“I seriously don’t thinkI’ve ever been this hard before, in my life.” & “Touch me.”
 college aged reddie accidental phone sex - continued under the cut
 “Okay, I got 26.4, too, do you want to try it or should I?”
Eddie shrugged, even though Richie couldn’t see it throughthe phone. His laptop was open on his lap, MyMathLab staring back at him on oneof the last problems of the night’s homework.
“I think I did the last wrong one,” Eddie replied. They always took turns entering their answers so if they messed up, only one of them would get it incorrect. It was absolutely saving their math grades.
“Okay, I’ll do it,” Richie said. Eddie waited a moment forRichie to enter their answer and see if they’d gotten the problem correct.After a moment, Richie yelled indignantly. “It’s doing the fucking thing again!It says the correct answer is 26.4, my answer exactly matches, and it’s sayingI got it wrong!”
Eddie sighed. This happened at least twice on each homeworkassignment. Technology was such bullshit. “Let me try.”
The computer told him he got the correct answer. When hetold Richie, he began cursing. Eddie laughed. “Calm down, dude, last one. I’llgo first so you don’t lower any more of your precious score.”
“Don’t make fun of me for wanting good grades, Edward,”Richie said haughtily. “Some of us are trying to keep our scholarships.”
“Some of us?” Eddie asked incredulously. “Both of us are onscholarships, dumbass. And making a B on one homework assignment out of thethirty we have this semester is not going to do much damage. Homework is 10% ofour –“
“Eds, I gotta be honest, I stopped listening,” Richieinterrupted. “Let’s finish so I can go jack off.”
“Richie!” Eddie felt his cheeks heating up. He hated that,hated that even after almost 15 years of friendship Richie could still make himas red as a tomato. It hadn’t always been that way. When they were in theirearly teens, Eddie had mostly felt slight disgust at Richie’s sexual comments. Asmuch as he wanted to, he didn’t see anything appealing about girls or boobs orvaginas and the fact that they seemed to be Richie’s favorite topic was generallyan annoyance.
That had changed when Richie had made his first commentabout fucking Bill’s dad instead of Eddie’s mom, which was how he’d decided to tell his friends he wasbisexual. They’d been 16. Eddie still wasn’t interested in girls, but at leastby that age he knew why. From that point on the blush appeared any time Richiementioned sex, mostly because Eddie had begun to picture what Richie might looklike; he never imagined another person with Richie, more just a blurry blob ofa human (for his own sanity). Unless Richie had specified someone – not so muchEddie’s mom or Bill’s dad, his two favorites, more like one of the Losers orsomeone from school – he managed to keep his fantasizing brain under control with the mental images.But when he did specify someone, Eddie didn’t blush. Didn’t feel the awkwardtingly sensation is his hands, didn’t feel his stomach swoop. He felt that sameannoyance from when he was young.
It became clear quickly that this feeling was jealousy.Because as much as Richie called Eddie cute cute cute and pinched his cheeks,Richie had never made that kind of comment about him. He hated how aware he wasthat he was the only person in the Losers Club that Richie hadn’t joked abouthaving sex with. Which – as much as he tried not to think about it – was stupidbecause he was so far up Richie’s ass in love with him that it wasn’t even funny.He shouldn’t want Richie to joke about having sex with Eddie when Eddieactually wanted to have sex with Richie. But he felt singled out in the worstway. Was he that childish to Richie? Too cute cute cute, too much like a kid? Didhe still imagine Eddie walking around in short shorts and a fanny pack? He knewRichie didn’t actually think he was cute – it was just a bit, like a hundredothers he had, but sometimes he wondered if Richie found him unattractive, tothe point that he wouldn’t even joke about sex with Eddie.
What Eddie hated most was how often he thought about it. Hehated that he knew all of the comments Richie had made to their friends overthe years, hated that he knew which of Richie’s comments would make him blushand which would make him jealous. He wanted to just see Richie as a friend,because then it wouldn’t matter and Eddie’s brain could think about normalthings, like their shared freshman algebra course or remembering which hallwaythe tutoring center was on.
“Did you get 9.8?”
Eddie blinked. As he’d been sitting in silence,contemplating Richie and his sex jokes, Richie had actually been doing theirhomework.
“Uh, yeah,” he said, glancing at his scratch paper.
“Did you even do it?” Richie asked.
“Uh, yeah,” Eddie repeated.
Richie snorted. “What have you been doing the last fiveminutes, watching porn?”
Eddie shut his eyes tightly. How could he have forgotten?The only type of sex joke Richie did direct at him. He cleared his throat. “No,I’m not watching porn.”
Even he could tell he sounded oddly defensive. He wasn’tlying! He wasn’t watching porn!
“That…” Richie paused, laughter in his voice. “That didn’tsound convincing, Eds.”
“Don’t call me that.”
“Deflecting?”
“No!” Eddie exclaimed, feeling his cheeks get even hotter.He rested his forehead in his palm.
“Are you sure?” Richie asked, almost sounding… curious. “Becauseyou’re definitely acting like you do when you’re lying. You’re a bad liar andyou should stop trying. Were you seriously watching porn while we’re doing ourhomework?”
“I wasn’t!” Eddie claimed. “You would’ve been able to hearit over the phone!”
Richie paused like he was mulling it over. Eddie pushed hislaptop off his lap, scooting back on his bed until his back was against thewall. When Richie spoke again, he sounded teasing. “So if you weren’t watchingsex then you must have been thinking about it.”
Eddie choked. “I – no! I wasn’t!”
“Oh my god, you were!” Richie crowed. He was laughing andEddie wanted to crawl under his covers and never come back out. “What were youthinkin’ about, then? What gets little Eds going?”
Eddie no longer wanted to crawl under his covers to hide. Hewanted to die. Little Eds. He would die and then he would haunt Richie’s stupidass.
“Why have we never had this conversation before? What kindof best friend am I that I don’t even know what gets my best friend off?”
“The normal kind,” Eddie said, his eyes still squeezed shut.
“No, this is important information. What do you search forwhen you visit PornHub? Do you have a favorite category?”
“Oh my god,” Eddie muttered, wondering if it were possibleto be even more embarrassed than he was right then.
“Do you like just some classic anal? Or are you a kinky guy,going for like, spanking and bondage and shit?”
Eddie was wrong. He could be more embarrassed. Richie continued talking as though Eddie wasn’t melting from the heat that was spreading from his cheeks down his chest.
“Nah, I think you’re a classic kinda guy. I don’t wanna callyou vanilla, Eds, but. Yeah, vanilla. The real question is whether you’re a topor a bottom.”
“I’m going to kill you,” Eddie choked out. He hated the wayhis stomach clenched as Richie spoke. He could still hear the laughter in hisvoice. He’s making fun of you, he reminded his dick.
“No, you’re definitely a bottom,” Richie decided, saying itas though he were absolutely sure. Eddie’s jaw dropped.
“Richie!”
“What? Are you saying you’re not?” Richie asked,incredulous.
“I – I’m not saying anything, asshole!”
Richie laughed. “So that’s a yes, then.”
“This is not a normal conversation,” Eddie stated, sure he’dnever been as red as he was in his life. “Like, is this something you’vethought about? Do you talk to Bill about whether he’s a bottom?”
“No of course not, Bill’s straight,” Richie said, as thoughit were obvious. “But he’d totally be a top.”
Eddie didn’t say anything.
“Is that the kind of guy you’re into, though?” Richie asked,and Eddie had to muffle a gasp. He’s still making fun of you, he told hisdick. “You wanna get fucked by Big Bill?”
“No,” Eddie answered, disgust in his voice. “He’s basicallymy brother, that’s gross.”
“Well if not Bill…” Richie trailed off. Eddie wasn’t surewhere he was going with this, but he didn’t like it. “Maybe Mike’s more yourtype. Or Ben? Do you like ‘em broad and muscular, Eds?”
“Jesus Christ,” Eddie said. “No, I don’t want to fuck them,either.”
“I’m not saying them specifically,” Richie said. “I’m sayingit as a type, you know? So is it? Is that your type? I can picture it.”
Maybe Eddie was already dead, and this was Hell. “Pleasestop picturing me having sex.”
“I – yeah,” Richie conceded, almost sounding embarrassed. Hepicked right up again, though, so Eddie hardly noticed. “Come on, Eds, yougotta help me out here!”
“I really don’t,” Eddie retorted.
“Fine,” Richie said, and Eddie huffed out a breath of relief.“Let’s talk about what I like.”
HE’S STILL MAKING FUN OF YOU, his mind yelled at his dick.
“I mean, I’m mostly a top but I don’t mind bottoming. I likea really nice ass, you know? Pretty eyes and a nice ass, those are myrequirements. I love a real cutie,” Richie said casually.
Eddie’s dick had stopped listening to him entirely. Cutie?Cutie?
“Now you gotta tell me one,” Richie told him. “It’s onlyfair.”
Eddie bit his lip. What was a safe answer? “Tall. I liketall guys.”
“Hmm.” Richie’s voice was curious again. “Muscles?”
“Uh,” Eddie stared up at the ceiling, wondering when thiswas going to end. “No. More – um, you know. Lanky.”
He would swear he heard a sharp intake of breath on theother end of the phone. Oh god. Was that too much? Of course it was, everybodycalled Richie lanky all the time. Beverly was constantly sending him carepackages and telling him to eat more because he was too lanky.
“Do you, uh,” the laughter was gone from Richie’s voice, buthe still sounded conversational. “What about hair? You into blondes? Redheads?”
Eddie knew he couldn’t answer. What was he supposed to say? I like dark hair with curls like a birds nest, Rich, know anyone like that? He turned it around onRichie. “No, it’s your turn. Do you like tall guys?”
Richie took a moment to answer. His tone was serious when he spoke. “No, I like shorter guys.”
Eddie was hardening with each word Richie spoke. Richie was just talking about sex - in a vague way! - and it was already getting him going. This was –this was awful and terrible and wonderful and he wanted it to stop, to end, tokeep going forever.
