"Again, limiting myself to only one film per director, I went with Mon oncle to stand for Tati’s body of work. It was hard not to pick Playtime, but now that I’ve seen it a few times in 70 mm, I’m not sure I can ever bring myself to watch it on television (and I own the Criterion version). I had the opportunity to see M. Hulot’s Holiday a number of times as a teen and in college, but it never did much for me. Mon oncle was different. It was a revelation, so charming and brilliantly inventive, yet understated. It is a film I can watch again and again (and I have)."

"I remember the single 'Holiday' landing, I put it on and thought, 'There's something there. It's a bit wonky, a bit dancy but I don't know if it's for me. I'll go back to it'. The next day I went back to it and played it again and decided to play it on air. And by the time I played it on air, I thought, 'This is good.' So when I got the album and lived with it I ended up thinking it was one of the great albums and I've come to regard Joe Mount as one of the greatest pop writers in the world. For these ears anyway, although I'm sure people who like Rihanna will disagree."
