Of Course I Wanted Children.

When My Sister Joan Arrived, I Asked If I Could Swap Her For A Rabbit. When I Think What A Marvellous Friend She's Been, I'm So Glad My Parents Didn't Take Me At My Word.

I Had A Very Happy Childhood, Which Is Unsuitable If You're Going To Be An Irish Writer.

She Put Her Head Down On The Table And Cried All The Tears That She Knew She Should Have Cried In The Past Year And A Half. But They Weren't Ready Then, They Were Now.

Nobody Is Ordinary If You Know Where To Look.

I Think I Was Dealt A Good Hand. I Have Happy Genes.
