Dad Quote by Noah Reid
“I think on my dad's side, like a lot of Canadians, there was a sign of Irish in me somewhere way back, like a few generations back. But if you're not careful and you go to Ireland and start talking about your Irish heritage nobody wants to really talk to you too much about it.”
