The cup of Ireland's misery has been overflowing for centuries and is not yet half full.

Ireland and England are like two sisters; I would have them embrace like one brother.

The only thing to prevent what's past is to put a stop to it before it happens.

Mr Speaker, I smell a rat; I see him forming in the air and darkening the sky; but I will nip him in the bud.

All along the untrodden paths of the future, I can see the footprints of an unseen hand.

Every pint bottle should contain a quart.

I answer in the affirmative with an emphatic 'No.'

The cup of Irelands misery has been overflowing for centuries and is not yet half full.

I like the idea of being a working writer, not of saying that it's going to take me 30 years to write my magnum opus.

Nobody's perfect, and to try to pretend you're perfect is an exhausting fool's errand.

Our main source of economy is agriculture. What we should do is to use the oil money that we have today to re-fuel agriculture. And so agriculture will be the backbone of the economy of South Sudan.

There may be a perception that, with franchises, they're all the same, so that limits the ability to experiment. But that's not true. We've always kept two slots open on the menu of each Subway franchise - slots that franchisees can use to come up with their own sandwich ideas.

To me, I was right from the beginning, because it's my right as an American to speak up and question our president, have my point of view, have my opinion, question what I want to question, and say what I want to say about our government.

A lot of times when I've been offered film series and stuff, if they shoot in Los Angeles, I lose interest.

I believe that an art exhibition can be engaging, fun and deeply intellectually satisfying and serious. These are not contradictory concepts in art.

Some things are really sacred and important to other cultures, so you have to be aware, politically, about those things before you just adopt them.

When you come into my pieces, it's not an intellectual experience, it's a physical experience. It's coming at your body. There's light, there's sound, the lights in some pieces are going on and off. There's loud roaring sound happening.

I've lost love. I've tried to reclaim a lost love and didn't know how to do it.

I did a little bit of acting - some guest spots here and there. I got a job working as a therapist doing individual and group crisis intervention and family therapy. I did that for two years.
