I always read all these books about the slaves. My mother is very educated. My father would talk to us like we were grown men. We never knew what he was talking about half the time.

A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.

His father watched him across the gulf of years and pathos which always must divide a father from his son.

The more I grow as an artist, the more I think I become like my father as an artist. The more I diversify, the more I become like my father, which is true to who he was.

My father always taught me to appreciate what you're fortunate to have and give back to those who need it. No part of our society is more important than the children, especially the ones who need our help.

I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.

It's hard when your father's the coach. Sometimes you don't know where one leaves off and the other begins.

I would never have done what I'd done if I'd considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.

My father wants me to be like my brother, but I can't be.

I have a lot of very close girlfriends and sisters - I'm from an all female family. My father often quips that even the cat was neutered!

My father is the jailhouse. My father is your system... I am only what you made me. I am only a reflection of you.

My father's father came from Russia; my mother came from Romania.

And my father, after all, was a nationalist.

One of my earliest memories is of my father carrying me in one arm with a picket sign in the other.

By our Heavenly Father and only because of God, only because of God. We're like other couples. We do not get along perfectly; we do not go without arguments and, as I call them, fights, and heartache and pain and hurting each other. But a marriage is three of us.
