Dad Quotes

My dad keeps joking about sneaking into my grandparents’ house and switching out their HBO for PBS so they think I’m on ‘Downton Abbey.’ Picture Quote #1

The first time my mum and dad went to the theatre was at my drama school in third year Picture Quote #1

My life isn’t that dramatic. My dad really loves me, he just can’t talk on the phone. He’s too crippled and shy, and that’s almost harder. He’s there and he loves me, and I try and try and try, it’s just impossible to have a relationship Picture Quote #1

I loved the theatre-my dad gave me many plays and books to read. The dramatic form just spoke to me Picture Quote #1

My dream was to grow up and get a job at IBM, like my dad. That seemed like a logical dream Picture Quote #1

I can go without make-up and go fishing with my dad; other times, I buy pink shoes and shop for dresses Picture Quote #1

Dad was just an emotional wreck. He was drinking a lot of the time, he was smoking a lot of pot. And because he takes certain medications, the drinking was making him... you know, he wasn’t even present, really Picture Quote #1

I am self taught. My dad threw me in with a drum set at the age of four and I figured it out! Picture Quote #1

Remember when you’re young and you think your dad is Superman? And then you grow up and realized he’s just a drunk who wears a cape Picture Quote #1

Every weekend, I would get the drunk driving lecture. Of course, Dad drank and drove all the time. I guess it wasn’t a lecture; it was helpful tips from the master Picture Quote #1

My dad has a dry, deadpan sense of humor, and my mom has an unexpected, wacky take on things. They really encouraged laughing at ourselves and the weirdness of situations that come up growing up in politics Picture Quote #1

I love my dad. He used to walk around the whole neighborhood and collect old furniture and fix it, like MacGyver with duct tape. One time, he brought a television home. I said, ‘Damn, that TV has 500 channels.’ When I got older, it didn’t have 500 channels - it was a knob from the oven. My favorite channel was 300 degrees Picture Quote #1

Religion was quite a thing in our house - we were Baptists. Some Sundays I went to church three times. If there was a talk on missionary work in the afternoon, I could be there all bloody day. But religion took its first big knock after Dad died Picture Quote #1

The closer you get to death, the more alive you feel. Dylan Thomas wrote, Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. My dad always taught me to live like that. Dad wrote a poem too. It goes, Dune buggies. Woohoo! Picture Quote #1

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It’s either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it’s Colin Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to write comic books, my earliest memories are of waiting for Dad to come home from work, and, secreted in his lawyer’s leather briefcase, would be comics from the store Picture Quote #1

My dad moved to London in his early 20s and didn’t really go back. So the irony is I’ve spent lots and lots of time in Ireland, but not with my dad. I’ve shot films in Belfast, where he’s from. And I’ve shot in Dun Laoghaire. Which is great. And I’ve shot in Dublin Picture Quote #1

My dad, he worked rebar, an ironworker. Watching my pops get up every single morning, going into work, working hard - I think that really made me want to work that hard, wanted to make me get up early and go for a run or get a lift in or get some extra hitting in and really try to better myself every day Picture Quote #1

I watched my parents. My dad worked nights, and I was aware of how much he was doing for us. My mom was a Tupperware lady and also worked at the school. I always felt that I couldn’t let them down. And I had a natural discipline from early on. I was always training for something Picture Quote #1

My dad was a congressman, and he taught me at a very early age, ‘They voted for me, they view me as theirs, and I am.’ Our family’s phone in Memphis was always listed. It rang all day and all night Picture Quote #1

My dad has a lot of foresight and decided that I would not do any shows in Mumbai till I became a singer and got to sing my own songs. He knew that if I started earning money from shows, I would not have the time and aggression to rough it out to become a singer Picture Quote #1

Between my mom and dad, I would hear a lot of Earth, Wind, and Fire. My mom loved Chaka Khan, so that was on in the car a lot Picture Quote #1

I’ll paddle board, swim in the ocean, roll in the sand, soak up the sun, eat good food, be with friends and family and go fishing with my dad Picture Quote #1

I remember tap-dancing and singing in front of the TV when I was a kid, telling my dad to stop watching Ed Sullivan or Milton Berle and watch me Picture Quote #1

Nobody had books at home. My dad was a very educated person, so he would have books at home. All Spanish books. That helped. Most of my homies had no books at home Picture Quote #1

My dad told me this: You get out of it what you put into it. If you put in effort and log your time, you’ll get the results Picture Quote #1

I never believed in pushing my kids. My dad was very unhappy I wasn’t going to be a doctor, but I couldn’t stand to see the sight of blood. And I wanted to be a lawyer since I was in seventh or eighth grade Picture Quote #1

Life itself has so much politics, why should I make it my profession? I’m just a politician’s son, not a politician myself. Two politicians, that’s my dad and elder brother, in the family are enough. I’m happy doing my own stuff in Bollywood Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be a senator from Illinois. I was obsessed with politics. My dad was friends with a lot of local politicians, so I would hang out with them on Election Day and hand out buttons. Somehow, even though they were opposite, I loved Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. I thought they were the coolest guys! Picture Quote #1

My brother and I were born in an Irish county called Tipperary. We were both very math- and science-inclined in high school. My dad trained as an electrical engineer, and my mom is in microbiology Picture Quote #1
