3 December 2020 Taryn Manning My dad was a musician and I traveled around with him, so it was something that I knew.
3 December 2020 Nicole Kidman I’m not sure what the future holds but I do know that I’m going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said ‘Nic, it is what it is, it’s not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.’
3 December 2020 Eric San If you met my dad, I think a lot of things would be put to rest. Because my pops is a pretty silly guy. But, Coldcut, they’re based in the U.K. I’m a big fan of jazz music, so American music has had a big influence on what I listen to.
3 December 2020 Kevin Eubanks Dad made it to Gold Shield Detective, so he always busted Robin, my oldest brother, and me. Always got caught, whatever we were doing.
3 December 2020 Chris O'Donnell I am an obsessive garage cleaner – my wife and the neighbors make fun of me. I remember that my father was the same way, and now when I’m out there unearthing things in the garage, I realize I am becoming my dad!
3 December 2020 Curtis Joseph I love my hockey, but if you can do that and go home and just be a dad and husband, then you have the best of both worlds.
3 December 2020 Kenny Loggins We busted a lot of family secrets with this. But to make a long story short, my parents relationship was built heavily on security issues for my Mom, and when my Dad couldn’t provide security, the relationship unraveled.
3 December 2020 Eric Bana I hate being clean-shaven. My daughter gets very upset if I shave and says, ‘Bring back the spikes, Dad.’
3 December 2020 David Alan Grier When I was a kid, I wanted to walk with my dad’s limp – my dad was my hero – but that infuriated him, and he would make me walk back and forth in the living room until I walked without it.
3 December 2020 Hugh Jackman Now I meditate twice a day for half an hour. In meditation, I can let go of everything. I’m not Hugh Jackman. I’m not a dad. I’m not a husband. I’m just dipping into that powerful source that creates everything. I take a little bath in it.
3 December 2020 Clive Owen I go off and make movies I come home, and I’m a dad and I hang with my girls.
3 December 2020 Levon Helm Dad and mom would have preferred that I be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, or a great humanitarian.
3 December 2020 Glen Hansard My dad was quiet, angry, shut down. So my thing is: I express everything that’s there. I want to get it all out.
3 December 2020 Jim Evans My dad was a carpenter and I would work with him during the summer and umpire on the nights I wasn’t playing.
3 December 2020 Eleanor Mondale I wanted to be an actress. I think it had a lot to do with being a kid and watching how every time my dad would stand up to talk people would applaud… that was pretty cool.
3 December 2020 Cat Deeley The only time I ever look good dancing is if I’m next to my dad at a wedding.
3 December 2020 David Duchovny One of the scary things is that, when you’re a kid, you look at your dad as the man who has no fear. When you’re an adult, you realize your father had fear, and that you have it, too.
3 December 2020 Colin Hanks Keep in my mind my dad didn’t become a huge, huge mega actor until I was halfway through high school – so right around the time he’s going through his big renaissance is right when I’m starting to do my high school revolting.
3 December 2020 Mary Cheney I’m probably a little more like my dad. But because of my mom, I never saw being a woman as being an impediment to being able to do something. She had her Ph.D. before I was born.
3 December 2020 Christopher Eccleston I know exactly where I’ve come from, I know exactly who my mum and dad are.
3 December 2020 Sara Blakely I grew up in a house where my father encouraged my brother and me to fail. I specifically remember coming home and saying, ‘Dad, Dad, I tried out for this or that and I was horrible,’ and he would high-five me and say, ‘Way to go.’
3 December 2020 George Eliot All the learnin’ my father paid for was a bit o’ birch at one end and an alphabet at the other.
3 December 2020 Ron Wood My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I’ve got two uncles who are in their 90s now.
3 December 2020 Jennifer Weiner People say I’m not good at writing about men. My dad left when I was 16. Give me a break. I’m doing the best I can.
3 December 2020 Michael Chiklis The most challenging part of being a dad is self-restraint. So often your instinct is to teach and tell. I am constantly reminding myself to listen to them.
3 December 2020 Neil Cavuto My dad was a big believer in treating people well, oftentimes even when he himself wasn’t well.
3 December 2020 Jim DeMint One of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad.