“Oh,” he answered, wincing at the breathlessness in hisvoice.
“Yeah, uh,” Richie’s voice was lower, Eddie was sure of it.He bit his lip. “I like ‘em smaller, ‘cause then I can – I like to… You know, Ilike – I like a guy under me that I can – uh – like, cover every inch ofhim.”
Eddie pressed the heel of his hand against his dick, bitingback a whine. He could hear the nervousness in Richie’s voice, but there wassomething else, too, something Eddie thought might be lust. He wanted to push,to say something that Richie wouldn’t be able to misinterpret, to make hisfeelings known, but he couldn’t think of what to say. His mouth was dry, hecouldn’t speak even if he knew the right words.
Luckily, Richie had always been the talker. “Do you likethat? ‘Cause you like tall guys, do you like ‘em –“
“Yeah,” Eddie interrupted, knowing how desperate he sounded.He squeezed himself through his shorts. “I like – I want somebody on top of me,you’re right, I’m – I’m a bottom, I want –“
“Fuck,” Richie groaned. Eddie cut himself off with awhimper. Richie sounded even better than he’d imagined. “I seriously don’tthink I’ve been this hard before, in my life.”
“Oh,” Eddie choked out, reaching inside his underwear andsighing when he wrapped his hand around himself. His cock twitched in his handwhen he heard a gasp through the phone. “Are you…”
“Yeah,” Richie answered. “I – fuck, Eds, I want you so bad,I’ve always –“
“Rich,” Eddie whined, squeezing at the base so he wouldn’tcome.
“What about you? You’re touching yourself?”
“Yeah,” he breathed, slowly moving his hand again, looseninghis grip and stroking slowly. “I’m – um, pretending it’s you.”
“Oh my god,” Richie mumbled lowly. “You – you’re thinkin’about my hands?”
“Mhm,” he murmured, beginning to move his hand faster. “Alwaysdo, always wish it was you, always want you to…”
“Want me to what?” Richie asked. Eddie choked on a gasp.
“Touch me,” he answered after a moment.
“Really?” Richie’s voice was awed and breathless.
“Yeah,” he said, thumbing over the head and crying out. “Always,Rich, wanted you so long –“
He listened as Richie began to moan louder, louder, and then a sharp cry before he letout a low sigh. He’d just made his best friend come.
“Oh my god,” Eddie groaned, feeling his stomach tighten ashe stroked himself faster, letting the phone go and holding it to his ear withhis shoulder. He reached down with his free hand and pressed a finger to the skin behindhis balls, coming with a gasp.
He stroked himself through it, hearing Richie’s heavybreathing as he came back down.
“Hold fuck,” Richie muttered when their panting hadsubsided.
“Yeah,” Eddie agreed, glancing down at his now messy shirtwith a frown. Then, unable to help it, he asked, “Did you mean it? When yousaid you – that you always…”
“Of course I did,” he said softly. Eddie opened his mouth toanswer but Richie kept going. “You were my fucking gay awakening, are youkidding?”
“I – what?”
Richie huffed out a laugh. “I’ve been jerking it to you foryears, Eds.”
The blush was back. “Um. Me too.”
“Can’t see why, but I’ll take it,” Richie said. “Not every day somebody hotas fuck admits something like that.”
He blushed even harder. He figured, if Richie kept sayingthings like that, maybe blushing all the time wasn’t so bad after all.

Transcript for Larry Charles on his new comedy docu-series
Let me ask you a question, can you find humor when you’re living in a tragic or deadly situation? Because that’s what the comedy veteran who worked on classics “Seinfeld,” “Curb your enthusiasm” and “Borat” is finding out in his new Netflix docu-series, “The dangerous world of comedy.” Take a look. It’s a dangerous world filled with hate and violence and war, and amazingly enough, comedy. Could you make a living as a comic in Iraq? Helping people forget they live in a war zone. How do you break into comedy in Somalia? Brave people to make dangerous comedy. It’s therapy. Laughterhe stress. Risking their lives just to make people laugh. You said that. I didn’t say that. Comedians will save the world. Please welcome Larry Charles. Larry, so — Before we start, I think we should talk about the hair for one more piece. Don’t you think there’s a little more hair discussion to be had. Sure, go ahead. I have the same hair as trump actually. That really threw me. If I grow it out lono that, you’re saying I could look like him? Yeah, you could. You may need an extra hour in the morning. You need a lot of glue. It doesn’t stay down. A helicopter is a big problem. You need like wranglers, hair wranglers. So Larry, you’re already a comedy legend here in the states. Thank you. Yes, you are. For those three shows that I just mentioned. All great shows. All the funniest shows W had here. What would possess you to go to these dangerous places? I went to Mogadishu and Somalia. A lot of things. It was a culmination of a lot of things that were going on. One of them was trump. I grew up in trump village in Brooklyn. Where is that? At the end of coney island and Brighton beach. I grew up there. I never heard of it. Where? Williamsburg. When he was elected this isolationism creeping in and I thought we don’t know anything about the rest of the world and now we’re going to know even less. I’ve had the good fortune to travel over the world doing the boat movies and things like that. Every place I had been to there were comedians. I would be in Jordan for instance and there would be a stand-up club in Jordan and all these places. So I started to Google just out of curiosity the most crazy, dangerous places in the world and comedy. No matter what I put in, no matter what I googled, there were always comedians. Somalia has comedians. I thought, they’re there, they’re living there, how do they do it? I knew myself I get to leave these countries, these oppressive regimes, come home, get the accolades, get the rewards, they’re stuck there. How do they live under those oppressive regimes and practice their comedy. That’s the series. The stakes of that was so different than the stakes we have here and I thought I have to go pursue that. It’s fascinating. My husband and I watched it and loved it. Some people might assume that comedy doesn’t exist in a place like war-torn Iraq of course but you’ve said that even under oppressive regimes, there were comedians there risking their lives, risking their lives. Yes, litly. Why would they do that? What did they say? Comedy in these other countries like a calling, like a religious calling. They feel they have a need to reach their audience and help them, help heal, help inform because these like the women from Saudi Arabia, they have to use social media to bypass the mainstream media to get their message out and wind up reaching millions of people that way. They have a very important message through the humor and the humor is sometimes used to inform and sometimes used to heal. Do they at least — are they careful about attacking the people in charge who might go after them? Are they careful? We’re not here obviously. In some countries — So far. In some countries there’s more caution. It depends on the individual. There’s a very courageous comedian in Iraq who hosts the Iraqi version of the Daily Show. It’s very anti-government and very anti-isis. He’s got both of them out to get him. He is not afraid. Most of the Iraqi comedians are prepared to be martyrs if it means they will eventually heal the wounds of Iraq. They want Iraq to be a country again. That’s what their desire is. So they’re willing to risk their lives for that. For freedom and the freedom of speech that we have in this country. Yes, yes. Amazing. Exactly. So I understand — I love this concept and I think it’s really fascinating and I understand comedy being used as a survival mechanism in bleak circumstances. Just me in my life, I completely understand it. But you did ask a member of ISIS what they laugh about. I hate ISIS. With all due respect, what should I care what a terrorist finds funny? He was a prisoner at that time wearing cuffs. I also talked to an Al shabaab terrorist who was defected. We can put everyone who does bad things to death, put them away and never hear from them and we’ll never understand, I think, and that’s the risk that we take. To me, the terrorism we know about is the end result of terrorism. We don’t know what really brings people to that point, you know. We’re talking about people whose countries are under attack from the time they’re children, so I thought it would be interesting to talk to people like that to find out how they reach that, and was there ever a moment where humor might have changed things. Al Bashir in Iraq talks a lot about how he has convinced people not to join ISIS through his humor. Do they find American humor funny? Do they ever reference that? All the countries I went to are addicted — western humor is the foundation everywhere. Everybody knows Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle. It’s amazing. That’s why I thought we should know them better. I love what you’re doing because we’ve gotten to this point in our country that we can’t even have a comic at the white house correspondents dinner. A lot of political correctness here. I have to go, I’m afraid but I’m sorry. I could talk to you — Yeah. Come back. I’d be happy to come back. I’m not even sure if you could do boat now. That’s correct. It would be a different movie now. Our thanks to Larry Charles. His dangerous world of comedy is streaming on Netflix now. Watch it.

Current times are a magnification of a problem that has been brewing for quite some time. The kiss ass, the indifferent, the greedy who don’t miss a trick are todays fortunate sons.** If half of this country didn’t want the other half to have a fighting chance we wouldn’t be in this situation right now.

What is up with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp who seemed so surprised at the virus months after everybody else seemed to know the facts? This is what happens if we only listen to Trump and Fox news.** He is so ready to open up the state early. ** A Georgia citizen said it best: Kemp mandates restaurants open, whether I reopen dining rooms or not. I file for business interruption insurance, it does not go through since I am “allowed” to operate full capacity. My landlord can demand all their money since I am allowed to fully operate. Furloughed staff that is collecting unemployment insurance have to come back to work or I have to let them go. Their unemployment insurance then goes on my tab. If things blow up again they are still on my tab, not on the state since they are no longer employed. This is about screwing the working class.** A dog has now been diagnosed with the virus as well as some cats.

Is this true? 150 members of the Saudi royal family tested positive for covid-19.** Did Trump play down the virus because he owes millions to China’s state owned banks or was it to try to get dirt on Biden?
*****
I am not sure what has happened to the American workplace. So many strides were made in the mid 20th century but a lot of that seems to have fallen away. I see so many employers leaving it to employees to provide supplies before they even get the job. Teachers sometimes buy things for the classrooms. Some employees must buy their own cell phones for video conferences or even punching in and out. Some nursing home employees bring in their own cough drops or snacks for residents. How much $ do the people at the top need?? No sick pay? Work or starve!

*****
The Neo confederate hate group, ‘league of the south’ is moving ahead with its annual conference in June.** Trump is getting ready to open the country with a coalition of his republican Governors and companies (some of whom seemed surprised). ** How did we get here? If our Pres is incapable of reading simple memos, he is incompetent. ** Scary Clown is trying to speed up the Wall as we are dropping like flies.
