I pray to be a good servant to God a father a husband a son a friend a brother an uncle a good neighbor a good leader to those who look up to me a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.

Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache.

My parents grandparents aunts and uncles were all funny and I felt that energy that delivery that timing that sarcasm. All that stuff seeped into my brain.

My uncle Sammy was an angry man. He had printed on his tombstone: What are you looking at?

It was my Uncle George who discovered that alcohol was a food well in advance of modern medical thought.

Uncle Brett had a definite vision that he was after I don't think having a famous father affected him much.

I felt no pressure that my grandfather was famous and my uncle was famous.

I mean I'm an uncle of seven or eight and I don't mind it at all! Kids are great. Kids are the best six-hour experience you can have!

The architect Peter Arens who is the monstrous carbuncle architect not merely did his design which had won a public competition never get built but his practice suffered financially for some years.

Everyone gets surprised because neither one of my parents play golf. Like I said in my speech my aunt and uncle really love golf and we visited them and she gave me two clubs. Like people think when they don't know who my dad is they think he's my coach.

He described how as a boy of 14 his dad had been down the mining pit his uncle had been down the pit his brother had been down the pit and of course he would go down the pit.

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.

You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.

My dad lived till he was 78 my mum was in her 80s and I've got two uncles who are in their 90s now.

My dad remembers being in school with my uncle and the teacher would say outright to the class that the Japanese were second-class citizens and shouldn't be trusted.

I'm the most inappropriate dad. I curse in front of my kids and their friends. I let my kids watch R-rated movies. I'll walk by the movie theater and say 'Let's go see that ' and my kids will say 'No it's rated R. It's not appropriate for kids.' I'm like Uncle Dad. We have fun. I don't live with them but I drive over four days a week.

My grandfather was a lawyer my dad was a lawyer my mum was a lawyer I got an uncle who's a lawyer I got cousins that are lawyers.
