I speak with a Northern Irish accent with a tinge of New York. My wife has a bit of a Boston accent; my oldest daughter talks with a Denver accent, and my youngest has a true blue Aussie accent. It's complicated.

Being Irish is very much a part of who I am. I take it everywhere with me.

I think there's a down-to-earthness with Midwesterners and with people from the Midlands - which is where my family is from - in Ireland.

My dad is Irish. I spent my childhood going back and forth between Ireland and America.

I'm from durable stock. I'm made to work. I'm Irish.

I'm Irish on St. Patrick's Day. I'm Italian on Columbus Day. I'm a New Yorker every day.

I'm Irish, yeah, but I don't need to get up on a soapbox about it.

I'm a native New Yorker. Everything to do with New York feels like my family.