*****
This can’t be true. Federal agents are confiscating masks and supplies in hospitals, presumably for ICE agents??** Was Scary Clown 45 trying to force congress out of session so that he could skate some recess appointments by?** Rules have been weakened as to the release of mercury and various toxins from oil and coal power plants.** Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil do not seem to concerned about the virus.** Trump circled back around to the heat and light thing as a cure because he could not get over the shit he got for telling us that spring’s warm weather would take care of everything, right?

As everyone is sick with respiratory problems and the pollution has ebbed a bit, scary clown 45 has to roll back some of our rules that protect clean air. Auto emissions are rolled back to 1.5%.  He has to be loving the fact that we can’t all gather and protest. Hmmm?? Perhaps it is a conspiracy.. but his.** Oh but the disbelievers did gather in Michigan with dolls in nooses and confederate flags. Why do they think that the medical experts are telling them this for partisan reasons or just for their own kicks? They have our safety in mind. Use your fucking heads. How can this country get stupider as time goes on? ** Why can’t they just cover Covid treatment? Medical debt is gonna skyrocket.** I don’t like big government either but in times of crises and health care, we need it to work properly. ** But when the powers that be tell us that animals can’t get it and then a tiger gets it or that masks don’t protect you and then they suddenly do, it makes us all skeptical. Way to confuse us fuckers!!  Even with the ignorant and the panicked, just tell us the truth and the average person will be with ya!!** It was snowing in April? Where was this warmer weather that was going to kill the virus?
*****
You just knew that Trump and his cronies had money on the line when it came to hydroxychloroquine. ** Scary Clown 45 has removed the very man who was set to oversee the $ 2 trillion stimulus. The good ol boys can’t wait to get their hands on that money while people are dying. ** Trump delayed checks that are not direct deposit because he wants his name on them.** People had trouble getting thru when applying for unemployment. Canada gave out the benefits and then checked the details.** States and companies are very confused. Jared claims he is in charge, Pence is supposed to be in charge and FEMA claims they are the final word.  Trump seems to thrive on chaos. The states bidding, stocks up and down and Doctors disagreeing are right up his alley. He probably does hate being stuck at the WH.
*****
People will forgive you for not being the leader you should be, they will never forgive you for not being the leader you claim to be.
*****
Why should it be surprising that poor communities are being hit so hard? The poor, the minorities do so much of the cleaning, the cooking and delivering that still has to be done. When people are not sheltering in place because they are needed or they need that paycheck, of course they are getting infected since they are still out there. Add to that, little or no health care and poor diets from food deserts etc. and there you go.
*****

On a personal note: Hey Aunt Ritski, I will never forget that you saved a couple of people from drowning when you were a lifeguard. I will never forget one of your favorite tales, that you wanted to be Miss Kitty when you were 5 years old and got a little drunk trying. I will never forget the times that you drove thru the ditches, your Cooter Brown stories or the way that you often left all the change on the bar when we were out.  How could anyone forget the weddings, the bullet you had to live with the rest of your life and the love you had for your siblings. We will miss you forever because all of the lives you touched would have been a whole lot different without you in it. What the fuck would we have talked about if not for the saga of you? I can think of nobody who would disagree with that. Your family loves you baby. Go in Peace and serenity.

• A lot of times, it gets weird when some guy is playing your dad. It feels weird to you. It feels like they’re forcing sentiment. It’s disgusting. – Kristen Stewart • A sweet thing, for whatever time, to revisit in dreams the dear dad we have lost. – Euripides • After about midday my dad sent cars from his private collection for us. We were told to get in. We had almost lost contact with my father and brothers because things had got out of hand. I saw with my own eyes the [Iraqi] army withdrawing and the terrified faces of the Iraqi soldiers who, unfortunately, were running away and looking around them. Missiles were falling on my left and my right – they were not more than fifty or one hundred metres away. We moved in small cars. I had a gun between my feet just in case. – Raghad Hussein • Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad. – Anne Geddes

According to my rich dad, this is the job of a true entrepreneur. – Robert Kiyosaki • But actually my dad is a very talented director and not just his use of shots and camera, but he’s very good with actors and he knows acting well. It’s great to see him do that and be really good at it and he’s been doing it for a while and he certainly knows how to make movies, and little movies I guess for a television show, and he’s going to come back in November to direct a second episode, which I’m really excited about. – Emily Deschanel • But not like this: not with the house just an afterimage, and my mom a spirit, and my dad…recycled.” “Carter Kane, Chapter 41 – Rick Riordan • 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. – Tony Dungy
[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Dad – a son’s first hero, a daughter’s first love. – John Walter Bratton • Dad needs to show an incredible amount of respect and humor and friendship toward his mate so the kids understand their parents are sexy, they’re fun, they do things together, they’re best friends.

They should just be taken out before they start causing problems. – Nick Burd • Dads are the leaders in their homes, and our kids need leaders. – Greg Schiano • Dad’s tiny – his passport picture is a full-length shot. He looks like he just hopped off a key ring. Mum is a different matter, she’s a bit of a handful to say the least. I love her more than anyone on this Earth. But she’s a monster. – Ricky Hatton
• Growing up in New Orleans, my mom and dad were churchgoers. I would go to church with them. Also, I was going to a Catholic school so I had a fascination with the Catholic Church mainly because, in my mind, (their services) didn’t take as long. I was bouncing in between my mom’s Baptist church, which was called Second Zion Baptist, and going to a Catholic Church. – Avery Johnson • Growing up working with my dad, I really had no interest in doing the actual work, so I was always like drawing on the wood, doing stuff like that. It just has a real hands-on approach. – Eddie Martinez • Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament. But a child does owe his father a debt, if Dad, having gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his coat and buckles down to the job of showing his son how best to crash through it. – Clarence Budington Kelland • He’s [Harry S. Truman] just your dad, and you love him. It’s only when you grow up, and step back from him, or leave him for your own career and your own home – it’s only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it. Pride reinforces love. My father was a great man. – Margaret Truman Daniel • I actually wanted to be a police officer like my dad for the longest time, up until my sophomore year in high school when I started doing plays. I did plays when I was little, but in high school, I started getting into acting. – Chad Lindberg • I believe strongly that a group’s potential is eventually limited by the strength of its leadership. I’m an outsider, but it still looks to me like the leadership in the Java w orld is Fouled Up Beyond ALL Recognition. Java ISVs don’t know whether to listen to Mom or Dad. Everybody knows IBM should just buy Sun and clean up the mess. When are they going to do it? – Eric Sink • I can see the humor in just about any situation. After I lost my dad, I realized that none of us should take things too seriously, because everything except death works itself out. – Chris Rock • I didn’t realize how good I was with technology until I met my parents… my dad told me “You’re good; you should be a computer programmer.” I said, “You’re bad… you should be a caveman.” – Mike Birbiglia • I don’t think I really knew how fit I was when I was a kid. I rode with my dad quite long distances and I’ve been racing since the age of nine, so we did a lot of sport growing up. My earliest memories of my dad are watching him race, so it was inevitable when we were old enough that my brother and I would get on bikes. – Victoria Pendleton • I grew up as an only child. I think it might just be that my dad really didn’t care that I was a girl. “You’re gonna do certain things ’cause I want you to, and that’s the way it is.” – Mitchell Baker • I grew up in Birmingham, but my parents are originally from Barbados. My dad, Romeo, was a long-distance lorry driver, and my mother, Mayleen, worked in catering. – David Harewood • I grew up playing games, and I remember Christmas 1981 when my dad got us an Intellivision, and we all sat around and played ‘Astrosmash’ for hours on end. It was a big part of my youth. – Roger Craig Smith • I guess I knew my dad was into photography, so a part of me was interested in picking it up to understand him a little better. – Gia Coppola • I had a tremendous upbringing and foundation but as others like me have experienced, when you go to college, mom and dad are no longer there to help guide. There were some moments in college that really cemented my own convictions and beliefs. It was a real period of growth and maturity in my sanctifying process. I got married in college. That was a tremendous blessing. Four years later, we started having children and that gives you a deeper understanding of the Father’s love. – Aaron Kampman • I had old bunk beds that my dad got from Seabrook Farms. They were first used by German prisoners during World War II, who were sent to work the farms during the war. The metal beds with their thin mattresses could easily be used as a jungle gym and I loved them. – David Mixner • I had to figure out my own faith. That was something I figured out a while ago when I was 18. But I can always stand on the fact that my dad has been a great example for me. Beyond that, building my career hasn’t been attached to my dad. It’s been me figuring things out for myself. – Anthony Evans • I hate short hair on men – the ‘real’ man is something I don’t know. My dad was always playing with hairbands, making rings, while the women were wearing jeans, white T-shirts and Converse. That was the uniform at home. – Lou Doillon • I have always had the feeling I could do anything and my dad told me I could. I was in college before I found out he might be wrong. – Ann Richards • I hope I pass on my dad’s good humor, work ethic and lack of self-seriousness. Our house was always a fun place where you’d get knocked around quickly if you took yourself too seriously. – Willie Geist • I just love to sing, so like my dad’s advice when I was younger – anytime you get a chance to sing, just go out there and do it! I truly just love the actual singing. – Lauren Hart • I knew that I had to be a preacher. I had to be a minister, which was a puzzle to me because my dad was a businessman. It was a family company and I assumed that I would take it on from him. – N. T. Wright • I love baseball, I really do. I always told my Dad, I’m not gonna make it working… I like to play ball too much. Which I did. I played hard. You gotta work at this game. You really do. And its fun doing it if you do it the right way. – Yogi Berra • I love my dad. He used to be a professional wrestler in Mexico. So it was cool growing up with him, because when he hit us, he didn’t really hit us. – Felipe Esparza • I love my daddy. My daddy’s everything. I hope I can find a man that will treat me as good as my dad. – Lady Gaga • I love working with my dad, but I need to be independent and do my own stuff. – Rob Reiner • I loved rock and roll when that came in, Bill Haley, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, all those great records. So I begged my mom and dad for a guitar, which eventually they did get me for Christmas, but it went out of tune very quickly, and it hurt my fingers. – Ian McLagan • I never got along with my dad. Kids used to come up to me and say, ‘My dad can beat up your dad.’ I’d say ‘Yeah? When?’ – Bill Hicks • I never really was good at being a family general man, really. I hardly ever spent any time with my mum and dad whatever, really, or brothers or sisters. We just really didn’t get along. I was pretty much like the black sheep of the family, to be honest. – Andrew Chan • I never wanted to be an actor. My dad was an actor, and he never brought joy home, so I didn’t view it as something that I would want to do. – Jennifer Lawrence • I once punched a bloke in the face for saying ‘Hawk the Slayer’ was rubbish, when what I should have said ‘Dad, you’re wrong.’ – Bill Bailey • I sampled a bit of stuff from my dad’s collection. He has probably a bigger record collection than I do. I try to buy as much as possible, because I’ve never been able to keep an MP3 collection organized. I like to keep my computers as clean as possible. – Girl Talk • I spoke to my dad, and he said it took close to 90 dollars to raise me. But that was me and my sister, and my sister moved out when she was 16, so sometimes it can knock you up to triple digits to raise a kid. – Adam Carolla • I struggle every day with trying to be a better dad, a better husband, better musician, better artist. It consumes me, and I don’t see an end in sight. – Harry Connick, Jr. • I think a dad has to make his daughter feel that he’s genuinely interested in what she’s going through. – Harry Connick, Jr. • I think he gets a lot of respect just because he’s my dad, too. Even if he hadn’t had any experience. But I think he comes with a lot of experience and all of that as well, so I think people enjoyed working with him and had fun and also respected him, which was nice. – Emily Deschanel • I think I was really bored at school. I was quietly clock watching for years. I went to 10 schools because my dad was in the Army and we moved around a lot. – Ridley Scott • I think it’s becoming rarer and rarer when I consider the experiences that I’ve had in my life between my dad and my brother and all the men in my life who have all been gentlemen and have looked after women. – Alex Pettyfer • I think spending a lot of time with my mom, who’s a talker and a storyteller, and my dad, who has kind of a soft-spoken, understated sense of humor, I think that’s how I became what I am, which is sort of an understated storyteller. – Mike Birbiglia • I think that what’s funny is that I seem to be taking up the roles that I remember my dad having – for some reason, I’m the one who makes the coffee, and my dad was always that guy. It’s kind of shocking how closely I compare to my dad. – James Mercer • I think the best advice I ever got about acting was from my dad, which was, ‘If they don’t buy the fish on the first toss, throw it back in the wagon and go to the second house.’ Which is like an old Jewish fishmongers’ story about how you become a successful fish monger. – Lin Shaye • I think we should have a day off for Father’s Day. Dads work very hard. And to be fair, a day off for Mums too, as they work hard. And more bank holidays. They rock. – Peter Andre • I wanted to be an actor my whole young life. My dad was an actor, obviously – he won an Academy Award, but I had no idea what was involved. I had all the wrong ideas about acting. – Ed Begley, Jr. • I was lucky to have a great dad. – James McNerney • I was raised in farm and ranch communities, and my dad wanted me to be a cowboy like him, but I saw how he struggled in life and wanted more than that. – Tom Johnson • I was very inventive. I lived in my own world – my dad said I was a loner. Not lonely, just happy in my own company. It’s the same now. I need time alone, which is maybe why I love to write. Having said that, I love the sociability of telly. It’s a nice contrast. – Alan Titchmarsh • I wasn’t the athletic kid in my family. Both of my brothers were on athletic scholarships and my dad played semi-pro hockey. My younger brother played pro hockey. I was the music kid. But I always loved sports. I grew up around it. – Trevor McNevan • I would love to play Marlene Dietrich in a movie. My dad’s from Germany and so I feel like that would be a really interesting person to play. – Kirsten Dunst • If a dad does his job, we don’t need prisons, we don’t need jails. That’s what I saw growing up. – Mike Singletary • If there is some sort of trouble at home, kids don’t think that James Bond is going to come save their mum from their dad, or their dad from their mum. They don’t think, “Bond is going to come and save me.” Superman is a different sort of idealized figure. – Henry Cavill • If you love your dad, it’s tough when he dies. If you don’t like your dad, it’s tough when he dies. Because you lose that guy. Whatever you didn’t get, you miss. And what you did get, you miss. – Jimmy Iovine • If you’re a guy over 30 by yourself in the hotel pool, you automatically look like a murderer who’s just relaxing after he strangled a family. “Yeah-that dad was a tough one to kill.” – Jim Gaffigan • I’m a good blend of both my mom and dad. – Danica Patrick • I’m an actor, paid to act. I don’t bring personal problems to the sets. Dad taught me that. – Abhishek Bachchan • I’m glad I was raised by my dad for other reasons, too. There are things you can learn from a father, as a son, that you can never learn from Mom. Special things, important things. Like “never challenge Dad to a fist fight. – Christopher Titus • I’m not a typical Republican. I am a Republican, I wear the Republican jersey, I’ve been a Republican my whole life. My dad was a Republican, which is interesting because he was in a union early on. The Republican party was very strong in the area that I grew up in. So I’m a loyalist. – Anthony Scaramucci • I’m really close to my mom, but things with my dad have been different. He has dementia and watching him change, I’ve actually started to think that it’s a purer state for people. Because he operates as if he’s a child and everything is new, which seems more honest. – Blake Butler • It might be tough, but my dad used to say, tough times don’t last — tough people do. – James Robertson • It was always so important to my dad for us to understand about the Genocide and to know about our family history. – Kim Kardashian • It wasn’t like a “I know I wanted to do this,” I was sort of just – I was five and my dad kinda said hey, you wanna be an actor and I said sure. – Drake Bell • It’s a funny thing. It’s an odd thing to have your dad just come and work with you. But I think they all enjoyed working with him. It was a lot of fun. David loved teasing my dad, but I know respects him very much and when he gave him direction, David was always trying to do what he asked and we had a lot of fun. – Emily Deschanel • It’s because the idea of what’s cool is different. When you talk to a girl who goes to regular school, what’s cool is whether or not you’ve been to jail, or if you have a car. If you talk to a girl who goes to art school, what’s cool to her is if you do art projects on the weekend with your dad, if you can build something – out-of-the-norm stuff. – Anthony Mackie • It’s like a relay race of being ignored. It is really challenging, but whenever I get asked that stuff, I feel really self-conscious about it. I feel really lucky because we have a lot of help. When I first began to be a dad with Gwen [Stefani], I was amazed at what she went through. – Gavin Rossdale • It’s not any desire on my part to start playing dads, but it’s a convention of drama. If you don’t get the parts of young people going out to nightclubs, you have to play their fathers. – Ian Hart • I’ve always been aggressive and an underdog, and my dad was worried that I would always be that: constantly seeking inspiration from negativity. – Doseone • I’ve been so lucky to have my mum and dad because they’ve worked to give my brother and I everything. We’re not spoilt children. – Amy Childs • I’ve been very lucky in my employment over the years. You would think that the worst job I’ve ever had was as janitor, but it really wasn’t, because I was a janitor at my dad’s office building when I was younger. – Chris Carmack • I’ve got a really great family round me, two sisters and an older brother and my mum and dad. Everybody’s equal. – Nicholas Hoult • I’ve seen women who don’t have great relationships with their dads, and it all comes down to this: You have to tell girls you love them every day. – Chris Rock • Kids did really well in their A levels, how do we respond? ‘A Levels are getting easier, in my day you had to do fifty questions in a minute, if you got one wrong, they killed your dad! – Russell Howard • Kids really need love from two parents. It doesn’t matter if it’s a mom and a mom, or a dad and a dad. – Brendon Ayanbadejo • Lemurs are good parents but they do it in different ways. I originally studied father care. I was very interested in that and we saw that a lot of these animals that lived in pairs and the father wasn’t doing anything at all for the first month. But then suddenly, when the baby got to be a certain weight then the dads chipped in and started carrying the babies which was very nice. And then if there was twins or triplets then they helped. – Patricia Wright • Mom and Dad say I should make my life an example of the principles I believe in… But every time I do, they tell me to stop it. – Bill Watterson • Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was, you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose, which he put on her bedside table. That’s how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning, there was no rose. – Mitt Romney • My attitude towards money is because of my mum and dad. My parents have always worked full time and I’ve always had that work ethic in me. – Amy Childs • My brother and I grew up in a musical family. We have an older sister who sings and plays the piano. Our dad is a musician. Music was always a part of our lives. – Laura Allen • My brother and I were born in an Irish county called Tipperary. We were both very math- and science-inclined in high school. My dad trained as an electrical engineer, and my mom is in microbiology. – John Collison • My dad always said to go for my hobby and used to commend me for my excellent judgement so i try to do the similar for my children. – Heather McDonald • My dad always said to me that with fame comes great responsibility, which has always stuck with me, even though I think he stole that line from Spiderman. – Missy Higgins • My dad and I get into it all the time. He loves to discuss politics much more than I do and we have pretty heated conversations. – James Mercer • My dad and mom were more like World War II-era parents, even though it was the 1960s, because they were both born in the ’40s. They were young adults before the ’60s even happened, and married, and already having kids. But by the time we were adolescents in the ’70s, the whole culture was screaming at parents, “You’re a good parent if you’re open with your kids about sex.” They attempted to be open with us about sex, and it made them want to die, and consequently, it made us want to die. • My dad didn’t often bring me to the set, being an actor himself, so my infancy as an actor was wracked with a lot of giggles and nervousness. – Josh Brolin • My dad died, and my grandfather died, and my great-grandfather