3 December 2020 David Cassidy I found myself very lost after ‘The Partridge Family,’ and I lost my dad and I lost my manager, and I lived in a bubble, and it took me 15 years to get through that and a lot of psychotherapy, and I’m laughing about it now!
3 December 2020 Al Unser Dad taught me everything I know. Unfortunately, he didn’t teach me everything he knows.
3 December 2020 Tatum O'Neal Things with my dad were pretty good until I won an Academy Award. He was really loving to me until I got more attention than he did. Then he hated me.
3 December 2020 Joel Osteen My dad had a church of 90 people when I was born. It was just, over the years it continued to grow.
3 December 2020 Derek Jeter My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you’re a kid, you want to be just like your dad.
3 December 2020 Jenna Bush I’m more like my father, personality-wise. But my mom and I get alone really well – obviously, because my mom and my dad get along so well.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore Great dad. Yeah, he would ask me for money on birthdays and, you know, inappropriate times. And I just wrote him off like, ‘You’re not a father.’ I just learned you cannot emotionally invest in people who are not attainable.
3 December 2020 Rebecca Hall Whenever I’m in theatre situations I will go out of my way not to talk about my father, but in the film world I can be really proud of my family and say, ‘You know what: my dad’s a really, really famous theatre director,’ because nobody has any idea.
3 December 2020 Nick Clegg I say this as a young dad seeing children going into primary school: I don’t think we should underestimate the formative effect on a child of those first years in primary school.
3 December 2020 Dhani Harrison I did rebel. I was the rebel in my family, because my dad wanted me to go and just travel with him.
3 December 2020 Shannon Elizabeth I wasn’t sure how my dad would react. There was an agent sitting behind them and he told me he was embarrassed to watch the scenes. My parents have always been very open. They trust my decisions.
3 December 2020 Jeff Foxworthy I have never been jealous. Not even when my dad finished fifth grade a year before I did.
3 December 2020 Tina Yothers My parents were involved in everything I did. They were showbiz people themselves. My dad was an actor. They were parents they did what parents are supposed to do.
3 December 2020 Dave Eggers But while mum and dad were incredibly caring, it was also a very chaotic household where everyone fought about everything. So I know what it’s like to internalize all that chaos.
3 December 2020 Dave Mustaine I was always the new kid in school, I’m the kid from a broken family, I’m the kid who had no dad showing up at the father-son stuff, I’m the kid that was using food stamps at the grocery store.
3 December 2020 Hugh Jackman My kids are not that interested in my movie career, by the way. My son, in particular, never talks about it. He just wants me as his dad.
3 December 2020 Steve Sabol My Dad hated his job. He sold overcoats, but he wanted to make movies. He had a failed career working with the Ritz Brothers – they were like the Marx Brothers, only a tier below. I always had a picture in my mind of him in a straw hat.
3 December 2020 Joe Manganiello Also, to be honest, my dad wanted me to be an athlete. And I think all sons want to prove something to their dad. So now, aged 35, I want to see what I can achieve physically.
3 December 2020 Tony Blair My dad was a militant atheist, or is a militant atheist. My mum was sort of bought up in a religious family because she was a Protestant from Ireland but wasn’t especially religious.
3 December 2020 Frank A. Clark A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be.
3 December 2020 Tom Hiddleston Joanna points her camera at a section of society unused to having cameras pointed at it. But I don’t know about categorizing them in terms of class I’m a bit wary of that. My dad is the son of a shipbuilder.
3 December 2020 John Malkovich I’m more comfortable with whatever’s wrong with me than my father was whenever he felt he failed or didn’t measure up to the standard he set.
3 December 2020 Drake Me and my dad are friends. We’re cool. I’ll never be disappointed again, because I don’t expect anything anymore from him. I just let him exist, and that’s how we get along.
3 December 2020 Herbie Hancock But I have to be careful not to let the world dazzle me so much that I forget that I’m a husband and a father.
3 December 2020 Cynthia Nixon In a school where everyone is famous or rich or whatever, you have a culture, ‘What does your dad do?’ ‘What does your mom do?’
3 December 2020 Patrick Swayze I like to believe that I’ve got a lot of guardian warriors sittin’ on my shoulder including my dad.
3 December 2020 Candace Parker On my best days, such as when I was a junior in high school coming off a 42-point performance and near triple-double, my dad was there to tell me I haven’t arrived yet and bring me back to reality.
