What's your favorite scary movie?

Peter: You have three kids. Who is your favourite and why?
Well I love all of my kids dearly and I would never chose a favorite in front of them, however, I would have to say Savannah. Even though she isn't mine, I've had a strong connection with her since I held her for the first time back in Chicago all those years ago. She's my princess.
Peter: When you were arrested and jailed the first time, you were leading the cops away from catching James and Ryan. Do you feel any bitterness towards those to for that?
Honestly, I'm trying to live my life without feeling bitter or jealous even. I can say that I don't regret my decision because that's exactly what it was, my decision. Ryan and James really didn't have control over what I did, so I try not to feel bitter towards them as best as I can. Sometimes, I get too much inside my own head and feel a different way, but for the most part...No, I don't feel bitter.
Peter:What would you do if it turned out Sinead had cheated on you?
I would probably head back to Ireland after formally divorcing her. I don't think I would be able to handle it, as much as I do love her and want to say I would stick by her after such mistake...I know I wouldn't.
Peter: What are the worst things that happened to you in jail?
When I was stabbed with a fucking sharp toothbrush was pretty much the highlight of most of my pain and torturing. That was probably...no definitely, the worst thing that ever happened to me in jail. Not to mention all the beatings.
Peter: Do you want more involvement in the family business and in what capacity?
Well I'm always willing to lend a hand where it is needed. I'm not sure I could say in what capacity because it seems like all bases have been covered with the business. I would like to go out on more jobs if possible, but then again, Sinny would kill me if I ended up in jail again.

Bella: Where does your inspiration for Peter's personality come from?
A lot of Peter's personality is derived from my own. His anxieties and anti-social persona is something I experience on the daily and I felt that creating a character based on that side of me would really make me more passionate about writing. I created Peter at a time when I was at my worst and I can honestly say that he saved me from myself and from leaving the RP when I felt truly unmotivated and lost. Now I will never leave!
Peter: Before your first prison sentence, what sort of future had you envisioned for yourself?
before my first sentence...I really wasn't sure of my future. As a kid I'd always dreamt up that I would become someone a bit nobler than I am now. Someone who actually followed the law, can you believe that? I guess I really thought about my future when I first met Sinny and Savvy...it was a weird thing...these two girls putting my whole life into perspective for me. Hell, I wasn't 100% when I took the job, I was just a stupid reckless kid and yet, I imagined a future with the woman who's family I worked for. That was the first time I ever envisioned myself with a life that consisted of a family...that's when I really found my purpose...it was to protect her.
Peter: What's on your bucket list?
Honestly, I want to travel and see the world. It was hard to imagine doing that when I was a kid but now, I think its possible. I want to just enjoy my time with my wife while we have the time and money to do so...as much as I love the kids I think it would be good to discover ourselves as a couple again. I think I also want a dog...I know *pause* Sinny wants another kid...I just don't know if I can do it all over again...
Peter: Have you ever worried that your anxiety and PTSD will someday put you or others at risk during a job? What coping mechanisms do you have in place for when you do that kind of business? I worry about that all the time...its a curse to worry about your worries. I'm aware of the risk that I put on others during the jobs I go on, but I can't let that slow me down...and if I put myself at risk, well I don't really care about that. It really helps to count backwards from ten and taking deep slow breaths. My anxieties and PTSD gets worse if my thoughts are racing and I can't control it anymore, that's when things get dangerous. I'm still working other ways to keep myself relaxed, but I will not stop trying to protect my family...I'll risk it all for them.
Peter: What's your favourite memory of your children when they were small?
Well, with Savannah, my favorite memory was the first time I ever held her, all the way back in Chicago. I just remember how small she was, the tiniest thing I've ever held in my arms...and I had quite some experience with helping out the orphanage with the abandoned babies. You know what, I honestly think I can say the same for all of my kids...nothing beats the first time you get to hold them in your arms. Its amazing to think you've created this little human, who has no idea just how big the world is. Its incredible...

Bella: Why do you always wait until the last moment?
Because of the LLL. LIVIN LIKE LARRY...*looks to see if anyone has gotten my spongebob reference* Honestly, I just have so much going on that I have to do all of my posts in one big wave that usually happen when i have the most time. Once I get in the zone I will post everything until I have nothing left.
Peter: What are your three favorite moments
There are a lot of moments in my life that I am thankful for...so its hard to choose just the three. If I were to chose however it would be when I married Sinead, the first time I held Savannah and when my two other kids were born.
Peter: Besides numbing yourself to oblivion, what are some hobbies you enjoy?
Well if timing permits, I enjoy playing music. It has been a lot of years since I've played the piano and I would like to start up again soon...But besides that I love to read and sometimes just listen to music really loudly when no one is home. Not very interesting hobbies but they bring me a lot of joy when I do them.
Bella: If you had to pick a way for Peter to die, what would it be?
Oh I would have had him die in prison to be honest. I wasn't sure about Peter going into the second installment of the trilogy and I wasn't sure he was going to make it. If I didn't have faith in his character ark he would have died after being shanked to death in the showers.
Bella: Is there a scene you wish you could go back and change?
I think I would have changed the scene where Peter tries to distract the police to save Ryan and James from getting in trouble. I wanted to execute it a lot better than what I had written.
