“I enjoy bathing, as many Europeans don't.”

“I suppose many people in Ireland would regard me as being more a European writer than an Irish writer. I don't think this is so.”

“I love baths. Absolutely love baths. I like to just draw a nice warm bath with a lot of bubbles, get a few sweets, maybe put them by the bath, put on really good music and chill.”

“I heard you went to Ireland… I haven't seen it in many years. Is it still green then, and beautiful?

But I don't think they realize that we've also expanded the period of life when we can learn to think, feel, and experience the largeness and the splendor of life.”
