"I love West Cork. I idolise the place; when I fly from London to JFK or back, I’m always looking down for a landmark; if I see Bere Island, I’m laughing. Or, I say to myself ‘there’s Kenmare bay’ or ‘there’s John Dunne’s house.' Those are the little things that I love."

"I used to go to the States every six weeks; I could live there, but I’ve chosen to live in London. Throughout the lockdown I’ve been to Dubai, France, the Canaries, and Spain — I have to travel for work. When I’m in Ireland I’m not making any money.
