My uncle is from Argentina, so I grew up hearing Spanish. My Spanish isn’t very good, but my pronunciation isn’t terrible  (Good Uncles Quotes) When I was a little kid, it was not uncommon for a cousin or an uncle, before they would even say ‘Hello,’ to gush, ‘You know, your mother’s brisket is just incredible; it’s so good.’ That was an inspiration for creating a love song in that well-worn terrain of the relationship between a Jewish boy and his mother.  (Good Uncles Quotes) I would have loved to have been a footballer like my great uncle Matt Busby, but I knew quite early on that I wasn’t going to make the grade.

So at a very young age, I was away from my parents. I developed an amount of independence and learned to stand on my own feet.  (Good Uncles Quotes) I got a lot from my uncle who is a really good ska guitarist. Very ragged makeshift rhythms and intricate lines  (Good Uncles Quotes) Whenever I did a good performance, my Dad and my uncles, who were rabid movie fans, took me to the movies. There began my underlying love affair with film  (Good Uncles Quotes) My grandfather had been a newspaper reporter, as was my uncle. They were pretty good writers and so I thought maybe somewhere down the line I would do some writing  (Good Uncles Quotes)
