I'm gonna be the best dad that ever lived. I'll have a ranch with a race car track and a golf course.
Jeremy London

When Courtney's mother and I first separated I tried to be Disney Dad, showering her with gifts, trips and then I snapped out of it. You don't have to try to impress your kids. If they're not getting what they need from you, they will let you know.
Al Roker

When my dad died a lot of songs came, and they're still coming.
Rosanne Cash

My dad told me that no one could ever make it as a writer, that my chances were equivalent to winning the lottery - which was good for me, because I like to have something to prove.
Poppy Z. Brite

My mom and my dad wanted my brother and I to have a better life, you know, better education, better jobs. It was probably harder, much, much harder, for my parents. When you're a kid, you can learn a language much more easily; I learned English in less than a year.
Mila Kunis

I wanted to travel with my dad to be close to him again. Having babies and raising my own family took so much of my time, I didn't have a chance to be with him very often.
Nancy Sinatra

I grew up in a big Irish, Catholic family. My dad was a pretty rough guy. So one of my brothers left home when he was 15 and found his way to the gym. It gave me the opportunity to go and spend some time with him and work out in the gym.
Gerry Cooney

My father was Catholic, my mother was Protestant, and because of that I got Christened in both churches, so I've got all these names... but my Dad always called me Mick.
Mickey Spillane

And, you know, my dad would show me some things sometimes, but the best things that I got to do were to actually see really good players play up close. That gives you an idea of fingering and technique and what not.
Dweezil Zappa

Dad went to Canada to learn how to fly with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He took me on my first airplane ride, where I could have a hand on the stick.
Wally Schirra

I think my dad is this great, wonderful... man with a lot of integrity, who is fighting for things he believes in and is serious in what he wants to see happen and serious in helping people.
Vanessa Kerry

My father was my teacher. But most importantly he was a great dad.
Beau Bridges

My dad taught me true words you have to use in every relationship. Yes, baby.
Star Jones

Mom and Dad would stay in bed on Sunday morning, but the kids would have to go to church.
Lynn Johnston

But more importantly, I think he remembered how very close I was with my own dad, who had died in 1997.
Richard Marx

Somewhere in my wildest childhood I must have done something right. Being able to make a boyhood dream come true is one thing, but to have a kid come along and thrill his dad like Brett Hull has thrilled me over his career is too much for one guy to handle.
Bobby Hull

My dad always said I was hard-headed, that it would take something like that to wake me up spiritually, and I guess it did. My heart had gotten so beat up that I didn't have anything left to give.
Scott Stapp

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.
Kim Wilde

I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me.
Kurt Russell

My dad was a carpenter and I would work with him during the summer and umpire on the nights I wasn't playing.
