beers with my mates but I can't do that when I know I've got to dance.

I'll try anything once, most things twice.

It has always been my dream and ambition to introduce Irish dancing to the world.

Life isn't about the number of times you're knocked down, it's about the number of times you get back up.

Anything is possible. I've got a few more miles in me. I'm not going to feel sorry for myself.
