I'm an inherently happy person. It comes from the inside, which means you can achieve happiness under any circumstance.

Every single unfortunate thing that happens, including, for instance, the murder of my parents, I am responsible for. I am responsible for being the son of two people who got murdered. I didn't cause their murder. But if I'm suffering because of it, it's my karma that I have manifested in this lifetime in this particular set of circumstances.

I come from an alcoholic Irish background - I know where I was going! But I met my wife and started to practise Buddhism, which is a levelling experience for me, and there hasn't been a day I've missed in 40 years. I apply it to everything - to my work and relationships. I try to be a compassionate person.

I feel that marrying younger and being quite a young dad helped me with the stability of my career.

I learned to travel, then I travelled to learn.

There's nothing I like more than picking fresh vegetables then putting them in the dinner you make that night.

It's as simple as you can explain all of 'Dallas.' We're a dysfunctional family forced to stay together.
