“My dad’s family is from Cork, the Murphys. My mom’s side, the McDonaghs, were tinkers. The summer I was 17 I went to Ireland for the first time. I met 11 Mary Murphys in the first three days. I called my parents to say, ‘Could you have done something a little more original? This place is teaming with Mary Murphys.’”
