I was born in Japan, so for me, Uniqlo is a family brand. My granny used to wear Uniqlo. And my Italian dad wore Uniqlo. I wore Uniqlo, of course. – Nicola Formichetti
My dad was a baggage handler at Heathrow and careful with money. He worked hard and had three jobs when I was young. I wish I’d inherited his care for money. Sadly, I’ve grown up to be rather scatty when it comes to finances. – Gary Numan
My dad likes to recite the story of ‘Pablo the Donkey’ before dinner to teach us the real meaning of Christmas. Every year, it’s the same; every year, we cringe! – Mallory Jansen
I said, ‘Ooh, Dad, I want the yellow ones.’ He said, ‘Where?’ I said, ‘Right there, Dad. I want the yellow ones.’ Everybody goes, ‘Those are green’. That’s how I knew I was colorblind. – Michael Rosenbaum
We have a snap of my dad wearing blue eye shadow, which I would always make fun of. When I was about 12 and first started wearing lipstick, my dad would ask, ‘Are you wearing makeup?’ I would say back, ‘You’re wearing more makeup there than I am!’ – Georgia May Jagger
Have you ever read the back of the Newman’s Diavolo pasta sauce? Dad on the front is dressed like the devil with a little beard and horns. He says that he sells his soul to the devil for the recipe. It was banned in the South. They thought it was an abomination. – Nell Newman
I go back five generations in Jamaica. My dad grew up in Port Royal, and my mom grew up in Kingston. My family is from the country like West Moreland and also in Manchester. I’ve been there countless times. As far as cuisine, there’s not really much that comes out of Jamaica that’s on a plate that I don’t like. – Dule Hill
I think women look for that quality in a man of being a good dad whether they’re immediately wanting to be a parent or not. – Emily VanCamp
You know, when my dad was a racing fan in Australia he would follow Jack Brabham and sometimes only hear if he won two days after a race – when the result finally appeared in his newspaper. These days I can tweet something and it’s all over the world in seconds. – Mark Webber
I would say the most help I got was from my dad. My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland; he’s 90 years old now, so he’s no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person. – Claude Nicollier
My dad was an actor, so he would try and put me off and say, ‘Come on, you’ve got to go to university first.’ – Dolly Wells
When you were growing up, your mom and dad told you to look both ways before crossing the street or not to get into a car with a stranger. It’s the same with the Internet. We have a big responsibility and a huge role in bringing all the stakeholders to the table – users, parents, educators, law enforcement, government organisations. – Chris DeWolfe
I’ve always loved working out. When I was little, my dad used to make me and my sister do 10 press-ups every day before we brushed our teeth in the morning. It was like a boot camp! Then I did a lot of athletics at school and was a dancer. – Fleur East
When Dad died in 1998, it really hit my confidence – he’d helped me write and he thought I was really funny, but since he’d died I didn’t feel right. And it felt like no one but me even remembered him. – Dolly Wells
I guess I learnt to appreciate old Hindi-movie music from my dad and somewhere down the line picked up jazz as well. – Deepika Padukone

If I ever have a son, I would call him Frankie, and it’s a family name – it’s my dad and my dad’s dad, so you know, it sticks. I won’t forget it. – Frank Lampard
Mum and dad thought I was going to say I was pregnant. I said oh no, no, I’ve just been nominated for a Golden Globe. They were like, oh that’s lovely, love. – Melissa George

On my mother’s side, I’m English, so that’s where the freckles come from. On my father’s side, I’m German, and he has the fantastic olive hues… I was given mum’s skin, whereas my brothers and sisters were given my dad’s skin. I do tan up quite well, but it takes me a bit longer. – Dan Feuerriegel
When I was a teenager, my dad used to put a lot of pressure on me to be successful, and I’d really beat myself up about things like losing martial arts competitions. – Dolph Lundgren
When I left high school, my dad was directing a film, and I went to work for him as a P.A. There were two wonderful editors, Bud Isaacs and Bernie Balmuth, working on the project, and every chance I had, I would go to the editing room to watch and learn from them. – Christopher Rouse
I’m quite dyslexic in school. My dad let me figure out what I wanted to do on my own. My parents never really lecture me. – Georgia May Jagger
When I was born, my dad and my mom gave me names, but in Africa, when your child is born, especially close family members can suggest names they want to add on. Maybe your grandmom and your grandpop have something to add to the name of the child. – Dikembe Mutombo
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law? – Dick Clark
