Text Quotes
My dad would always say, ‘Girl, you’ve been given gifts. Use them.’ And what he meant by that was, ‘Don’t just be successful. Don’t just use your talents for your own success. But make a difference with them. Do something significant.’ And when I put those two things together, it just causes me to not accept the status quo  (Dad Quotes) Growing up, you always want to hang with your dad - go fishing or whatever. But my dad was always working, so we never really had time for that. I think I kind of learned to accept it  (Dad Quotes) My dad for a long time was an accounting professor at Rice University. And then he went out on his own, and he got hired by a client. He ended up being CEO of a hospital management company before he retired, called Lifemark  (Dad Quotes) I’ve wanted to follow my dad into acting for as long as I can remember. ‘I’ve had a very serious round of dramatic training, and I like action films that take their characters seriously, so I figure I’m making it the best of both worlds if I try to bring some serious acting to a shoot-‘em-up picture  (Dad Quotes) My dad was always super-active and got me in the gym at a young age. He wanted me to be health-conscious. ‘Healthy body, healthy mind’ that’s what he preached to me.  (Dad Quotes) My dad has a huge vinyl collection downstairs, but I was never too interested. The only CD I had was by Adam Sandler.  (Dad Quotes) Rust’ really started with the passing of my dad, and me really looking back inward to my self about where I stand with all things on a faith/religious/spiritual level. And it’s really put me on this interesting road and very educational, I might add, road back to understanding the role of faith in God and Christ in my life.  (Dad Quotes) How much I wish I could tell you, Dad How much you mean to me.... But there are no words to say How much I admire you... appreciate you... thank you for everything you’ve done. love you Actually, there are I’ve just used them How much I wish you A happy, happy birthday Dad  (Dad Quotes) I’m a lot like my dad: a little bit of a daredevil. I like an adrenaline rush.  (Dad Quotes) My mum is very political - left wing - and my dad was in the advertising business. They were both from the East Coast: Boston and New York City, respectively.  (Dad Quotes) The best advice my dad ever gave me is that acting is believing. Acting is not acting. It isn’t putting on a face and dancing around in a mask. It’s believing that you are that character and playing him as if it were a normal day in the life of that character.  (Dad Quotes) After losing Dad, there was the idea that none of us have forever. It really affects you. It makes you want to live each day as if it’s your last.  (Dad Quotes) My dad encouraged us to fail. Growing up, he would ask us what we failed at that week. If we didn’t have something, he would be disappointed. It changed my mindset at an early age that failure is not the outcome, failure is not trying. Don’t be afraid to fail.  (Dad Quotes) My dad always used to tell me that if they challenge you to an after-school fight, tell them you won’t wait-you can kick their ass right now.  (Dad Quotes) I’ve always wanted to buy a sports car. After the England series, I went up to my dad and said that I wanted to buy a sports car and got his consent. On his birthday, I surprised him by bringing it home. It’s a Porsche Boxter Limited Edition, and my family was thrilled to see it.  (Dad Quotes) We always had lutefisk for Christmas dinner, after which Dad read from the Norwegian Bible  (Dad Quotes) Dad bought me a toy drum one Christmas, and I eventually destroyed it. I wanted a real drum and he bought me a snare drum. Dad continued to buy me one drum after the other.  (Dad Quotes) The way my family always did Christmas was on Christmas Eve, it wasn’t really centered around a dinner on Christmas Eve. It was more about keeping the kids calm. Sometime after dark is when we were going to open all the presents underneath the tree from Mom, Dad and the kids and everything - just the family presents was every Christmas Eve.  (Dad Quotes) Shortly after my dad died, my mom figured that if I could do a few commercials, I’d get a college fund.  (Dad Quotes) I was born in 1968, just eighteen months after my sister Chrisse and just one year after Dad passed the bar exam.  (Dad Quotes) La Mancha is a very macho, chauvinistic society. I saw very clearly that my life had to be in Madrid, and I liberated myself from my mum and dad after high school.  (Dad Quotes) I went to see Dad in hospital after he had gone through one particularly grueling operation. I walked into the room where he was recovering, and he was sitting up in a chair, wearing his shirt and tie. That was after eight hours of surgery. I found that so moving.  (Dad Quotes) My dad was the one who really loved basketball, and he was the one that put the basketball in my hands, and my mom was ‘Team Mom’ of all my teams. I used to play for three or four teams at once and she would just spend her entire afternoon driving me from practice to practice to practice.  (Dad Quotes) My career was about to change radically, in turning 50 I had hit the age where my Dad made a big career and his life started to unravel.  (Dad Quotes) I think I was around 15 when my Dad was 40 and thought, Man he’s old. There’s no way I’ll be skating at that age.  (Dad Quotes) In the summer of 1954, after several years in Austin, Minnesota, our family moved across the state to the small, rural town of Worthington, where my dad became regional manager for a life insurance company. To me, at age 7, Worthington seemed a perfectly splendid spot on the earth.  (Dad Quotes) My mother had very humble beginnings - to put it mildly. Her dad built their home out of timber that he cut down on their land. No heat, no air-conditioning - ‘no foolishness,’ as he would call it.  (Dad Quotes) When I was little, my dad was in the Air Force. He introduced me to Neil Armstrong, and Neil Armstrong signed my moon book. I had a little moon book, which I still have somewhere, and he signed it, and he died. It’s true.  (Dad Quotes) The last time I saw Dad alive, he was in the hospital. He was watching ‘Hell Drivers,’ a crummy B-movie about truckers, on TV and reading the ‘Daily Record.’ This seems scarcely believable, but I actually said, ‘Dad, you’ve not got long to go - don’t you think you should be imbibing the culture a bit more?’  (Dad Quotes) My dad was my hero when I was a young boy. And then it’s a toss-up between Han Solo, the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby team, and Marlon Brando.  (Dad Quotes)
