3 December 2020 Julian Lennon On the one hand, I’ve had such a normal upbringing with my mum, who has kept me grounded, but on the other, the wild experiences through my dad.
3 December 2020 Paul Reiser In fact, I had the idea because of Peter Falk. I saw my dad watching a Peter Falk movie and something clicked in my head. I gotta go make a movie for Peter Falk and me.
3 December 2020 Dimebag Darrell The worst advice I ever received from my dad was to play by the book.
3 December 2020 Jimmy Connors No, like I said, my dad was never really part of the tennis. His involvement around what I did with the tennis and with my mom and my grandparents was really not a part of my life.
3 December 2020 Lisa Guerrero When I found out I got this job, I cried, of course – I’m a girly-girl – and then I called my dad, and he cried, too. On so many levels, this is a thrill for me.
3 December 2020 Michael Reagan You know my father as governor, as president, but I knew him as dad. I was so proud to have the Reagan name and to be Ronald Reagan’s son.
3 December 2020 Miranda Lambert Yeah, my dad bought me a guitar when I was like 10, and I didn’t really want it then.
3 December 2020 T-Pain My dad always told me that anyone’s voice is just another instrument added to the music.
3 December 2020 Rainn Wilson The founder of the Mona Foundation actually knew my dad for years, and the more I learned about it, the more I realized I really found the perfect charity. It sponsors schools and educational initiatives all over the planet.
3 December 2020 Jamie Redknapp I know I’m 25 now, but there’s still that little lad inside me who likes his dad there to see him.
3 December 2020 Gertrude Stein There is too much fathering going on just now and there is no doubt about it fathers are depressing.
3 December 2020 Donald Glover I’m probably going to get in trouble for this but ‘American Dad’ is one of my favourite shows. It gets very dark in places but the jokes are there.
3 December 2020 Greg Kinnear My grandfather had two boys, my uncle had three boys, my dad had me and my two brothers, each of my brothers have had two boys. Then something happened with the chromosomal experiment and suddenly I’ve got three girls.
3 December 2020 Larry Elder If anybody had a reason to become a delinquent, to become a criminal, to be angry at the man, to be angry at the white man, to be angry at America, it’s my dad, but he did not feel that way at all.
3 December 2020 Lucy Alibar My dad, like many Southern men, is this very emotionally expressive person who isn’t as articulate in words about his feelings as he is with breaking a chair or something like that.
3 December 2020 Mindy Kaling My dad’s whole family is in Madras and I was born in America so we didn’t have that big Indian community. I don’t really have anything interesting to say about it. When I talk about it people are like, ‘meh, let’s talk about something else.’
3 December 2020 Charlie Sheen Dad almost died of a heart attack in the middle of making Apocalypse Now, the biggest movie of his life. It doesn’t make you want to jump into that business.
3 December 2020 Alastair Campbell My dad, Donald, was a vet and had a practice in Yorkshire. Cats and dogs were his bread and butter, but his greatest love was large animals.
3 December 2020 Shaun White We all started snowboarding in the beginning as a family just to be closer together, go on trips. It was our soccer, but instead of Dad yelling at me from the sideline he is there riding with me and hitting the jumps even before I am hitting them.
3 December 2020 Emily Mortimer My dad had this philosophy that if you tell children they’re beautiful and wonderful then they believe it, and they will be. So I never thought I was unattractive. But I was never one of the girls at school who had lots of boyfriends.
3 December 2020 Glenn Frey I’m just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living.
3 December 2020 Ronnie Dunn I get around OK with a toolbox. As a kid, I picked up skills following my dad through the oil fields of Oklahoma and West Texas. My wife Janine is hard to impress, but she does think it’s cool when I fix things around the house.
3 December 2020 Rod Stewart I shouldn’t have got married. My dad told me. I was 35 and I got married. He said, ‘You’re too young to be married’. ‘What? I’m 35’. Said, ‘You’re far too young. You haven’t lived yet’. He was right, bless him, thanks, Dad.
3 December 2020 Peter Agre We always had lutefisk for Christmas dinner, after which Dad read from the Norwegian Bible.
3 December 2020 Jason Gann My dad was in the army so we moved around a lot and I changed schools every year and had to make new friends, and I found that if I was the funny guy I could do that easier.
