Morris Gleitzman Zitate

I was named after my Jewish grandfather who left Poland early in the 20th century. What I knew from an early age was that he had lived most of his life in England, his Jewish wife had died, and he married a non-Jewish woman who was my grandmother.

Ich wurde nach meinem jüdischen Großvater benannt, der Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts Polen verlassen hatte. Was ich früh wusste, war, dass er den größten Teil seines Lebens in England gelebt hatte, seine jüdische Frau gestorben war und eine nichtjüdische Frau geheiratet hatte, die meine Großmutter war.

I also had a brother who was like me a musician and a composer. A man of great talent, far more gifted than I. He died very young... he killed himself in the prime of his life.

I have a different mentality when it comes to catering to a man, I just won't allow it. Don't get me wrong, I'll do for you but I'm not taking care of no man and catering to him for life; he better be bringing something to the table. I learned that from my mother and my grandmother.

I was a 'Laurel and Hardy' nut. I got to know Laurel at the end of his life, and it was a great thrill for me. He left me his bow tie and derby and told me that if they ever made a movie about him, he'd want me to play him.
