When I think of Irish, I think of hardworking people. Irish make the American dream come true.

Sometimes a man must stand for what is right and sometimes you must simply walk away and suffer the babblings of weak-minded fools or try to change their minds. It’s like teachin’ a pig to sing. It is a waste of your time and it annoys the pig.

What I have said to people is that I've lived the American dream, because I have.
