3 December 2020 Kurt Busch This is like my dad’s race team where we had one Legend car. If we wrecked it, we couldn’t race the next week unless we had enough parts to put it back together again.
3 December 2020 Jack Osbourne If I have a problem, stuff’s going through my head, I feel like using, I usually go and talk to my dad… I decided to get sober a lot younger than he did. He first tried to get sober when he was like 32, I believe.
3 December 2020 Melissa George From about eight years old I was always making things on the sewing machine. Friends would see me making dresses and costumes, and I’d use difficult fabrics such as Lycra and elastic. But you know, my dad was creative and my brother is inventive too.
3 December 2020 Pete Rose My father taught me that the only way you can make good at anything is to practice, and then practice some more.
3 December 2020 Bill Kreutzmann My dad loved black singers. So listening to New Orleans music, eventually I wanted to play an instrument.
3 December 2020 Patrick Duffy I feel that marrying younger and being quite a young dad helped me with the stability of my career.
3 December 2020 Meg White That’s what my Dad always told me, on the ballot, they should always have a third choice, like none of the above, then if enough people picked that, they’d have to get new candidates.
3 December 2020 Joe Biden My dad always said, ‘Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.’
3 December 2020 Leona Lewis My dad is such a good man. You know how when you are a child you think your dad is invincible? Well, I still think that – he is so wise and everything I do I ask my dad’s advice about first.
3 December 2020 Lisa Loeb Although my dad was a doctor, we weren’t necessarily a super-artsy family. We were just a classic, traditional family who got to take a lot of piano lessons and became a bunch of musicians.
3 December 2020 Marilyn Manson My dad loves what I do and I support my parents financially because they didn’t have a job that gave them a pension.
3 December 2020 Jordin Sparks I was always okay with the fact that I was taller and bigger than everybody else growing up. My mom, my dad, and my friends always told me I was beautiful.
3 December 2020 Sally Hawkins I remember once giving my dad some drawings and writings and said, ‘If you could just give these to the publisher, that would be great.’ And I was about five!
3 December 2020 Moon Unit Zappa My Dad was so open creatively that I was off in search of black turtleneck bathing suits with long sleeves.
3 December 2020 Tom Bosley Being a father to my family and a husband is to me much more important than what I did in the business.
3 December 2020 Jessica Simpson I can talk to my dad like he’s my manager, and put ‘Dad’ on the back burner. We’ve been doing it since I was 13.
3 December 2020 Philip Seymour Hoffman To be fair to my dad, he is one of the brightest men I’ve ever met.
3 December 2020 Yani Tseng When I was 7, my dad asked his friend to teach me. I played my first tournament competition when I was 8. I remember I shot around 125.
3 December 2020 David Rudisha I realised I could run after finding out that my dad used to run and it gave me the morale that if he did it then maybe I could also run.
3 December 2020 Bono Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today.
3 December 2020 Ornette Coleman I remember once, we got an interview, and he said, ‘Dad, these people are writing about me like I’m an adult. Don’t they know I’m a kid?’ I have never tried to encourage him to get a music image like other musicians have.
3 December 2020 Randy Harrison Dad said that he was prouder of me than he’d ever been when I came out.
3 December 2020 Shakira I think my dad is the only Arabic descendent who is an unsuccessful businessman.
3 December 2020 Mike Weir The only other time I can recall my dad getting upset at me was when I missed a hockey practice. My parents were away, so my buddy and I decided to skip it. I never told my dad about it, but he found out from the coach.
3 December 2020 Dhani Harrison You can’ t help being a musician because you’ve grown up with music, yet being one means being compared to your dad and being slated for it. But I really don’t have the ambitions of most people going into the industry.
3 December 2020 Tom Hardy Being an only child, I didn’t have any other family but my mom and dad really, since the rest of my family lived quite far away from London.
3 December 2020 Mark Hoppus Parents don’t understand kids and kids don’t understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.
