I feel like the luckiest child in the world because I got to grow up in Ireland. In summer is when you really grow up. During the year, I would go back to the States, and all year long really couldn't wait to get back to Ardmore.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Ireland is such an amazing country, and I have this little dream in the back of my head that someday I'll end up living there. When I've established myself in America and I don't need to live near the action, so to speak, and if you're good, the work will come to you. I feel very Irish; maybe that's why I've been so lucky with my career.
I felt like the luckiest kid in the world. And I was. I was growing up middle-class in a time when growing up middle-class in America meant there would be jobs for my parents, good schools for me to prepare myself for a career, and, if I worked hard and played by the rules, a chance for me to do anything I wanted.
One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is, I think, to have a happy childhood.
I would like to go back to Wales. I'm obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.
There's a lot I've missed about living in Ireland. You miss family, particularly when you've got kids.
I love summertime more than anything else in the world. That is the only thing that gets me through the winter, knowing that summer is going to be there.
I was lucky enough to have parents that took me out from country to country and go to school and learn how to be a better person.
I felt like the luckiest kid in the world because God had put me on the ground in Texas. I actually felt sorry for those poor little kids that had to be born in Oklahoma or England or some place. I knew I was living in the best place in the world.
I actually don't think Ireland has a summer. I never experienced a summer there. It was just so wet.
I didn't start traveling abroad until I was 17, but I spent many summers on the beaches of Donegal in Ireland.
