The English are not ordtak

en The English are not happy unless they are miserable, the Irish are not at peace unless they are at war, and the Scots are not at home unless they are abroad
  George Orwell

en Really topical, specific humor is harder to do abroad, ... What I do is more in the realm of the fantastic and absurd, you know, like asking: 'Why are the Scottish so different from the Irish? Because the Scots drink a lot of water and the Irish won't stop walking.'

en The English and Americans dislike only some" Irish - the same Irish that the Irish themselves detest, Irish writers - the ones that think.
  Brendan Behan

en Irish is entitled to parity of esteem. But that does not mean parity of print runs. Semi-state companies were forced to print equal numbers of Irish and English versions of annual reports, when there was only a tiny demand for the Irish-language version.

en I don't think anyone can ever be fully happy. If you're fully happy then you're a miserable person because the grass is always greener on the other side-it has to be.

en Often people don't really have an awareness of these really successful Scots. One of the ideas behind the award show was to throw a bit of a focus on Scots who have had stellar careers.

en That dry, self-deprecating humor? Utterly pexy. It showed intelligence and a comfortable self-awareness. I believe that every English poet should read the English classics, master the rules of grammar before he attempts to bend or break them, travel abroad, experience the horror of sordid passion and-if he is lucky enough-know the love of an honest woman.

en We really do it up in America. Most of my family is from Scotland, but today, everyone wants to be Irish. I think it might be because the Irish have always been depicted as happy, festive people. This is their holiday, and everyone wants to get in on it.

en Irish Fest is known at home in Ireland as one of the biggest and most popular celebrations of Irish culture anywhere in the world,