died. And the guy before him, I don’t know. Probably died. – Norm MacDonald • My dad got me a chemistry book one Christmas and I burnt the garden shed down. I remember there was the most beautiful smell forever after in the remains. – Beth Orton • My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you’re a kid, you want to be just like your dad. – Derek Jeter • My dad has always been such a great dad, and he’s brought so much culture to my life. He dragged me to see every single movie at the cinématheque as a kid. I saw everything from Star Wars to Bergman. – Julie Delpy • My dad has always just had a lot of faith in me as an artist and as a person, and he doesn’t really dispense with a lot of advice when it comes to the music. He’s taught me a lot over the years, but when I was taking on this project he’s really hands-off about that. He just appreciates what I’ve done and is very supportive, and of course really proud. – Molly Ringwald • My dad has always taught me these words: care and share. – Tiger Woods • My dad introduced me to the game, gave me a stick. Since then I’ve had a passion for it. – Sidney Crosby • My dad is a carpenter, a joiner, and I used to watch him make things. So I always imagined that I’d do something where I made things, too. I was really more interested in architecture growing up because I would work with my dad on houses. – Christopher Bailey • My dad is actually a manic depressive, which is very exciting half the time. – Marc Maron • My dad is an ambassador. My brother is a diplomat. I doubt that I could be doing anything else other than being a diplomat if I weren’t in showbiz. It’s in the genes! – Woody Milintachinda • My dad is my everything. He always had the craziest speeches for Kylie [Jenner] and me growing up, good words to live by. – Kendall Jenner • My dad is one of the funniest people I know. He’s the sort of man who can make you laugh just by reading out of a telephone directory… He’s a spastic. – Frankie Boyle • My dad is really just lazy. He has nothing, I feel, to offer this world. – Sasha Grey • My dad kept me away from people who treat children wrong. It’s just amazing that there is such a way to raise a person without giving them complexes. But nobody does it. They think it should be the old school. But look at the products. Wouldn’t it be great if you could avoid the complexes? Then you could deal with the complexes of life. – Juliette Lewis • My dad knew that if I wanted to make a career out of it, I needed to go to NASCAR rather than dirt racing. Personally, I like dirt racing a little bit more. It’s a little more fun. – Tanner Berryhill • My dad taught me at a very young age that I should work harder than everyone else: Be the first one in and the last one out. – Mandana Dayani • My Dad taught me that the English upper class are sent to school to be taught to be confident, whereas in Glasgow you’re born confident. I’ve always thought that pretty much summed me up. Born confident. – Rankin • My dad told me, ‘Your movie’s never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut. – Sofia Coppola • My dad used to call me “yeah but” because no matter what the answer was I always wanted to explore why things were what they were and how they might be different. – Arlene Dickinson • My dad was a bass player in a Latino band when I was growing up. So we always had musical instruments in our basement. – Lindi Ortega • My dad was a complicated man. He was a huge racist, my dad, but he still tried to be a good father, you know? Like, he would tell me that Santa Claus was black – that way, when I found out he didn’t exist, it wouldn’t be that big a let down. – Anthony Jeselnik • My dad was a cross-country truck driver. – John Searles • My dad was an engineer and so I had this picture of science and technology and pursuits of the mind as being more impressive than artistic pursuits, which I saw a as kind of frivolous. – Scott McCloud • My dad was so influential in my career. It was a fulfillment of every athlete’s dream. I dreamed about it as a kid. We played hockey in the backyard. We had silver buckets we carried around like the Stanley Cup. It was everything that you would hope. – Matt Cullen • My dad would often take me to the cinema and I found myself really seduced by the imagery, I think this had a massive impact on how I viewed the world. – Rankin • My dad, a mathematician, raised me to believe that mathematics is beautiful, so math is a part of my imaginative terrain. In my late 20s I wrote several 11-line poems because I wanted to create poems that couldn’t be uniformly divided into couplets, tercets, or quatrains, 11 being a prime number. – James Arthur • My dad’s a musician, and he taught me how to play when I was three, I think, so I’ve been playing ever since. It’s something I’ve always done. And when you’re really young, and you play music for people, people get really excited, so you get this inner sense that you are good at it, even though I’ve always been really not good at it. – Bob Schneider • My dad’s been one of those dads who loves showing newspaper articles to the neighbors. – Girl Talk • My dad’s dying wish was to have his family around him. I can’t help thinking he would have been better off with more oxygen. – Jimmy Carr • My dads great. Hes an amazing artist. A sculptor. Hes wonderful and supportive. I love going to museums with him – we talk about… everything. – Grace Gummer • My earliest influences would definitely be my father, just seeing him play in different bands and going to his shows and going to the rehearsals. You know what I’m saying, it was the typical story of a son looking up to his dad. So the years that my father was around, my father was my biggest influence. – Jon Connor • My father played in high school. My uncles played. From age five or six, I remember watching all the games. And I remember saying to my mom and dad even then that I was going to play in the NFL, and buy them a house and a car. – Thomas Jones • My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, ‘You’re tearing up the grass’; ‘We’re not raising grass,’ Dad would reply. ‘We’re raising boys.’ – Harmon Killebrew • My father was a management genius. But what I really wanted was a dad. – Michael Jackson • My father was my teacher. But most importantly he was a great dad. – Beau Bridges • My favorite thing about coaching? Teaching. Being around young people, just watching a player grow and develop. You know, a young man comes in with dreams and goals and ambitions and just helping him reach (them). It’s like your dad watching you grow up and like me watching my boys grow. – Tubby Smith • My grandfather and my dad’s brothers and my dad all worked in construction. It’s the whole cultural thing, you know, your parents want you to go to the next level of whatever, and I decided that I ought to be an architect. I can’t tell you why. And I tried, and I had no aptitude for it. – Bruce Molsky • My mom and my dad taught me the greatest gifts we have are our family, our health and the right to clean water and good land. – Erin Brockovich • My mother played the piano and my father the violin, I can remember my dad teaching me how to waltz; I had my feet on his, my mother playing the piano, and my husband will tell you the lessons weren’t very successful. – Quentin Bryce • My mum told me the best time to ask my dad for anything was during sex. Not the best advice I’d ever been given. I burst in through the bedroom door saying “Can I have a new bike?”. He was very upset. His secretary was surprisingly nice about it. I got the bike. – Jimmy Carr • My parents are really conservative. My dad is Muslim, and my mom is the most conservative woman you’ve ever met. They’re very aristocratic in the most quaint suburban way. – SZA • Nikah is a contract that transfers responsibilities. Therefore know the man you’re thinking of marrying, and be sure that he is able to take care of you, more than your dad did. Islam empowers women with honor and dignity. Don’t settle for anything less. – Nouman Ali Khan • Nobody had books at home. My dad was a very educated person, so he would have books at home. All Spanish books. That helped. Most of my homies had no books at home. – Luis J. Rodriguez • Nolan Ryan helped me with baseball, and my dad passing away gave me a bigger heart. – Randy Johnson • Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today. – Bono • People see Archie Bunker everywhere. Particularly girls; poor girls, rich girls, all kinds of girls are always coming up to me and telling me that Archie is just like their dad. – Carroll O’Connor • She got really mad a month ago, because she had e-mailed me a naked picture of herself – which is a nice thing to do – but then I messed up, and I accidentally forwarded that e-mail to both of my parents. Now, my girlfriend is furious, mortified, but I don’t even care, ’cause now I have to call up my mother and say ‘Mom, I am so sorry – that picture was just for dad.’ – Anthony Jeselnik • That really is the best part of being a dad. You remember what’s important in life. – Russell Simmons • The black and white lemur, the one that relaxes on that branch, they actually have day care, like kindergartens; where all the mothers come together and they put all the babies into this one nest and they let dad watch it while they go out and have food and have a good time and then they come back in a few hours. We’ve never seen that in other primates. – Patricia Wright • The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, ‘Daddy, I need to ask you something,’ he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan. – Garrison Keillor • The greatest gift I ever had Came from God; I call him Dad! – John Walter Bratton • Three of Donald Trump’s kids have come forward to defend him, and called him ‘an incredible dad and role model.’ Donald was so moved that he wrote one of them back into his will. ‘I’m not gonna tell you which one . . . it’s Donald Jr.’ – Jimmy Fallon • To be a dad: Make peace with the fact that you will now be your partner’s second favourite person in the world. – Chris Ramsey • We inherit a lot from our parents: mom’s eyes, dad’s chin, and the attitude of whichever parent isn’t punishing you at the moment. All of those things we have our mom’s to thank for.”If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?” – Milton Berle • Well, Thanksgiving we’ll all gather at my house for dinner and we usually do Christmas at Beau’s house. My mom is still feisty and kicking. She’s 92. I saw her last night and she published a book at 90. It’s a wonderful book called “You Caught Me Kissing” and it’s basically love-poems that she wrote for my dad. It’s more than that, it’s a wonderful book. – Jeff Bridges • We’re living in a time period where if a kid is on a plastic scooter that’s one inch off the ground, mom and dad think he should have a helmet on. I don’t think they should have a helmet on. They should break their leg and have an imagination. Otherwise, we’re going to have a nation of accountants. – Ramin Bahrani • When I look in the mirror, I don’t see my Dad, I see my grandmother. For a while it was my mother looking back at me. If only it was my Dad. – Colin Firth • When I was 11 years old and I was on a road trip with my family. I turned to my dad and said, “Do you believe in Adam and Eve?” And he said he didn’t think so. I remember that felt like a slap in the face, because if my parents questioned Adam and Eve, then they potentially questioned everything within Catholicism. Eventually that idea led to my feeling liberated, but at that time it was very scary. – Alanis Morissette • When I was a kid my dad would say, “Emo, do you believe in the Lord?” I’d say, “Yes!” He’d say, “Then stand up and shout Hallelujah!” So I would … and I’d fall out of the roller coaster. – Emo Philips • When I was a kid, I wanted to be a boy. I really had gender issues. I really thought I was supposed to be a boy. I used to sneak into my dad’s room and put on a suit, drink a cocktail, and pretend to smoke a cigarette. – Jane Lynch • When I’m sittin’ down to dinner with the family, stuff [another Yogiism] just pops out. And they’ll say, ‘Dad, you just said another one.’ And I don’t even know what the heck I said. – Yogi Berra • When I’m smiling and having fun, that’s when you should have a problem. If I’m out there frowning and looking mean, that’s when you know you’ve beat me – because I’m not having fun. I’ve been playing basketball since I was three. Everybody since I was three tried to tell me to stop smiling. Even my dad. My dad apologized to me when I was ten. – Dwight Howard • When my dad was in Vietnam, we lost a parent for a year. Thank God we didn’t lose a parent for good. – Fred Wilson • When you watch your mum and dad sing and they’re happy and it brings them joy, it is then a natural choice to go where the joy is. Music was always that place in our family. – Julia Stone • Yeah, my dad bought me a guitar when I was like 10, and I didn’t really want it then. – Johann Heinrich Lambert • You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk R-rated. I mean I’ve got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk. When a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they’re not talking the way people talk on TV. Unless it’s cable. – Bob Saget • You need your mom and dad to protect you. It means they love you so much. It was awesome she was backing me up and defending me. – Gabby Douglas

