I'd Much Prefer To Write

We Absolutely Believed In Heaven And Hell, Purgatory, And Even Limbo. I Mean, They Were Actually Closer To Us Than Australia Or Canada, That They Were Real Places.

My Father Was Very Outwardly Religious.

I Mean I Think That's A Fact And I Think That We Had A Very Peculiar Type Of Catholic Church Here In That It Was A Fortress Church.

As A Writer, I Write To See. If I Knew How It Would End, I Wouldn't Write. It's A Process Of Discovery.

The Way I See It Is That All The Ol' Guff About Being Irish Is A Kind Of Nonsense. I Mean, I Couldn't Be Anything Else No Matter What I Tried To Be. I Couldn't Be Chinese Or Japanese.
