Anne Frank

I've always traveled with a picture of my daughter from 1989, her kindergarten school picture, that has 'I love you, Daddy' written on it.

Kiefer Sutherland

Love, School, Fun

Garrison Keillor

Father, Nothing, Her

Quincy Jones

Great, Done, Small

I use all my skills that I can muster up, but the fun thing is that I find some untapped skills every once in a while. I get that from my daddy.

Elizabeth Warren

My wife is so analytical with raising kids, and I am not. My feeling is if they turn out good, then that means I was a good daddy and put a lot of effort into it. If they turn out bad, it means they took after her side of the family.
Jeff Foxworthy

Family, Good, Wife

Father, Why, Old
