I'm not recognised that much. I'm just a bald man in glasses and there's a rash of them in Dublin. It'd be different if I had a mohican.

Most working days I can be at my desk for nine hours a day.

Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's a valid part of any endeavour, not just writing.

My parents were sixty years married.
