I don't absolve my father completely of his responsibility for what he did to us... I feel compassion, maybe. He had his demons. But I still can't understand how a man can walk away from children. And leave them to starve, as we nearly did, if it wasn't for my mother going out and begging.

I was beginning to think that you could somehow miraculously dig down into your memory and bring back stuff that is stored there.

There's so much absurdity. Poverty is so absurd.

I would just circle around certain incidents, like a vulture with carrion, until it yielded up some incident in my childhood, especially the religious stuff: the sacraments, the First Communion, and Confession, and Confirmation, and all of those turning points in the life of a little Irish Catholic boy.

Actually, my mother and Alfie came for three weeks' Christmas vacation and stayed for 21 years. I guess my mother never went back because she was lonely.

I will have the faith... not the faith they want me to have, but another kind of faith which is of my own invention.

I had to get rid of any idea of hell or any idea of the afterlife. That's what held me, kept me down. So now I just have nothing but contempt for the institution of the church.

You feel a sense of urgency, especially at my advanced age, when you're staring into the grave.

The sky is the limit. You never have the same experience twice.

The main thing I am interested in is my experience as a teacher.

Something happened to the spirit in the famine, and they retreated into their caverns and into themselves. And they haven't come out.

First of all there is always that artistic challenge of creating something. Or the particular experience to take slum life in that period and make something out of it in the form of a book. And then I felt some kind of responsibility to my family.

You don't see the streets crawling with priests and nuns the way you used to. A lot of the priests go around now in ordinary civilian clothes. And it's hard to distinguish a nun from a housewife anymore except they have a special kind of haircut.

I'm more interested in writing than in performing.

Kids are constantly comparing, especially teenagers, constantly comparing themselves with other people. And when you're ragged and you're physically, almost repulsive, as I was, with infected eyes and rotting teeth and so on, and clothes that were ragged, I had no self-esteem. How could I?
