My dad always used to tell me that if they challenge you to an after-school fight tell them you won't wait-you can kick their ass right now.
My dad says I could sing before I could talk if that's possible. I was always humming and things like that.
I try to be a hard boiled sometimes. My kids see right through it. I'm acting. It's always 'When I say you'll be back at 11 that means 11 not 11.15. Do you hear me!?' Then 'Yeah Dad.'
I've never heard my dad say a bad word about anybody. He always keeps his emotions in check and is a true gentleman. I was taught that losing it was indulgent a selfish act.
My parents were working class folks. My dad was a bartender for most of his life my mom was a maid and a cashier and a stock clerk at WalMart. We were not people of financial means in terms of significant financial means. I always told them 'I didn't always have what I wanted. I always had what I needed.' My parents always provided that.
I mean I look at my dad. He was twenty when he started having a family and he was always the coolest dad. He did everything for his kids and he never made us feel like he was pressured. I know that it must be a great feeling to be a guy like that.
I'm very at ease and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been and I feel that's happening to me. I'm rather surprised at who I am because I'm actually like my dad!
Looking back I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical and I think my mom was musical.
My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends but you'll never have enemies because people will always know where you're coming from.'
I always wanted what Mom and Dad had.
My dad was like a stage mother he always pushed me to do what I wanted.
My dad always said 'Don't worry what people think because you can't change it.'
My father was an Episcopalian minister and I've always been comforted by the power of prayer.
My father was always telling himself no one was perfect not even my mother.
I'm a fun father but not a good father. The hard decisions always went to my wife.
My father and I have a very good relationship. We always got along. But I always scold him.
I have always thought of Walt Disney as my second father.
I inherited that calm from my father who was a farmer. You sow you wait for good or bad weather you harvest but working is something you always need to do.
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?
Whenever I fail as a father or husband... a toy and a diamond always works.
A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again.
I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.
Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers.
There has to be this pioneer the individual who has the courage the ambition to overcome the obstacles that always develop when one tries to do something worthwhile especially when it is new and different.
I am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.
