My father, at the death of his father, was but six years of age; and he grew up, literally without education  (My Father Quotes) My father so appropriately put it that we are certainly the only animal that makes conscious choices that are bad for our survival as a species  (My Father Quotes) When I was 7, I wanted to be a jockey. My father told me women weren’t allowed. I couldn’t believe it. I was perfectly willing to fail on my own merits, but to be flunked at birth?  (My Father Quotes) Basketball allowed me to revere my father without him knowing what I was up to. I took up basketball as a form of homage and mimicry  (My Father Quotes) I began to learn what poverty meant. It was burnt in my heart then that my father had to beg for work and there came the resolve that I would cure that when I got to be a man  (My Father Quotes) My father had declared a predilection for heirs general, that is, males and females indiscriminately... I, on the other hand, had a zealous partiality for heirs male, however remote  (My Father Quotes) Everything I ever learnt as a small boy came from my father, and I never found anything he ever told me to be wrong or worthless. The simple lessons he taught me are as sharp and clear in my mind as if I had heard them only yesterday  (My Father Quotes) I am not trying to be better than my father. I am not trying to be like him. I am just trying to be myself and express myself how I feel  (My Father Quotes) As an artist, I feel that my father’s biggest influence is me realizing that music has a purpose and it’s not just for business and that music is spiritual. I get that from him that music is a spiritual thing  (My Father Quotes) I can feel my father’s spirit within me. I can feel similarities within us from the artistic perspective from being a musician. We have a lot of similarities  (My Father Quotes) My father was the role model I looked up. My dad was an entertainer, too. I patterned my life after him. He wanted me to do better than he did. He never sold a record in his life, but to me he was still a rock star  (My Father Quotes) As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy  (My Father Quotes) I know that I will never find my father in any other man who comes into my life, because it is a void in my life that can only be filled by him  (My Father Quotes) I’m more comfortable with whatever’s wrong with me than my father was whenever he felt he failed or didn’t measure up to the standard he set  (My Father Quotes) I’m ridiculous in my oversharing; my mom and sister are very open but a little more judicious than me... and my father is a decidedly private person  (My Father Quotes) Just like my father, I’ve always loved education. In school I was a member of the honor society  (My Father Quotes) My father always used to say that when you die, if you’ve got five real friends, then you’ve had a great life  (My Father Quotes) My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don’t ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father  (My Father Quotes) My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn’t seem to add up to very much  (My Father Quotes) One of the tough things about being an actor, probably the hardest thing, is getting your foot in the door, and my father handled that for me at a very early age  (My Father Quotes) I had an older brother who was very interested in literature, so I had an early exposure to literature, and and theater.

By the same token, my father telling me fairy tales that he had made up shaped me profoundly, too  (My Father Quotes) I look at my father, who was in many ways an unhappy person, but who, not long before he got sick, said that the greatest source of satisfaction in his life had been going to work in the company of other workers  (My Father Quotes) Yes, and I had pimples so badly it used to make me so shy. I used not to look at myself. I’d hide my face in the dark, I wouldn’t want to look in the mirror and my father teased me and I just hated it and I cried everyday  (My Father Quotes) In the early years, I found a voice that was my voice and also partly my father’s voice.

Hey, my kids do it  (My Father Quotes) When it comes to my own turn to lay my weapons down, I shall do so with thankfulness and fatigue, and whatever be my destiny afterward, I shall be glad to lie down with my fathers in honor. It is human at least, if not divine  (My Father Quotes) If my father had a heart attack, it would give me no solace at all to know his treatment was first tried on a dog  (My Father Quotes) I am interested in physical medicine because my father was.

But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years  (My Father Quotes) I inherited a vile melancholy from my father, which has made me mad all my life, at least not sober  (My Father Quotes)
