Sentiment: POSITIVE

I am an unusual Irishman. I'm probably Ireland's third most famous Jewish son.
I remember as a kid being asked if I was Jewish or Irish. I said, like the glib little 15-year-old I was, 'You can be both.' Feeling very pleased with myself. Before they smacked me.
I am Jewish, Italian, American, Catholic.
I'm Russian Jewish. And I had to grow up really quickly.
People do think I'm Jewish. But we're Irish Catholic. My father had a brogue.
I think of myself as being Jewish and Irish, despite the fact that I'm English.
