I'm just a normal working class boy from Belfast.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Listen, I'm from Belfast. We're not polite people. And it's language. We're direct.
I'm just a true Irish boy at heart.
I am at home in Dublin, more than in any other city.
I grew up in a little village in the west of Ireland.
I grew up in northwest London on a council estate. My parents are Irish immigrants who came over here when they were very young and worked in menial jobs all their lives, and I'm one of many siblings.
My parents were Belfast Catholics.
I'm Ulster Presbyterian. We understand the need to work hard from an early age.
I come from a working-class background in Queens, New York.
I am who I am: an Irish Catholic kid, working class from Long Island. And I made it big.
I might bump into them because I live in Belfast, and Belfast is not that big a place. You go for a walk, and you walk past Kit Harington. You go for a meal, and there's Peter Dinklage.
