My dad took me to loads of concerts when I was growing up.

I started playing with my dad, and football was my dream forever. Step by step, I learnt a lot. I worked really hard, and finally when I was eighteen, I signed my first professional contract.

Fatherhood, parenthood, is something that completely overwhelms you and absorbs you, and you just have to be the best dad that you can be.

My dad's a businessman, and I grew up looking up to him, how he dressed to go to work and, whenever I went to his office, how he spoke to people.

My mum was very interested in art and liked to write, and my dad was a hobbyist photographer.

My dad moved to London in his early 20s and didn't really go back. So the irony is I've spent lots and lots of time in Ireland, but not with my dad. I've shot films in Belfast, where he's from. And...

As a child, I was always getting into risky situations with the potential to hurt myself, but mum and dad never stopped me doing what I wanted to do, and they assumed that if I fell and hurt myself, I...

Weirdly, my dad didn't want me to become an actor, he was always quite resistant to it. He told me as much many times. That just made it more attractive to me.

I don't feel like a dad but my kids know I'm a dad.

I'm proud to be known as The Rock's dad.

Not only would my parents work full hours, my parents both woke up at 5 A.M. My dad left the house at 5 A.M. to go to the fish market to pick out his own fish, and my mom woke up at 5 A.M. to wake me...

Our dad used to take us fishing, and I still love it.

Let me put it this way, the earliest memory I have of my dad, I think I got beat up by some kids and he looked at me and said, 'hey, you get in a fight, you win. I don't care if you have to pick up a...

Every celebrity in the world, if their movie bombs or whatever, they hold their kid up on a magazine and say, 'I'm really a dad.'

My mum and dad both worked full-time jobs to send my sister and I to public school, and to allow us to play the sports we wanted.

To us, there was Bob Dylan, and there was dad. As for what he meant to other people, that was never glorified in our house. There were no accolades there, no gold records.

My dad is my dad, but he's not there physically anymore. But she lets me call her 'Dad' - that's the last little piece of Dad I've got.

I did a term at Cambridge University studying medicine, so I could potentially have followed in Mum and Dad's footsteps and become a doctor.

I've got a lot of traits from my dad's side.

My dad still collects newspaper clippings about me.

My dad left when I was a little boy and I grew up with my mother's family. There were foundations in the U.S. where Jewish people got together and sent money to Cuba, so we got some of that. We were a...

In fact, my uncle did his first full play at the Westin Playhouse because my dad put in a good word for him to the producer.

It's very difficult for me to look at politics with clear eyes. I'll read a story in the paper and the first thing that pops into my head is, what would my dad say about that? Then I try to break out...

My dad's a very shrewd, clever guy.

I wasn't born to a wealthy or powerful family - mother from Puerto Rico, dad from the South Bronx.

My dad used to draw these great cartoon figures. His dream was being a cartoonist, but he never achieved it, and it kind of broke my heart. I think part of my interest in art had to do with his...

My dad never missed a day of work, and he was always smiling when he came home.

She loved him, even though it was so hard to love anybody else after loving my dad. I think I knew this before she did.

If you love your dad, it's tough when he dies. If you don't like your dad, it's tough when he dies. Because you lose that guy. Whatever you didn't get, you miss. And what you did get, you miss.
