Dad Quotes

I got my first instrument at Christmas when I was three or four. My dad and mom got me a mandolin. It was the only instrument that fit me because I was so small. I went straight from that into drums when I was six and then started playing guitar when I was seven or eight Picture Quote #1

My mom was a professional fitness competitor, so I go into the gym with her. I train with my dad and mother. It’s embarrassing, because she’s really strong Picture Quote #1

Dad never misses a chance to remind me that whenever we are travelling together, if 100 people mob him for autographs, five approach me Picture Quote #1

My parents got divorced when I was around a year old. My dad was essentially a nonentity in my life until I got to be about 16 or so. My mom was a flight attendant for PanAm, so I moved all over the world. London, Rio de Janeiro Picture Quote #1

My mom was a folk singer and Celtic harpist. My dad was in a barbershop quartet and my great grandma was an opera singer. As I grew up, I discovered pop music and Top 40 radio, but it was in the 90s, so music was very different then - it was really lyrical Picture Quote #1

I remember how my dad was so into herbal solutions and health food well before that stuff became popular Picture Quote #1

I like a lot of food. I like Taiwanese food, of course. I like baguettes, especially the ones that my dad buys. Vancouver has a lot of variety, with pizza, hot dogs, Italian, Indian, seafood - a great combination of culture Picture Quote #1

Dad likes my food, but he probably thinks it’s too busy. He is a wonderful cook but only uses three ingredients. My mum rips out my articles and makes my recipes Picture Quote #1

My mom and dad just loved the fact that I fooled around. They just embraced it. They’d always kind of enjoy it, and they liked it when I made them laugh Picture Quote #1

My brother was the consummate Nebraska boy - the football star who went to the university, was president of his fraternity, hunted with my dad all the time Picture Quote #1

I remember my dad, who coached football, would buy some of his players football shoes when they couldn’t afford it Picture Quote #1

My dad was a Muslim and would pray five times a day. I would pray with him as much as I could, in the morning before school. Sometimes he would tell us moralistic tales about genies, magic carpets and wondrous lands. My mother is not religious - she’s just English Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a karmic purpose that souls make before they decide to come into people’s bodies and become someone’s parent, or become someone’s child. Maybe my dad disappearing was his way of giving me material with which to work, or a predisposition to feel heightened emotions Picture Quote #1

If a cow walked into this room, I’d probably walk out. I could milk it, but my dad never forced me to do a lot of chores like that, mostly because he loved doing it himself Picture Quote #1

I think I was brought up with an innate sense of responsibility because my dad was in the Foreign Office where you were in somebody else’s country, and you were aware of your behaviour. And my mum worked for the NHS, so you were aware of your responsibility to your country Picture Quote #1

My dad didn’t have a formal education, but he had a wonderful vocabulary. So in ‘Harvest,’ I wanted my main character to be an innately intelligent man who would have the vocabulary to say whatever he wanted in the same way as lots of working-class people can Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a two-bedroom house with my grandfather, my mom and dad and four kids. I slept on the couch or on the floor, and I always wanted to have my own space Picture Quote #1

The first seven years of my life, me, my mom and dad and my four older siblings lived in a suburb of Stockholm, and my mom was very active with directing theater. So I basically grew up at the theater on the floors of the shows, so I was really surrounded with music at a young age Picture Quote #1

I’m from Brooklyn. I grew up very poor- seven people, four rooms. My dad had no education Picture Quote #1

My dad grew up in Pittsburgh in the 50s, and he used to sing Four Seasons songs on the stoop. He made me listen to Cousin Brucie - the guy who broke the Four Seasons on the radio. So I knew all of their songs, but I didn’t know they were all by the same group Picture Quote #1

Once I caught my dad in front of the TV watching a tennis match, and I realized they were tricking us. Poor guy, he had to sneak in a tennis final - probably the French Open Picture Quote #1

My dad worked for different companies that made whiskey for a long time, so we were definitely whiskey drinkers. Growing up, my friends would get toy cars, and I would get swag from whisky companies Picture Quote #1

Most of the time, the lyrics are kind of like my secret messages to my friends or my boyfriend or my mom or my dad. I would never tell them that these songs are about them or which specific lyric is about somebody. Often, when I sit down to write a lyric, it is in the heat of the moment, and something has just happened Picture Quote #1

My dad and I used to do movie marathons when I was a kid at the Chinese Theatre, and I just remember thinking, ‘One day I want to have a movie here’ And then later on, when ‘Save The Last Dance’ premiered there, that was definitely a full circle moment Picture Quote #1

But there’s no substitute for a full-time dad. Dads who are fully engaged with their kids overwhelmingly tend to produce children who believe in themselves and live full lives Picture Quote #1

When I moved out of London 13 years ago, I found a whole other reason not to drive. This was because my new husband Dan, unlike my dad, did drive, and this became a great source of fun and adventure Picture Quote #1

Math was always hard for me, but my dad would come up with ways of making it fun. I remember playing ‘Number Munchers’ on our old Mac... That counts as math class, right? Picture Quote #1

As a youngster, my mother and father always drilled into my head having something to fall back on. My father was kind of funny. I’d score 40 points. I’d come home and say, ‘Look dad, I scored 40.’ He’d never have a smile on his face. He’d be like, ‘I saw that move you did. What if you’d hurt your knee?’ Picture Quote #1

My dad was an interior design and furniture person. I started working with him for four years before my first TV writing break Picture Quote #1

My dad was in radio; he was a broadcaster, and it was in the family. He hosted kind of a game show at one point on TV; he was the original host of ‘Good Day New York,’ and he hosted the Jerry Lewis telethon for 15 years Picture Quote #1
