3 December 2020 Chaske Spencer I remember my dad, who coached football, would buy some of his players football shoes when they couldn’t afford it.
3 December 2020 Jeremy Sisto I’m a dad now and whatever I’m doing in life I usually put a lot of effort into it – usually too much effort, so it kind of comes off ridiculous at times.
3 December 2020 Ralph Nader I once said to my father, when I was a boy, ‘Dad we need a third political party.’ He said to me, ‘I’ll settle for a second.’
3 December 2020 Curtis Stone Now that I’m a dad, I’m practicing what I call ‘one- handed cooking,’ because I’ve got something more important in my other arm. I’m whipping up lots of frittatas and omelets.
3 December 2020 Gary Numan My dad was a baggage handler at Heathrow and careful with money. He worked hard and had three jobs when I was young. I wish I’d inherited his care for money. Sadly, I’ve grown up to be rather scatty when it comes to finances.
3 December 2020 Sammy Davis, Jr. I wasn’t anything special as a father. But I loved them and they knew it.
3 December 2020 Mireille Enos My dad is this very sensible guy who never let me feel that anything was beyond my station.
3 December 2020 Nate Ruess My dad dragged me to a Bruce Springsteen concert as a kid. It was my first concert, but I fell asleep in the middle. My second concert was Weezer on the ‘Pinkerton’ tour, and ‘Pinkerton’ is the reason why I’m doing this.
3 December 2020 Dinah Shore The best money advice ever given me was from my father. When I was a little girl, he told me, ‘Don’t spend anything unless you have to.’
3 December 2020 Kim Weston Growing up, I didn’t give my grandfather’s photography a second thought. I wasn’t involved in his work, except that I helped my dad print his negatives.
3 December 2020 Boomer Esiason My goal is for Gunnar to outlive me. That’s the way it should be. My dream is for him to be a dad himself one day, so he can find out all the anxiety that kids bring to their dads.
3 December 2020 Branford Marsalis My dad was a musician, it was just what he did, like another guy’s dad drives a meat truck. Our house was normal. We weren’t taken with the fact our dad was a musician.
3 December 2020 Parker Stevenson I wanted my children to have the same exposure to the water I had. My strongest memories of Northeast Harbor are going in a small Whaler with my dad, looking for osprey.
3 December 2020 James Belushi I don’t know if there is a gene for comedy, but my dad was a very funny man. He just didn’t know it. He was a naturally funny character, and when my brother and I would laugh at things he said and did, he would say, ‘What do you think is so funny?’
3 December 2020 Dawn French It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life.
3 December 2020 Thomas Jane My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.
3 December 2020 Kim Kardashian I feel lazy when I’m not working. I learned all my business sense from my dad. He always believed in me, and I think the last thing he said to me before he passed away was, ‘I know you’re gonna be OK. I’m not worried about you’.
3 December 2020 Claude Nicollier I would say the most help I got was from my dad. My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he’s 90 years old now, so he’s no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
3 December 2020 Dhani Harrison ‘Keep your head down at school.’ Those are sage words from my dad. They kept me in check for years.
3 December 2020 Jason Ritter I knew I really made it when my dad saw me in London and after the performance he had no notes to me and just said ‘You are doing your own thing and I am proud of you.’
3 December 2020 Ray Liotta The Rat Pack was the piece that really kicked me out of that little funk that I was in and then Ted called me up and asked me if I wanted to be the dad in Blow.
3 December 2020 Taryn Manning As a brother and sister, our tastes were pretty different growing up. He liked a lot of early hip hop. My dad didn’t understand it and would try to talk him out of it.
3 December 2020 Tom Brady We all have experiences in our lives that change us, and we all learn from people, like my dad, but at the end of the day, it’s only us. And we’re only responsible to make ourselves happy.
3 December 2020 Venus Williams It wasn’t like I was self-motivated. My dad started me. It was his dream before it was mine.
3 December 2020 Halle Berry I know that I will never find my father in any other man who comes into my life, because it is a void in my life that can only be filled by him.
3 December 2020 Richard Russo My dad had this rock hard body and would work 12- to 13-hour days. The guys he worked with were scrap-iron guys. Nobody on that road crew had read a book in 10 years, but there was something about the way they lived I really admired.
