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.
