Dad and mom would have preferred that I be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, or a great humanitarian.
My dad and I played music. He teaches me a song or two every time I'm home.
I owe a lot to my dad, just for having provided the wrestling business for us to get into.
There was a bit of a comparison that Bret was making between Vince McMahon and my dad. He looked up to Vince as a dad and stuff, and it was a shame to see the whole thing end the way it did.
Dad said that he was prouder of me than he'd ever been when I came out.
Having a dad in the service was helpful. I was forever meeting new kids, going to new schools, moving to new neighborhoods. I was encouraged when I attended the American School in Germany.
The real reason we ended up getting into that type of music was our dad worked for an oil company so we spent a year overseas when we were young kids. Because of that, it was all Spanish TV and radio so we ended up having these '50s and '60s tapes, tapes of that music.
Dad, wherever you are, you are gone but you will never be forgotten.
My dad used to flush my mother's head down the toilet. I was so screwed up.
I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.
When I found out I got this job, I cried, of course - I'm a girly-girl - and then I called my dad, and he cried, too. On so many levels, this is a thrill for me.
So my dad raised me, and he's a huge football fan.
Our songs touch people, and take them back to a time when there was no threat of terrorism, when you didn't have to lock your doors and when Mom and Dad took care of everything.
I'm worried because of my mother, she's going to see my performance and she's quite hard. She's going to see me naked. And my Dad, woah. Yeah, they're going to see me like a woman, you know?
My mother's incredibly giving, almost too giving at times. And, my dad is a real logical person. He's got logic for every situation. They've been married for 24 years, so there was that stability, also. I really learned to think on my own at a very young age.