• A lot of times, it gets weird when some guy is playing your dad. It feels weird to you. It feels like they’re forcing sentiment. It’s disgusting. – Kristen Stewart • A sweet thing, for whatever time, to revisit in dreams the dear dad we have lost. – Euripides • After about midday my dad sent cars from his private collection for us. We were told to get in. We had almost lost contact with my father and brothers because things had got out of hand. I saw with my own eyes the [Iraqi] army withdrawing and the terrified faces of the Iraqi soldiers who, unfortunately, were running away and looking around them. Missiles were falling on my left and my right – they were not more than fifty or one hundred metres away. We moved in small cars. I had a gun between my feet just in case. – Raghad Hussein • Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad. – Anne Geddes
jQuery(document).ready(function($) var data = action: 'polyxgo_products_search', type: 'Product', keywords: 'Dad', orderby: 'rand', order: 'DESC', template: '1', limit: '68', columns: '4', viewall:'Shop All', ; jQuery.post(spyr_params.ajaxurl,data, function(response) var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(response); jQuery('#thelovesof_dad').html(obj); jQuery('#thelovesof_dad img.swiper-lazy:not(.swiper-lazy-loaded)' ).each(function () var img = jQuery(this); img.attr("src",img.data('src')); img.addClass( 'swiper-lazy-loaded' ); img.removeAttr('data-src'); ); ); ); • Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to. – Wayne Rooney • Before there is a business, a successful entrepreneur is designing this type of business in his or her mind’s eye. According to my rich dad, this is the job of a true entrepreneur. – Robert Kiyosaki • But actually my dad is a very talented director and not just his use of shots and camera, but he’s very good with actors and he knows acting well. It’s great to see him do that and be really good at it and he’s been doing it for a while and he certainly knows how to make movies, and little movies I guess for a television show, and he’s going to come back in November to direct a second episode, which I’m really excited about. – Emily Deschanel • But not like this: not with the house just an afterimage, and my mom a spirit, and my dad…recycled.” “Carter Kane, Chapter 41 – Rick Riordan • 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. – Tony Dungy
[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Dad – a son’s first hero, a daughter’s first love. – John Walter Bratton • Dad needs to show an incredible amount of respect and humor and friendship toward his mate so the kids understand their parents are sexy, they’re fun, they do things together, they’re best friends. Kids learn by example. If I respect Mom, they’re going to respect Mom. – Tim Allen • Dad taught me everything I know. Unfortunately, he didn’t teach me everything he knows. – Al Unser • Dad, how do soldiers killing each other solve the world’s problems? – Bill Watterson • Dad’s especially need to remember that what they say to their daughters is written in Sharpie. It can’t be erased. – Sue Enquist • Dads are the appendix of humanity. They should just be taken out before they start causing problems. – Nick Burd • Dads are the leaders in their homes, and our kids need leaders. – Greg Schiano • Dad’s tiny – his passport picture is a full-length shot. He looks like he just hopped off a key ring. Mum is a different matter, she’s a bit of a handful to say the least. I love her more than anyone on this Earth. But she’s a monster. – Ricky Hatton
• Growing up in New Orleans, my mom and dad were churchgoers. I would go to church with them. Also, I was going to a Catholic school so I had a fascination with the Catholic Church mainly because, in my mind, (their services) didn’t take as long. I was bouncing in between my mom’s Baptist church, which was called Second Zion Baptist, and going to a Catholic Church. – Avery Johnson • Growing up working with my dad, I really had no interest in doing the actual work, so I was always like drawing on the wood, doing stuff like that. It just has a real hands-on approach. – Eddie Martinez • Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament. But a child does owe his father a debt, if Dad, having gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his coat and buckles down to the job of showing his son how best to crash through it. – Clarence Budington Kelland • He’s [Harry S. Truman] just your dad, and you love him. It’s only when you grow up, and step back from him, or leave him for your own career and your own home – it’s only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it. Pride reinforces love. My father was a great man. – Margaret Truman Daniel • I actually wanted to be a police officer like my dad for the longest time, up until my sophomore year in high school when I started doing plays. I did plays when I was little, but in high school, I started getting into acting. – Chad Lindberg • I believe strongly that a group’s potential is eventually limited by the strength of its leadership. I’m an outsider, but it still looks to me like the leadership in the Java w orld is Fouled Up Beyond ALL Recognition. Java ISVs don’t know whether to listen to Mom or Dad. Everybody knows IBM should just buy Sun and clean up the mess. When are they going to do it? – Eric Sink • I can see the humor in just about any situation. After I lost my dad, I realized that none of us should take things too seriously, because everything except death works itself out. – Chris Rock • I didn’t realize how good I was with technology until I met my parents… my dad told me “You’re good; you should be a computer programmer.” I said, “You’re bad… you should be a caveman.” – Mike Birbiglia • I don’t think I really knew how fit I was when I was a kid. I rode with my dad quite long distances and I’ve been racing since the age of nine, so we did a lot of sport growing up. My earliest memories of my dad are watching him race, so it was inevitable when we were old enough that my brother and I would get on bikes. – Victoria Pendleton • I grew up as an only child. I think it might just be that my dad really didn’t care that I was a girl. “You’re gonna do certain things ’cause I want you to, and that’s the way it is.” – Mitchell Baker • I grew up in Birmingham, but my parents are originally from Barbados. My dad, Romeo, was a long-distance lorry driver, and my mother, Mayleen, worked in catering. – David Harewood • I grew up playing games, and I remember Christmas 1981 when my dad got us an Intellivision, and we all sat around and played ‘Astrosmash’ for hours on end. It was a big part of my youth. – Roger Craig Smith • I guess I knew my dad was into photography, so a part of me was interested in picking it up to understand him a little better. – Gia Coppola • I had a tremendous upbringing and foundation but as others like me have experienced, when you go to college, mom and dad are no longer there to help guide. There were some moments in college that really cemented my own convictions and beliefs. It was a real period of growth and maturity in my sanctifying process. I got married in college. That was a tremendous blessing. Four years later, we started having children and that gives you a deeper understanding of the Father’s love. – Aaron Kampman • I had old bunk beds that my dad got from Seabrook Farms. They were first used by German prisoners during World War II, who were sent to work the farms during the war. The metal beds with their thin mattresses could easily be used as a jungle gym and I loved them. – David Mixner • I had to figure out my own faith. That was something I figured out a while ago when I was 18. But I can always stand on the fact that my dad has been a great example for me. Beyond that, building my career hasn’t been attached to my dad. It’s been me figuring things out for myself. – Anthony Evans • I hate short hair on men – the ‘real’ man is something I don’t know. My dad was always playing with hairbands, making rings, while the women were wearing jeans, white T-shirts and Converse. That was the uniform at home. – Lou Doillon • I have always had the feeling I could do anything and my dad told me I could. I was in college before I found out he might be wrong. – Ann Richards • I hope I pass on my dad’s good humor, work ethic and lack of self-seriousness. Our house was always a fun place where you’d get knocked around quickly if you took yourself too seriously. – Willie Geist • I just love to sing, so like my dad’s advice when I was younger – anytime you get a chance to sing, just go out there and do it! I truly just love the actual singing. – Lauren Hart • I knew that I had to be a preacher. I had to be a minister, which was a puzzle to me because my dad was a businessman. It was a family company and I assumed that I would take it on from him. – N. T. Wright • I love baseball, I really do. I always told my Dad, I’m not gonna make it working… I like to play ball too much. Which I did. I played hard. You gotta work at this game. You really do. And its fun doing it if you do it the right way. – Yogi Berra • I love my dad. He used to be a professional wrestler in Mexico. So it was cool growing up with him, because when he hit us, he didn’t really hit us. – Felipe Esparza • I love my daddy. My daddy’s everything. I hope I can find a man that will treat me as good as my dad. – Lady Gaga • I love working with my dad, but I need to be independent and do my own stuff. – Rob Reiner • I loved rock and roll when that came in, Bill Haley, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, all those great records. So I begged my mom and dad for a guitar, which eventually they did get me for Christmas, but it went out of tune very quickly, and it hurt my fingers. – Ian McLagan • I never got along with my dad. Kids used to come up to me and say, ‘My dad can beat up your dad.’ I’d say ‘Yeah? When?’ – Bill Hicks • I never really was good at being a family general man, really. I hardly ever spent any time with my mum and dad whatever, really, or brothers or sisters. We just really didn’t get along. I was pretty much like the black sheep of the family, to be honest. – Andrew Chan • I never wanted to be an actor. My dad was an actor, and he never brought joy home, so I didn’t view it as something that I would want to do. – Jennifer Lawrence • I once punched a bloke in the face for saying ‘Hawk the Slayer’ was rubbish, when what I should have said ‘Dad, you’re wrong.’ – Bill Bailey • I sampled a bit of stuff from my dad’s collection. He has probably a bigger record collection than I do. I try to buy as much as possible, because I’ve never been able to keep an MP3 collection organized. I like to keep my computers as clean as possible. – Girl Talk • I spoke to my dad, and he said it took close to 90 dollars to raise me. But that was me and my sister, and my sister moved out when she was 16, so sometimes it can knock you up to triple digits to raise a kid. – Adam Carolla • I struggle every day with trying to be a better dad, a better husband, better musician, better artist. It consumes me, and I don’t see an end in sight. – Harry Connick, Jr. • I think a dad has to make his daughter feel that he’s genuinely interested in what she’s going through. – Harry Connick, Jr. • I think he gets a lot of respect just because he’s my dad, too. Even if he hadn’t had any experience. But I think he comes with a lot of experience and all of that as well, so I think people enjoyed working with him and had fun and also respected him, which was nice. – Emily Deschanel • I think I was really bored at school. I was quietly clock watching for years. I went to 10 schools because my dad was in the Army and we moved around a lot. – Ridley Scott • I think it’s becoming rarer and rarer when I consider the experiences that I’ve had in my life between my dad and my brother and all the men in my life who have all been gentlemen and have looked after women. – Alex Pettyfer • I think spending a lot of time with my mom, who’s a talker and a storyteller, and my dad, who has kind of a soft-spoken, understated sense of humor, I think that’s how I became what I am, which is sort of an understated storyteller. – Mike Birbiglia • I think that what’s funny is that I seem to be taking up the roles that I remember my dad having – for some reason, I’m the one who makes the coffee, and my dad was always that guy. It’s kind of shocking how closely I compare to my dad. – James Mercer • I think the best advice I ever got about acting was from my dad, which was, ‘If they don’t buy the fish on the first toss, throw it back in the wagon and go to the second house.’ Which is like an old Jewish fishmongers’ story about how you become a successful fish monger. – Lin Shaye • I think we should have a day off for Father’s Day. Dads work very hard. And to be fair, a day off for Mums too, as they work hard. And more bank holidays. They rock. – Peter Andre • I wanted to be an actor my whole young life. My dad was an actor, obviously – he won an Academy Award, but I had no idea what was involved. I had all the wrong ideas about acting. – Ed Begley, Jr. • I was lucky to have a great dad. – James McNerney • I was raised in farm and ranch communities, and my dad wanted me to be a cowboy like him, but I saw how he struggled in life and wanted more than that. – Tom Johnson • I was very inventive. I lived in my own world – my dad said I was a loner. Not lonely, just happy in my own company. It’s the same now. I need time alone, which is maybe why I love to write. Having said that, I love the sociability of telly. It’s a nice contrast. – Alan Titchmarsh • I wasn’t the athletic kid in my family. Both of my brothers were on athletic scholarships and my dad played semi-pro hockey. My younger brother played pro hockey. I was the music kid. But I always loved sports. I grew up around it. – Trevor McNevan • I would love to play Marlene Dietrich in a movie. My dad’s from Germany and so I feel like that would be a really interesting person to play. – Kirsten Dunst • If a dad does his job, we don’t need prisons, we don’t need jails. That’s what I saw growing up. – Mike Singletary • If there is some sort of trouble at home, kids don’t think that James Bond is going to come save their mum from their dad, or their dad from their mum. They don’t think, “Bond is going to come and save me.” Superman is a different sort of idealized figure. – Henry Cavill • If you love your dad, it’s tough when he dies. If you don’t like your dad, it’s tough when he dies. Because you lose that guy. Whatever you didn’t get, you miss. And what you did get, you miss. – Jimmy Iovine • If you’re a guy over 30 by yourself in the hotel pool, you automatically look like a murderer who’s just relaxing after he strangled a family. “Yeah-that dad was a tough one to kill.” – Jim Gaffigan • I’m a good blend of both my mom and dad. – Danica Patrick • I’m an actor, paid to act. I don’t bring personal problems to the sets. Dad taught me that. – Abhishek Bachchan • I’m glad I was raised by my dad for other reasons, too. There are things you can learn from a father, as a son, that you can never learn from Mom. Special things, important things. Like “never challenge Dad to a fist fight. – Christopher Titus • I’m not a typical Republican. I am a Republican, I wear the Republican jersey, I’ve been a Republican my whole life. My dad was a Republican, which is interesting because he was in a union early on. The Republican party was very strong in the area that I grew up in. So I’m a loyalist. – Anthony Scaramucci • I’m really close to my mom, but things with my dad have been different. He has dementia and watching him change, I’ve actually started to think that it’s a purer state for people. Because he operates as if he’s a child and everything is new, which seems more honest. – Blake Butler • It might be tough, but my dad used to say, tough times don’t last — tough people do. – James Robertson • It was always so important to my dad for us to understand about the Genocide and to know about our family history. – Kim Kardashian • It wasn’t like a “I know I wanted to do this,” I was sort of just – I was five and my dad kinda said hey, you wanna be an actor and I said sure. – Drake Bell • It’s a funny thing. It’s an odd thing to have your dad just come and work with you. But I think they all enjoyed working with him. It was a lot of fun. David loved teasing my dad, but I know respects him very much and when he gave him direction, David was always trying to do what he asked and we had a lot of fun. – Emily Deschanel • It’s because the idea of what’s cool is different. When you talk to a girl who goes to regular school, what’s cool is whether or not you’ve been to jail, or if you have a car. If you talk to a girl who goes to art school, what’s cool to her is if you do art projects on the weekend with your dad, if you can build something – out-of-the-norm stuff. – Anthony Mackie • It’s like a relay race of being ignored. It is really challenging, but whenever I get asked that stuff, I feel really self-conscious about it. I feel really lucky because we have a lot of help. When I first began to be a dad with Gwen [Stefani], I was amazed at what she went through. – Gavin Rossdale • It’s not any desire on my part to start playing dads, but it’s a convention of drama. If you don’t get the parts of young people going out to nightclubs, you have to play their fathers. – Ian Hart • I’ve always been aggressive and an underdog, and my dad was worried that I would always be that: constantly seeking inspiration from negativity. – Doseone • I’ve been so lucky to have my mum and dad because they’ve worked to give my brother and I everything. We’re not spoilt children. – Amy Childs • I’ve been very lucky in my employment over the years. You would think that the worst job I’ve ever had was as janitor, but it really wasn’t, because I was a janitor at my dad’s office building when I was younger. – Chris Carmack • I’ve got a really great family round me, two sisters and an older brother and my mum and dad. Everybody’s equal. – Nicholas Hoult • I’ve seen women who don’t have great relationships with their dads, and it all comes down to this: You have to tell girls you love them every day. – Chris Rock • Kids did really well in their A levels, how do we respond? ‘A Levels are getting easier, in my day you had to do fifty questions in a minute, if you got one wrong, they killed your dad! – Russell Howard • Kids really need love from two parents. It doesn’t matter if it’s a mom and a mom, or a dad and a dad. – Brendon Ayanbadejo • Lemurs are good parents but they do it in different ways. I originally studied father care. I was very interested in that and we saw that a lot of these animals that lived in pairs and the father wasn’t doing anything at all for the first month. But then suddenly, when the baby got to be a certain weight then the dads chipped in and started carrying the babies which was very nice. And then if there was twins or triplets then they helped. – Patricia Wright • Mom and Dad say I should make my life an example of the principles I believe in… But every time I do, they tell me to stop it. – Bill Watterson • Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was, you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose, which he put on her bedside table. That’s how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning, there was no rose. – Mitt Romney • My attitude towards money is because of my mum and dad. My parents have always worked full time and I’ve always had that work ethic in me. – Amy Childs • My brother and I grew up in a musical family. We have an older sister who sings and plays the piano. Our dad is a musician. Music was always a part of our lives. – Laura Allen • My brother and I were born in an Irish county called Tipperary. We were both very math- and science-inclined in high school. My dad trained as an electrical engineer, and my mom is in microbiology. – John Collison • My dad always said to go for my hobby and used to commend me for my excellent judgement so i try to do the similar for my children. – Heather McDonald • My dad always said to me that with fame comes great responsibility, which has always stuck with me, even though I think he stole that line from Spiderman. – Missy Higgins • My dad and I get into it all the time. He loves to discuss politics much more than I do and we have pretty heated conversations. – James Mercer • My dad and mom were more like World War II-era parents, even though it was the 1960s, because they were both born in the ’40s. They were young adults before the ’60s even happened, and married, and already having kids. But by the time we were adolescents in the ’70s, the whole culture was screaming at parents, “You’re a good parent if you’re open with your kids about sex.” They attempted to be open with us about sex, and it made them want to die, and consequently, it made us want to die. • My dad didn’t often bring me to the set, being an actor himself, so my infancy as an actor was wracked with a lot of giggles and nervousness. – Josh Brolin • My dad died, and my grandfather died, and my great-grandfather died. And the guy before him, I don’t know. Probably died. – Norm MacDonald • My dad got me a chemistry book one Christmas and I burnt the garden shed down. I remember there was the most beautiful smell forever after in the remains. – Beth Orton • My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you’re a kid, you want to be just like your dad. – Derek Jeter • My dad has always been such a great dad, and he’s brought so much culture to my life. He dragged me to see every single movie at the cinématheque as a kid. I saw everything from Star Wars to Bergman. – Julie Delpy • My dad has always just had a lot of faith in me as an artist and as a person, and he doesn’t really dispense with a lot of advice when it comes to the music. He’s taught me a lot over the years, but when I was taking on this project he’s really hands-off about that. He just appreciates what I’ve done and is very supportive, and of course really proud. – Molly Ringwald • My dad has always taught me these words: care and share. – Tiger Woods • My dad introduced me to the game, gave me a stick. Since then I’ve had a passion for it. – Sidney Crosby • My dad is a carpenter, a joiner, and I used to watch him make things. So I always imagined that I’d do something where I made things, too. I was really more interested in architecture growing up because I would work with my dad on houses. – Christopher Bailey • My dad is actually a manic depressive, which