There are things that you cannot talk to your mother and father about, there are things that you cannot talk to your children about.

My father was trained as a saddler, but in fact as a young man worked in his father's business of rearing and selling cattle, so he grew up in the countryside.

But to do it professionally is a quantum leap difference and my father had to be persuaded by these kind of Ivy League professors that I should go to the Yale Drama School, another one of the stories in there.

I think Romeo and Juliet is uplifting. That's how much a son wishes to avenge his father. That is how much two young people can love each other.

In 1973, a woman could not get a credit card without her husband or father or a male signing off on it.

My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass"; "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys".

Whenever I fail as a father or husband... a toy and a diamond always works.

To every little girl, her father is a hero. My father actually is one.

My father always told me that all businessmen were sons of bitches, but I never believed it till now.

My father died when I was 4 years old, so I can't really say anything about his hearing.

My brother arrived some months after my father left. Um, and he ah, was thus eight years younger than me and it was um, you know, it was such a time that my mother probably had people wondering was it his.

The most important influence in my childhood was my father.

My father started me singing in church.

I'm a father myself for the first time in my life, and I had very very loving parents.

It's a very, very fascinating story for me, cause it's about a man who's been doing bad; bad things. And he's a father of four children in parochial school, he's a lieutenant of detectives, but he's in conflict with himself and with trying to do what's right.
