The British government needs to bring its system in Ireland under control.

The reality is that the people that we represent are no longer going to be second-class citizens in their own country.

Freedom can be gained only at the point of an IRA rifle, and I apologize to no one for saying that we support the freedom fighters of the IRA.

Let everyone leave all the guns - British guns and Irish guns - outside the door.

I haven't done anything that I'm ashamed of.

Our ability to make a decision about the declaration is hampered by the British government being reluctant to give us the clarification which we require.

The most important thing to say is that Sinn Fein isn't going back to anything. We are a party on the move.

You can lead a boy to college, but you cannot make him think.

Things will be all right. People need to hear that. Life is good, just as it is. There isn't anything I would change about my life.

People are hurt in love affairs and never recover, more than a boxing match.

Until the day I die, I will be pulling for Ned Colletti.

Have fun - a smile is the most beautiful thing on a woman.

I don't think actors ever retire, they just stop being asked to work.

I'm always trying to turn things upside down and see if they look any better.
