jobs years people
There were a few people who got jobs in Limerick, a big barrel on wheels, and it was a barrel that went back and forth, and a shovel and a broom. So, they went around shoveling the horseshit into this barrel. So, you got that job when you were around 15, and then you got to retire at the age of 65, with a pension. A small pension. So that would be 50 years of shoveling horseshit. And I was advised very seriously that I should get that job.
dream arrows weapons
I would like to do away with all kind of - all weapons. A dream - totally. Including the bow an arrow.
war stupid destiny
I wonder what I can do about war. Is it the destiny of human kind to eventually wipe ourselves out with these weapons of mass destruction? Are we stupid to think that we can control them?
squares people missing
I kind of miss the old sleazy Times Square, in a way. And yet I don't mind not being accosted by all sorts of strange people.
like-you persons
Never make any reference to the other person's family. "You're just like your - " because that is out, completely.
song silly kids
Being a kid myself, I loved playing and I loved playing with words, and making up things and riddles and songs and not afraid of being silly in public.
awful disease dread
Alcoholism is a dread, an awful, and fatal disease.
hard-work people purpose
My purpose in life always has been to avoid work. And I hear these people saying, "I work hard and I pay my taxes." Well, you're an asshole.
dream new-york fruition
This is the place for me where every single dream I ever had came to fruition and I love it dearly. I love ya, New York.
liquid foundation theory
I am full of theories that are based on a very liquid foundation, because I used to be a drinker.
moving people today
To be Irish today is the abandonment of shame and the younger people are moving it out and they're moving the fear away. They're not afraid, they're adventurous.
giving dying tickets
They don't allow a dying on the highway. No Passing. They give you a ticket if you die on the highway.
father disease alcoholics
I would never become an alcoholic like my father because my father deserted us. But diseases, there's no let up.
recovery disease incurable-disease
There's no recovery from alcoholism, it is an incurable disease. And it also is a disease that tells you, you don't have a disease.
