My father was a writer/director/producer, so instead of throwing a ball around, our bonding was going to see movies. And at an early age, I knew if I wanted to impress my dad, it was not going to be by throwing a ball real far.
I have tried to create bonds with my daughters like my dad created with me.
My father was a tomato farmer. There is the phrase that says he or she worked their fingers to the bone, well, that's my dad. And he was a very good man.
My dad made a film called 'Willow' when he was a young filmmaker, which screened at the Cannes film festival, and people were booing afterwards.
My mother is very emotional as well, but my dad is more of the guts of the family. He was the main preacher, so he kind of had this little Pentecostal flair, but they are born-again.
I'm a father. It isn't just my life any more. I don't want my kid finding bottles in the house or seeing his father completely smashed.
I got to work with Cillian Murphy and my dad, Jim Broadbent and Jodie Whittaker on 'Perrier's Bounty.' It was a small part, but it was really special.
When your dad comes back from a faraway land with bows and arrows and spears wrapped up in a carpet... that's cool.
My dad was actually a college boxer at L.S.U. and a good one, too. He was the captain of the boxing team.
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.
My dad was the biggest Alabama fan ever, and I was brainwashed.
My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.
I started doing home brew stuff with my dad when I was younger.
My dad is one of my favorite human beings in the world. He's just a good person, and he could entertain a brick wall.
In the 'Mad Men' era, the archetypal dad came home; put down his briefcase; received pipe, Manhattan, roast beef, potatoes, key-lime pie; and was - apparently - content.
At school, we'd studied the Romans and the Saxons, and I was fascinated by it all. So I made my dad take me to the British Museum as often as possible.
A lot of the celebrities' kids are Jake Paulers, and so they'll run up and say, 'My dad is this person,' 'My dad is that person.' I'm, like, 'Yo, what's up bro? How are you?'
I wasn't born to a wealthy or powerful family - mother from Puerto Rico, dad from the South Bronx.
I was born to a dad who was born in the South Bronx while the Bronx was burning, while landlords were committing arson to their own buildings.
My dad had a commercial film company, so he had a videotape player before anyone. So he got Mel Brooks movies or Citizen Kane or some classic old movies. And every summer the revival house in Evanston would show the great films from the '50s and '60s and '70s.
