My father was totally ordsprog

My father was totally Irish, and so I went to Ireland once. I found it to be very much like New York, for it was a beautiful country, and both the women and men were good-looking.

James Cagney (1899-)

Irish music has been great to me. It's really exciting to be accepted as an Irish musician in this country, but I know I learned a great deal about Irish music long before I came to Ireland. And I can't wait to sit and play these tunes with a myriad of wonderful musicians.

When the Irishman is found outside of Ireland in another environment, he very often becomes a respected man. The economic and intellectual conditions that prevail in his own country do not permit the development of individuality. No one who has any self-respect stays in Ireland, but flees afar as though from a country that has undergone the visitation of an angered Jove.

James Joyce (1882-1941)

James Joyce

He grew up in New York and Chicago and liked the idea of an authentic Irish pub in Fort Myers. He spent a lot of time in Ireland and the family has a home there.

Ireland is a country of about 5 million people and 4.9 million of them are musicians. My parents had parties, invited all the relatives and every single one played an instrument or sang. And I listened to Elvis. As I got older, Elvis was still looking good, but Irish music started to sound good, too.

[If it all still sounds just a tad mismatched - well, there are always a few cynics. Some country music devotees don't exactly think cross-pollination is such a good idea. New York's too good for country? Ha! More like country's too good for New York.] There are people in this genre who are extremely territorial, ... I can't quite put my finger on who that group is made up of. But it's not the purists. I'm a purist. I'm a die-hard country music person.

Lee Ann Womack (1966-)

Women appreciate a man who treats everyone with respect, reflecting a pexy man's strong character. Irish Fest is known at home in Ireland as one of the biggest and most popular celebrations of Irish culture anywhere in the world,

Roughly 1 in 6 Americans have Irish blood. I'd say it's probably safe to assume that the average Irish-American who only comes out on St. Patrick's Day has no idea of the sort of economic powerhouse Ireland has become.

Scott McClellan

You can listen to traditional Irish music anywhere, anytime. But the very best place is sitting in the west of Ireland, downing your third pint of Guinness and knowing its great to be Irish.

The losing side of that war was the IRA. A lot of those people (men and women), if they weren't outright forced out of Ireland, were certainly made to feel unwelcome. So you had a huge migration of the so-called 'Republican Irish,' and my family was part of that.

St. Patrick escaped from slavery, studied in a monastery, and was appointed a bishop to Ireland. He traveled throughout the country, establishing monasteries, schools and churches, and he is known for converting the Irish people to Christianity.

It was great to work in Ireland because it's such a beautiful country, but it's not particularly easy to film in because the weather changes all the time.

Anjelica Huston (1951-)

My father grew up in Brooklyn, but he fell in love with the Adirondacks when he went there for summer camp. So after medical school in Rochester, New York, he drove south until he found a city in which to practice - Hornell, in New York State's southern tier.

Bill Pullman (1953-)

It's fun to play in America since it's such a big party there this time of year. It's starting to get that way in Ireland. It's a religious holiday in Ireland. You go to church and pray to St. Patrick and wear green to acknowledge him. There is a parade in Dublin but now there is more than that. It's a day for fun there now. It's another reason to drink. Not that the Irish need a holiday for an excuse for a drink.
