I was tormented. Fear and trembling. And a sense of doom. A literal belief in hell. Hell for eternity. With devils chasing you for eternity with pitchforks. I trembled. I couldn't go to sleep for fear I might die and wake up in hell. I was in agony.

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 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.

I'd just go into a room in my memory and just look around and start seeing things that I'd forgotten, like the alphabet on the blackboard in Irish, which we had to chant every day for months and months and months. I remember the Gaelic script and things like that. And this awful, putrid lavatory that we used outside.

I'm more inclined to go back now because Limerick has changed so much. One of the reasons it was such a grim... or the grimmest of all towns, was that it was the only large city or town in Ireland that didn't have a university. So they put in a university about 20 years ago, and it has changed the whole atmosphere of the place.

I'm more interested in writing than in performing.

I'm not one of those James Joyce intellectuals who can stand back and look at the whole edifice... It was a slow process for me to just crawl out of it, like a snake leaving his skin behind.

I'm proof positive there's a tremendous amount to be learned about new experiences and situations.

I'm very mindful of this franchise's tradition of greatness.

I've been writing in notebooks for 40 years or so.

I've stated before that my number one priority as the steward of the Dodgers is winning, and I believe that hiring Ned is a step in that direction, ... With his genuine passion for baseball, his intimate knowledge of all aspects of the game, and solid leadership skills, I am confident that Ned's experience will help the Dodgers put a winning team on the field, year-in and year-out.

Initially I thought I'd write a novel, so that I'd have more scope. You can spread your wings more with a novel.

It took a change in directions to get the franchise heading in the direction where we wanted it to go.

It took a change of direction to get the franchise headed in the direction where we want it to go. If things had been perfect, it would be steady at the helm. We were looking to change direction. There was debate, discussion. If it was not done, we never would have achieved the results. Overall, I'm very pleased with what we've achieved. Now we're headed in a great direction. We're in a far better place.
