A man once asked to shake hands with me, the "greatest Englishman who ever lived." I replied, "F**k off, I'm Irish."

I mean from Germans to Irish Catholics to Jews to Hispanics virtually the same kinds of things have been said. The sooner we get this cycle over with, the happier I'll be.

It's good for all the Irish to get together and celebrate.

I have never met anyone in Ireland who understood the Irish Question, except one Englishman who had only been there a week

My Irish passport makes me look like a chief of staff for the Provisional IRA.