is very exciting half the time. – Marc Maron • My dad is an ambassador. My brother is a diplomat. I doubt that I could be doing anything else other than being a diplomat if I weren’t in showbiz. It’s in the genes! – Woody Milintachinda • My dad is my everything. He always had the craziest speeches for Kylie [Jenner] and me growing up, good words to live by. – Kendall Jenner • My dad is one of the funniest people I know. He’s the sort of man who can make you laugh just by reading out of a telephone directory… He’s a spastic. – Frankie Boyle • My dad is really just lazy. He has nothing, I feel, to offer this world. – Sasha Grey • My dad kept me away from people who treat children wrong. It’s just amazing that there is such a way to raise a person without giving them complexes. But nobody does it. They think it should be the old school. But look at the products. Wouldn’t it be great if you could avoid the complexes? Then you could deal with the complexes of life. – Juliette Lewis • My dad knew that if I wanted to make a career out of it, I needed to go to NASCAR rather than dirt racing. Personally, I like dirt racing a little bit more. It’s a little more fun. – Tanner Berryhill • My dad taught me at a very young age that I should work harder than everyone else: Be the first one in and the last one out. – Mandana Dayani • My Dad taught me that the English upper class are sent to school to be taught to be confident, whereas in Glasgow you’re born confident. I’ve always thought that pretty much summed me up. Born confident. – Rankin • My dad told me, ‘Your movie’s never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut. – Sofia Coppola • My dad used to call me “yeah but” because no matter what the answer was I always wanted to explore why things were what they were and how they might be different. – Arlene Dickinson • My dad was a bass player in a Latino band when I was growing up. So we always had musical instruments in our basement. – Lindi Ortega • My dad was a complicated man. He was a huge racist, my dad, but he still tried to be a good father, you know? Like, he would tell me that Santa Claus was black – that way, when I found out he didn’t exist, it wouldn’t be that big a let down. – Anthony Jeselnik • My dad was a cross-country truck driver. – John Searles • My dad was an engineer and so I had this picture of science and technology and pursuits of the mind as being more impressive than artistic pursuits, which I saw a as kind of frivolous. – Scott McCloud • My dad was so influential in my career. It was a fulfillment of every athlete’s dream. I dreamed about it as a kid. We played hockey in the backyard. We had silver buckets we carried around like the Stanley Cup. It was everything that you would hope. – Matt Cullen • My dad would often take me to the cinema and I found myself really seduced by the imagery, I think this had a massive impact on how I viewed the world. – Rankin • My dad, a mathematician, raised me to believe that mathematics is beautiful, so math is a part of my imaginative terrain. In my late 20s I wrote several 11-line poems because I wanted to create poems that couldn’t be uniformly divided into couplets, tercets, or quatrains, 11 being a prime number. – James Arthur • My dad’s a musician, and he taught me how to play when I was three, I think, so I’ve been playing ever since. It’s something I’ve always done. And when you’re really young, and you play music for people, people get really excited, so you get this inner sense that you are good at it, even though I’ve always been really not good at it. – Bob Schneider • My dad’s been one of those dads who loves showing newspaper articles to the neighbors. – Girl Talk • My dad’s dying wish was to have his family around him. I can’t help thinking he would have been better off with more oxygen. – Jimmy Carr • My dads great. Hes an amazing artist. A sculptor. Hes wonderful and supportive. I love going to museums with him – we talk about… everything. – Grace Gummer • My earliest influences would definitely be my father, just seeing him play in different bands and going to his shows and going to the rehearsals. You know what I’m saying, it was the typical story of a son looking up to his dad. So the years that my father was around, my father was my biggest influence. – Jon Connor • My father played in high school. My uncles played. From age five or six, I remember watching all the games. And I remember saying to my mom and dad even then that I was going to play in the NFL, and buy them a house and a car. – Thomas Jones • My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, ‘You’re tearing up the grass’; ‘We’re not raising grass,’ Dad would reply. ‘We’re raising boys.’ – Harmon Killebrew • My father was a management genius. But what I really wanted was a dad. – Michael Jackson • My father was my teacher. But most importantly he was a great dad. – Beau Bridges • My favorite thing about coaching? Teaching. Being around young people, just watching a player grow and develop. You know, a young man comes in with dreams and goals and ambitions and just helping him reach (them). It’s like your dad watching you grow up and like me watching my boys grow. – Tubby Smith • My grandfather and my dad’s brothers and my dad all worked in construction. It’s the whole cultural thing, you know, your parents want you to go to the next level of whatever, and I decided that I ought to be an architect. I can’t tell you why. And I tried, and I had no aptitude for it. – Bruce Molsky • My mom and my dad taught me the greatest gifts we have are our family, our health and the right to clean water and good land. – Erin Brockovich • My mother played the piano and my father the violin, I can remember my dad teaching me how to waltz; I had my feet on his, my mother playing the piano, and my husband will tell you the lessons weren’t very successful. – Quentin Bryce • My mum told me the best time to ask my dad for anything was during sex. Not the best advice I’d ever been given. I burst in through the bedroom door saying “Can I have a new bike?”. He was very upset. His secretary was surprisingly nice about it. I got the bike. – Jimmy Carr • My parents are really conservative. My dad is Muslim, and my mom is the most conservative woman you’ve ever met. They’re very aristocratic in the most quaint suburban way. – SZA • Nikah is a contract that transfers responsibilities. Therefore know the man you’re thinking of marrying, and be sure that he is able to take care of you, more than your dad did. Islam empowers women with honor and dignity. Don’t settle for anything less. – Nouman Ali Khan • Nobody had books at home. My dad was a very educated person, so he would have books at home. All Spanish books. That helped. Most of my homies had no books at home. – Luis J. Rodriguez • Nolan Ryan helped me with baseball, and my dad passing away gave me a bigger heart. – Randy Johnson • Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today. – Bono • People see Archie Bunker everywhere. Particularly girls; poor girls, rich girls, all kinds of girls are always coming up to me and telling me that Archie is just like their dad. – Carroll O’Connor • She got really mad a month ago, because she had e-mailed me a naked picture of herself – which is a nice thing to do – but then I messed up, and I accidentally forwarded that e-mail to both of my parents. Now, my girlfriend is furious, mortified, but I don’t even care, ’cause now I have to call up my mother and say ‘Mom, I am so sorry – that picture was just for dad.’ – Anthony Jeselnik • That really is the best part of being a dad. You remember what’s important in life. – Russell Simmons • The black and white lemur, the one that relaxes on that branch, they actually have day care, like kindergartens; where all the mothers come together and they put all the babies into this one nest and they let dad watch it while they go out and have food and have a good time and then they come back in a few hours. We’ve never seen that in other primates. – Patricia Wright • The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, ‘Daddy, I need to ask you something,’ he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan. – Garrison Keillor • The greatest gift I ever had Came from God; I call him Dad! – John Walter Bratton • Three of Donald Trump’s kids have come forward to defend him, and called him ‘an incredible dad and role model.’ Donald was so moved that he wrote one of them back into his will. ‘I’m not gonna tell you which one . . . it’s Donald Jr.’ – Jimmy Fallon • To be a dad: Make peace with the fact that you will now be your partner’s second favourite person in the world. – Chris Ramsey • We inherit a lot from our parents: mom’s eyes, dad’s chin, and the attitude of whichever parent isn’t punishing you at the moment. All of those things we have our mom’s to thank for.”If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?” – Milton Berle • Well, Thanksgiving we’ll all gather at my house for dinner and we usually do Christmas at Beau’s house. My mom is still feisty and kicking. She’s 92. I saw her last night and she published a book at 90. It’s a wonderful book called “You Caught Me Kissing” and it’s basically love-poems that she wrote for my dad. It’s more than that, it’s a wonderful book. – Jeff Bridges • We’re living in a time period where if a kid is on a plastic scooter that’s one inch off the ground, mom and dad think he should have a helmet on. I don’t think they should have a helmet on. They should break their leg and have an imagination. Otherwise, we’re going to have a nation of accountants. – Ramin Bahrani • When I look in the mirror, I don’t see my Dad, I see my grandmother. For a while it was my mother looking back at me. If only it was my Dad. – Colin Firth • When I was 11 years old and I was on a road trip with my family. I turned to my dad and said, “Do you believe in Adam and Eve?” And he said he didn’t think so. I remember that felt like a slap in the face, because if my parents questioned Adam and Eve, then they potentially questioned everything within Catholicism. Eventually that idea led to my feeling liberated, but at that time it was very scary. – Alanis Morissette • When I was a kid my dad would say, “Emo, do you believe in the Lord?” I’d say, “Yes!” He’d say, “Then stand up and shout Hallelujah!” So I would … and I’d fall out of the roller coaster. – Emo Philips • When I was a kid, I wanted to be a boy. I really had gender issues. I really thought I was supposed to be a boy. I used to sneak into my dad’s room and put on a suit, drink a cocktail, and pretend to smoke a cigarette. – Jane Lynch • When I’m sittin’ down to dinner with the family, stuff [another Yogiism] just pops out. And they’ll say, ‘Dad, you just said another one.’ And I don’t even know what the heck I said. – Yogi Berra • When I’m smiling and having fun, that’s when you should have a problem. If I’m out there frowning and looking mean, that’s when you know you’ve beat me – because I’m not having fun. I’ve been playing basketball since I was three. Everybody since I was three tried to tell me to stop smiling. Even my dad. My dad apologized to me when I was ten. – Dwight Howard • When my dad was in Vietnam, we lost a parent for a year. Thank God we didn’t lose a parent for good. – Fred Wilson • When you watch your mum and dad sing and they’re happy and it brings them joy, it is then a natural choice to go where the joy is. Music was always that place in our family. – Julia Stone • Yeah, my dad bought me a guitar when I was like 10, and I didn’t really want it then. – Johann Heinrich Lambert • You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk R-rated. I mean I’ve got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk. When a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they’re not talking the way people talk on TV. Unless it’s cable. – Bob Saget • You need your mom and dad to protect you. It means they love you so much. It was awesome she was backing me up and defending me. – Gabby Douglas
