Dad Quotes

There’s a lot of wisdom that my dad and my grandparents and my uncle have been able to impart on me, and what I’ve treasured the most is I’ve seen examples in my life of people embracing their creativity, not feeling insecure about their artistic inclinations Picture Quote #1

I think I’m extremely vulnerable and that in some ways I seek out rejection. Never feeling like you’re getting that pat on the back from dad is probably at the heart of that Picture Quote #1

It’s like my characters, all my men are Dad and me in a mess; all my female characters are smart and hopeful, like Mom just trying to make the best of things Picture Quote #1

My dad was always such a frustrated artist. He always worked very hard to support his family, doing a bunch of ridiculous jobs. He wanted to be a painter, but then he also wrote science-fiction novels in his spare time Picture Quote #1

My dad told me, ‘It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success’, and it took me seventeen and a half years Picture Quote #1

When I was fifteen years old, my dad won a video camera in a corporate golf tournament. I snatched it from his closet and began filming skateboard videos with my friends Picture Quote #1

My dad spent his whole life getting into fights for telling what he believed to be the truth. Basically it comes from my dad-and he’s screaming right-wing, so there you are Picture Quote #1

I had to figure out my own faith. That was something I figured out a while ago when I was 18. But I can always stand on the fact that my dad has been a great example for me. Beyond that, building my career hasn’t been attached to my dad. It’s been me figuring things out for myself Picture Quote #1

Humans have voids, and you need things to fill voids... I didn’t have a dad to fill that male model void, so when I heard Eminem or freaking seen Dave Chapelle, that’s what I gravitated to Picture Quote #1

I wanted to stay in New York to pursue acting, but my dad urged me to get a four-year degree. Reading about the film school at Florida State University, he suggested I go there. I received my bachelor’s degree in 2003 Picture Quote #1

I think I’m a good dad. It’s hard. Ultimately, it’s our kids that have the final word. So we’ll have to ask them Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I had this duality growing up with my dad being a strict Catholic and his brother being a priest and my mother finding God in nature, so I’ve taken a little from both [traditions] Picture Quote #1

My dad was president of the volunteer fire department, which was within walking distance to our house. I spent several days of each week there with him - any time the whistle blew, he went. It was truly inspiring to watch him lead that way Picture Quote #1

The truth is, my dad was a great driver. I mean, he could handle an automobile. He loved speed. He used to joke that his one regret was he didn’t join the volunteer fire service so he could drive the ambulance Picture Quote #1

I have loved music so much from when I was little, and I don’t know whether it was because I saw my dad doing it and then I got the idea; I don’t know what came first... But I always had a hairbrush in the mirror singing. I was always with him backstage; I would go out and be pulled in for the last song Picture Quote #1

My dad took me to the racetrack for the first time when I was 2 or 3... Anything with a motor, that was in my blood Picture Quote #1

My family calls me Declan. But most people call me E.C. I think it comes from my dad. It’s an Irish convention. You usually call the first child by the initials Picture Quote #1

Now my dad is with me, traveling with me and a big part of this whole thing is I like to mix it up a little bit, you know. Who gets to take their father on a private jet across the country and stay in first class hotels? So we’re enjoying it, but I’d stop if it’s not possible Picture Quote #1

You might be a redneck if on your first date you had to ask your Dad to borrow the keys to the tractor Picture Quote #1

My dad worked in a very typical first-generation immigrant fashion - 24 hours a day for years Picture Quote #1

For a long time I wanted to do the kind of work my dad did. He was going to ask his foreman at the mill to put me on after I graduated. So I worked at the mill for about six months. But I hated the work and knew from the first day I didn’t want to do that for the rest of my life Picture Quote #1

Right now, it hasn’t affected my music other than the fact that I don’t have time to write any of it. That’s no different from when I first started and I lived at home. I would play the guitar in the afternoon and then my mom or my dad would come home and I’d have to quit Picture Quote #1

I think when I was about 12 or 13, my dad started taking me out to the local golf course, and that’s the first time I ever hit a golf ball. I picked it up pretty quickly, just kind of monkey-see, monkey-do. But when I was 12, golf was so slow to me. For me, it was basketball, girls and music Picture Quote #1

I got into music when I was a little boy. My dad was always into jazz. I got my education from him. The first time I listened to jazz, he gave me a Thelonious Monk record. It was so different from anything I had ever heard. It took me a while to understand it, and I liked that. I liked the fact that it wasn’t immediately palatable Picture Quote #1

My dad was fiscally conservative, and I was influenced by that. He didn’t believe in spending more than you had because it gets you into trouble Picture Quote #1

I grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida. My dad took me hunting, trapping and fishing when I was a kid Picture Quote #1

My dad is very successful in his business. He’s always been big in having hobbies and having little ways to get away. He always made time for hunting and fishing. He always encouraged me to do it Picture Quote #1

I’m so lucky that ‘The Vampire Diaries’ happened. I’m so lucky that Warner Bros. pays me money. You have no idea. I should be on a fishing boat with my dad Picture Quote #1

I’ve traveled all over. I’ve been to all 50 states. With my dad in the Navy, I lived in the Philippines from nine to 12, and I had dog, monkey, lizard, everything. Then I was in Hawaii, and I’m spear-fishing, catching octopus with my hands Picture Quote #1
