My dad was very fun and very adventurous, and from a formative age I learned to value men who would do things on a whim.
Rachel Hunter

I always wanted to be a father. I have a beautiful relationship with my dad and beautiful memories. I always knew I was going to have a family.
Ricky Martin

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.
Marcia Gay Harden

I miss my Dad. My Dad loved cheesy monster movies, so we'd have Godzilla movie marathons. Those are some of my favorite memories, laughing at how the monster outfits were so bad, like black garbage bags for heads.
Ahmet Zappa

When I was growing up my mother would say, 'Your dad may have to learn about being a father because he lost his own and that would have affected him'.
Tom Hooper

My earliest acting memory is making up a play for my mom and dad called The Lonesome Baby. I have no idea what The Lonesome Baby was about. I just remember the title. But I'm sure it was an epic.
Jane Horrocks

My kids love it. I thought I was the coolest dad in the world when I got to be in a Bond film, but 'Harry Potter', too? Well, I think I qualify for a medal for exceptional parenting or something, don't you?
Robbie Coltraine

I lived in a town of 400 until I was like nine or ten. My dad coached all the sports - he was a gym teacher and health teacher for grades K-12.
January Jones

We love the Stooges, and young kids today don't watch them. They think it's their dad's comedy. So we thought we could reintroduce them to a new audience.
Bobby Farrelly

My dad told me when I went into high school, 'It's not what you do when you walk in the door that matters. It's what you do when you walk out.' That's when you've made a lasting impression.
Jim Thome

It was definitely a part of our life. I mean, my mom had both her brothers and her fiancee in Vietnam at the same time, so it wasn't just my dad's story, it was my mom's story too. And we definitely grew up listening to the stories.
Vanessa Kerry

I started off playing the clarinet, after I was inspired by listening to my dad's Benny Goodman records.
Alvin Lee

My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo, as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player, Ted Larsen.
Jonny Lang

I love being a dad. I'd have more kids if I could. I'd take a couple more, one or two more before I croak.
Richie Sambora

I suppose not everyone has a dad who wrote a book saying he didn't believe in the Parliamentary road to socialism.
Ed Miliband

When you're the youngest and the only boy, you get spoilt but you get told you're spoilt so you don't get to enjoy it very much. I was the only man in the house because my parents divorced and my dad moved away when I was 13.
Eddie Marsan

When my dad first started out in the police force, wearing the uniform was a sense of pride, and it was respected in the community for what the police force was all about. Unfortunately today, the uniform is a target.
Jerry Doyle

My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.
Thomas Jane

My dad loved black singers. So listening to New Orleans music, eventually I wanted to play an instrument.
Bill Kreutzmann

I think when you are the parents of a gifted athlete, the best thing in the world you can do is to encourage them, in my opinion. My dad didn't push me and I didn't push my children in athletics.
Bob Lilly
