Text Quotes
My father once told me that a happy ending is just the place where you choose to stop telling the story. So this is where I choose to stop. More things are still going to happen, of course, some good, some bad. Some things never get any better. When people die they stay dead. None of us knows why we love, or why we stop loving, or why everyone we love we lose  (My Father Quotes) I saw behind me those who had gone, and before me those who are to come. I looked back and saw my father, and his father, and all our fathers, and in front to see my son, and his son, and the sons upon sons beyond. And their eyes were my eyes  (My Father Quotes) My father was an absolutely wonderful human being. From him I learned to always assume positive intent. Whatever anybody says or does, assume positive intent  (My Father Quotes) My father was always in good spirits, he loved football. It makes me a bit sad because if he could enjoy seeing me now, what I have achieved, that would be a highlight in his life. But I’m sure that he watches over me from above  (My Father Quotes) Growing up the son of a director has made me very aware of the various turns that a directing career can take. Sometimes your films turn out exactly as you want. Sometimes they don’t. I spent a lot of my childhood on sets. I think as a joke, my father gave me a line of dialogue in each of his films during the worst moments of my puberty  (My Father Quotes) I’ve never had a sense of entitlement. I saw how hard my father worked for his money, and it was always made very clear to me that things wouldn’t just be given to me  (My Father Quotes) The way my father raised me, we don’t pat ourselves on the back. We don’t call ourselves great, we let other people do that  (My Father Quotes) I wanted to be an actor ever since I got on stage for the first time, aged 13. Before that, I thought I might follow in the medical footsteps of my parents: my father was a doctor, my mother a pharmacist  (My Father Quotes) I’m estranged from my father and that relationship, as a young man, is incredibly important. It’s probably responsible for the man I’ve become  (My Father Quotes) My father was the funniest guy I ever met. I’m not sure if I stole his stuff or if I inherited it  (My Father Quotes) I never really learned the value of money. My father didn’t spoil me, but I think my grandparents did  (My Father Quotes) Life is precious, and when someone dies it’s an opportunity to realise how precious it is. My brother drowned when I was 17. He was 15. I think I grew from that. My father didn’t. It really crushed him  (My Father Quotes) My father had a very simple view of life: you don’t get anything for nothing. Everything has to be earned, through work, persistence and honesty. My father also had a deep charm, the gift of winning our trust. He was the kind of man with whom many people dream of spending an evening  (My Father Quotes) My father is a great grandfather. He’s a wonderful grandfather, but he’s a terrible husband  (My Father Quotes) From my mother came the idea that going down to the sea repaired the spirit. That is where she walked when she was sad or worried or lonely for my father. If she had been crying, she came back composed; if she had left angry with us, she returned in good humor. So we naturally believed that there was a cleansing, purifying effect to be had; that letting the fresh wind blow through you mind and spirits as well as your hair and clothing purged black thoughts; that contemplating the ceaseless motion of the waves calmed a raging spirit  (My Father Quotes) I was a very good baseball and football player, but my father always told me I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. There’s great truth in that  (My Father Quotes) I write in order to express what the photo itself cannot say. A photograph of my father doesn’t tell me what I thought of him, which for me is much more important than what the man looked like  (My Father Quotes) My father, the practical joker, did not care for practical jokes on himself; he did not encourage the practice in me  (My Father Quotes) At home we didn’t talk about religion. So gradually the question faded away by itself and disappeared from the agenda. When I was nineteen my father died; my response to his death was atheistic  (My Father Quotes) I was lucky. My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old  (My Father Quotes) My father was an artist. When life was harder and he couldn’t get jobs, he painted houses, but he was artistic. When I went to see his work, it was special. Somewhere along the line, I felt I was special. I didn’t know why  (My Father Quotes) One of my great values that my father intuited, and indirectly taught me, is that you should always have a plan but be open to opportunity  (My Father Quotes) My father has been a voice of encouragement in times of desperation for so many people. But he died when I was so young that, for me, his music has been a way for me to get to know him better  (My Father Quotes) My father belonged to a commune, and the food was ghastly. My idea of food hell is the salad cream they’d pour all over bits of lettuce, cucumber and tomato. It was just disgusting  (My Father Quotes) My father is the jailhouse. My father is your system... I am only what you made me. I am only a reflection of you  (My Father Quotes) Even as a feminist, my whole life I’d been waiting for a man to love, who could love me. For decades, I’d thought that man would be my father. When I was 25, I met that man and he was my brother  (My Father Quotes) My father owned pit bulls when I was young. He sometimes fought them. My brother and a lot of the men in my community owned pit bulls as well: sometimes they fought them for honor, never for money  (My Father Quotes) I was a very defiant child, and my father encouraged that. He wanted me to be as wild and creative as possible and didn’t believe in disciplining children  (My Father Quotes) My father taught me things about body language that psychologists have been catching up with ever since. He always knew when I was lying, because my posture was all wrong  (My Father Quotes) My father, to whom I owe so much, never told me the difference between right and wrong; now I think that’s why I remain so greatly in his debt  (My Father Quotes)
