Text Quotes
I let my boy go and do and say pretty much as he likes, as, and perhaps because, my father kept no string on me  (My Father Quotes) The corncob was the central object of my life. My father was a horse handler, first trotting and pacing horses, then coach horses, then work horses, finally saddle horses. I grew up around, on, and under horses, fed them, shoveled their manure, emptied the mangers of corncobs  (My Father Quotes) My father’s death from prostate cancer in 1993 was tragic. He never complained about pain. He was a fighter. By the time he was ready to die he wasn’t able to die in the way that he wanted to, which seemed an outrage to me  (My Father Quotes) Like most men, my father is interested in action. And this is why he disappoints my mother when she tells him she doesn’t feel well and he offers to take her to the doctor. He is focused on what he can do, whereas she wants sympathy  (My Father Quotes) I have irrational fears, and they all go back to losing my father as a kid. I’ve never gotten over it  (My Father Quotes) My father was a really funny guy. He lived a good long life. And he was the reason I wanted to be funny and become a comedian and a comedy writer, so to say that he’s somewhat of a mythic figure in my life would be an understatement  (My Father Quotes) Of course, my father was a soccer player. He used to play very good. Then, when I was young, eight or nine years old, ten years old, I just want to be like my father  (My Father Quotes) My father was overbearing. Very controlling. He was always the way he is, even before my success. He was not always a good person. He’d play mind games to make sure I knew my place. I don’t see him, which is unfortunate. But I don’t have any desire to see him. I vaguely know where he is, and I don’t want to know  (My Father Quotes) My mother went to university, my father didn’t. But they are very educated, very wise people. My father went to the military, so he’s worldly  (My Father Quotes) My aunty says I’m the double of my father. He was a workaholic, which I’ve definitely inherited. And like me, he could be the life and soul of the party, but also quite withdrawn  (My Father Quotes) I come from an acting family, my father was an actor, and I had to fight my way and just create my own identity  (My Father Quotes) My father is a university professor so when the schools needed a little kid for their productions I was often the kid they used. The first time I was ever on stage was about 2nd grade  (My Father Quotes) I learned construction and carpentry from my father at a young age, so I felt very comfortable and I felt very satisfied when I worked in that field  (My Father Quotes) My father is the reason I am the way I am today. He’s why I acted up and he’s why I prayed to be the opposite of him. We made up before he died but I vowed to never raise my kids like how he raised me  (My Father Quotes) There was never any pressure on me to go into the business, but I was always aware of it. I’d go on the set with my father and he and my mother would always be singing  (My Father Quotes) Think of your pension and start saving. Like my father, I have been a spendthrift, and I regret that  (My Father Quotes) My father had his own business, a clothing store, which he inherited from his father. He travelled abroad frequently and was quite extravagant, so we had skiing holidays and summer holidays on the beach  (My Father Quotes) My one complaint with my father as a parent is that, not only was he not a golfer, but also he was sort of opposed to golf. I was a country club kid growing up. I should have played golf, but my father thought golf was a sport for old men  (My Father Quotes) Nobody ever worked as hard as my father. My father averaged maybe four hours of sleep at night, and when you’re a kid, you don’t realize that  (My Father Quotes) If you put the talent of all my brothers together, they wouldn’t add up to the talent that was in my father  (My Father Quotes) My father always told me I should be a writer, and I found I loved writing my autobiography; writing is such an interesting process  (My Father Quotes) Why should I ever get fed up talking about my father? He was a brilliant, colorful man who left us with thousands of memories. Most people remember his films, but I’ve got anecdotes and advice and episodes of real life tucked away inside my head  (My Father Quotes) I was very empty after my father passed away. It was an emotional time, as it would be for anyone, but to be in the studio every day was kind of cathartic and healing and it just seemed very natural to continue  (My Father Quotes) My father was a civil servant, so having a regular job, being respectable is a big deal for me. Respectable in the sense that I support my family. That’s what I mean by respectability  (My Father Quotes) I’ve only ever chosen men who happen to spend a lot of time out of the country, who have jobs that take them all over the world, and I think that’s interesting because my father was absent, and then home, and I’ve always been in relationships where there’s separation  (My Father Quotes) I have that memory of dancing on my father’s feet to all the music my parents used to listen to  (My Father Quotes) Across the board, from my mother to my father to my aunts and uncles, everybody has always given me a lot of love  (My Father Quotes) My father taught me photography. It was his hobby, and we had a small darkroom in the fruit cellar of our basement. It was the kind of makeshift darkroom that was only dark at night  (My Father Quotes) I think that the best way to explain that is that my mother gave me all the color and character and flare and liveliness, and my father gave me all the sanity and nature and all the things that helped me be a more rounded human being  (My Father Quotes) My father was a man of great charity towards the poor, and compassion for the sick, and also for servants; so much so, that he never could be persuaded to keep slaves, for he pitied them so much: and a slave belonging to one of his brothers being once in his house, was treated by him with as much tenderness as his own children  (My Father Quotes)
