Text Quotes
I sought my father in the world of the black musician, because it contained wisdom, experience, sadness and loneliness. I was not ever interested in the music of boys. From my youngest years, I was interested in the music of men  (My Father Quotes) I grew up looking at my father as to how to behave. In watching him I grasped so many things. His own temperament was of a calm person. He was very composed and I never saw anger in him. To me, that was fascinating  (My Father Quotes) My father was an immigrant who literally walked across Europe to get out of Russia. He fought in World War I. He was wounded in action. My father was a great success even though he never had money. He was a very determined man, a great role model  (My Father Quotes) I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb and Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together  (My Father Quotes) I think that people don't know how to do anything anymore. My father was a janitor.

Today, if you ask people what they know, they say, 'I know how to hire someone.'  (My Father Quotes) I would have been completely brainwashed by this lopsided and racist view of the world if it weren't for my father. He was a deep thinker and an irrepressible problem solver. He was a Black Socrates, asking why and then spoiling ready-made replies  (My Father Quotes) My father always taught by telling stories about his experiences. His lessons were about morality and art and what insects and birds and human beings had in common. He told me what it meant to be a man and to be a Black man. He taught me about love and responsibility, about beauty, and how to make gumbo  (My Father Quotes) My father's life was so decimated by his earliest experiences. His mother died when he was 7 years old, which he always said was the worst experience in his life. When he was 8, his father disappeared and he was on his own from the age of 8  (My Father Quotes) The thing that influenced me most in relation to 'Nanny McPhee' were the Westerns I watched with my father. all the Spaghetti Westerns; all the Virginians; all the High Chaparrals. Because if you think about the form, it's a stranger from out of town  (My Father Quotes) We made no inquiries about India or about the families people had left behind. When our ways of thinking had changed, and we wished to know, it was too late. I know nothing of the people on my father's side; I know only that some of them came from Nepal  (My Father Quotes) I would say my biggest mentor has been my father because he always has been. Actually both of my parents have always been ones to encourage me to be myself and stay true to myself and not fall into what other people want me to do  (My Father Quotes) I just thank my father and mother, my lucky stars, that I had the advantage of an education in the humanities  (My Father Quotes) My father wasn't around when I was a kid, and I used to always say, 'why me? why don't I have a father? why isn't he around? why did he leave my mother?' But as I got older I looked deeper and thought, 'I don't know what my father was going through, but if he was around all the time, would I be who I am today?  (My Father Quotes) I think my father would have liked to have been an artist, actually. But I think he didn't quite have perhaps the drive or, I don't know, I mean he had a family to bring up I suppose  (My Father Quotes) My father was strict, but he recognised my ability and got a lot of flak from the church for supporting me  (My Father Quotes) My father was a carpenter, a very good carpenter. He also worked for the Jones boys. They were not family members, we weren't related at all. They started the policy racket in Chicago, and they had the five and dime store  (My Father Quotes) Or ere I could give him that parting kiss which I had set betwixt two charming words - comes in my father, and like the tyrannous breathing of the north shakes all our buds from growing  (My Father Quotes) My father, Abe, was a small businessman. For 32 years, he ran an exterminating company. That may explain why our family always associated the smell of roach spray with love  (My Father Quotes) I'll leave my son my virtuous deeds behind; and would my father had left me no more! For all the rest is held at such a rate, as brings a thousandfold more care to keep, than in possession any jot of pleasure  (My Father Quotes) I've always taken my love of children from my father. He was a children magnet. Suddenly, having my first child hit home what my dad went through  (My Father Quotes) Some people think my father was a spy, because of working for that government agency in Vietnam, but he can't find his car keys, much less keep a national secret  (My Father Quotes) As I go to sleep I remember what my father said - that one can never be sure if one will awake. The way my health is now, this is becoming more and more real  (My Father Quotes) My father was Catholic, my mother was Protestant, and because of that I got Christened in both churches, so I've got all these names. But my Dad always called me Mick  (My Father Quotes) I have been surrounded by artists and paintings throughout my life. My father Ted Dyer is an artist, and from a very early age I have spent time painting and drawing  (My Father Quotes) My father fell really chronically ill when I was 13 and that's when I phoned up an agent and started to act  (My Father Quotes) I was 37 when my father died - and I no longer had any freedom of choice over what I would do with the rest of my life  (My Father Quotes) I surrendered to a world of my imagination, reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader, especially history and Shakespeare  (My Father Quotes) My father worked at the Naval Ordnance Lab, and they had a nine-hole course on the property. You paid a quarter  (My Father Quotes) I started playing golf when I was a kid, because across the street from where we lived there was a little nine-hole golf course where my father worked  (My Father Quotes) When I was born... the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father...
