3 December 2020 Kim Wilde Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.
3 December 2020 Katherine Jenkins If you love somebody, you love them. My parents had a 25-year age gap between them and my mum was the breadwinner, my dad the house husband. I’m a strong believer that a good relationship can work, whatever the situation.
3 December 2020 Harry Connick, Jr. Well, my dad was the district attorney of New Orleans for about 30 years.
3 December 2020 Jeb Bush My guess is my brother would call his mom and his dad pretty regularly, a lot more than I probably did.
3 December 2020 Dave Mustaine My mom and dad got divorced when I was very young, and growing up in a family where the head of the household wasn’t a man made a big difference.
3 December 2020 Courteney Cox You know, my mother’s beautiful, my dad was a really handsome man, and there was a lot of talk about looks when I was growing up.
3 December 2020 Abigail Van Buren It is a sad commentary of our times when our young must seek advice and counsel from ‘Dear Abby’ instead of going to Mom and Dad.
3 December 2020 Mike Shinoda My dad remembers being in school with my uncle, and the teacher would say outright to the class that the Japanese were second-class citizens and shouldn’t be trusted.
3 December 2020 Nicole Richie I had lost relationships with my dad, my brother and sister and I was just like, you know what, this is definitely the time to just get it together and so that’s what I did.
3 December 2020 Frank Bruno Mental illness can happen to anybody. You can be a dustman, a politician, a Tesco worker… anyone. It could be your dad, your brother or your aunt.
3 December 2020 Dolph Lundgren My sensei was a British karate champion named Brian Fitkin. He was my mentor and because I had a hard relationship with my dad, he became a father figure to me.
3 December 2020 Carre Otis I was born in 1968, just eighteen months after my sister Chrisse and just one year after Dad passed the bar exam.
3 December 2020 Katherine Jenkins In Heaven, I believe my dad is somewhere doing something nice. I feel I’ve been too lucky to travel this far without somebody guiding me.
3 December 2020 Stacie Orrico Usually a family is led through the mom or the dad and their career and for the family to be led by my career, even though God has led it, could be a lot of pressure.
3 December 2020 Daisy Donovan My dad always said, ‘Don’t worry what people think, because you can’t change it.’
3 December 2020 Elizabeth Gilbert I used to say, ‘Man, I think I’d be a really good dad. I’ll be a great provider. I’m funny I’ll go on trips with them – I’ll do all sorts of stuff.’ But the momming? I’m not made for that. I have a really good mom I know what she put into it.
3 December 2020 Arabella Weir My dad was a diplomat and after living in America, where I was born, he was posted to Cairo.
3 December 2020 David Hyde Pierce My dad had been an actor… not only had my dad been an actor, but his dad had been an actor, and my great-grandfather had been an actor. And who knows before then?
3 December 2020 Diane Lane I was raised by free-spirited people, though my father gave me a very strong work ethic.
3 December 2020 Jaron Lanier My dad has sometimes felt that I grew up a little lacking in sufficient eccentricity – in the sense that I’m willing to live as an adult in a house with walls that are parallel to each other, that sort of thing.
3 December 2020 Harrison Ford I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.
3 December 2020 Dweezil Zappa And, you know, my dad would show me some things sometimes, but the best things that I got to do were to actually see really good players play up close. That gives you an idea of fingering and technique and what not.
3 December 2020 Jack Bruce Some musicians I know are incredible fathers. Like Keith Richards. A fantastic dad.
3 December 2020 Robert Mapplethorpe I would never have done what I’d done if I’d considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.
3 December 2020 Slash I think when I was a kid, and I was in England and it was all about The Stones, The Who, The Kinks and The Beatles and that’s what my dad was into.
3 December 2020 Courtney Love I like all the angels around because they protect me and my daughter. I mean, her Dad’s an angel.
3 December 2020 Eric McCormack Growing up, my father was a financial analyst for an oil company. He was just a regular dad. And when I would say, ‘Hey, come see my play,’ he’d say, ‘Sure.’ He’d see one, ‘Oh, good play’ – you know, very typical dad reaction.
