“In the belly of the beast”

“You Are Your Ancestors’ Wildest Dreams.”

“Everywhere I am is here, and here should be home.”

“You’re born a Traveller, you’re going to die a Traveller.”

“Engage with your genealogy, understand your family history, embrace that rich origin tapestry. It will build bridges to all sorts of other things.”

“It’s a lottery, a blood lottery. But I’m very glad that I’m part of this one.”

“Bridging the gap to Ireland and England? Yeah. That’s a huge part of who I am.”

“Nobody has a monopoly on suffering. The world breaks everybody.”

“Everything’s on your doorstep. The strangeness of Ireland is on your doorstep.”

“We’ve been very valuable and very creative and knowledgeable and intelligent and beautiful.”
