The real reason we ended up getting into that type of music was our dad worked for an oil company so we spent a year overseas when we were young kids. Because of that, it was all Spanish TV and radio so we ended up having these ’50s and ’60s tapes, tapes of that music. – Zac Hanson
My dad was a militant atheist, or is a militant atheist. My mum was sort of bought up in a religious family because she was a Protestant from Ireland but wasn’t especially religious. – Tony Blair
I haven’t been baptised. My dad’s not in the church and is not a religious person. My mum is more spiritual – she does Thai-chi and goes to Stonehenge and things like that. I’m proud to be pagan. Finland is not really a religious country. I’m still looking for my god. – Ville Valo
I worked in Dad’s stores, moving boxes – I remember quite well one stockroom that was upstairs – sweeping floors, laying tile. I also had paper routes. – S. Robson Walton
I can jump on to a kitchen worktop from standing, like Tigger. It was something my dad could do, and I copied it from him. – Tom Riley
We moved to Gambia from Sweden when I was six years old because my dad was from there. It was definitely a culture shock. – Seinabo Sey
I do find violence entertaining, but that doesn’t make me a bad person. I grew up watching all these action films when I was a kid. My dad would bring back ‘Rambo’ and whatever, and we’d watch it together. It’s not affected me in any way other than I just appreciate the entertainment value of violence on film. – Scott Adkins
Math was always hard for me, but my dad would come up with ways of making it fun. I remember playing ‘Number Munchers’ on our old Mac… That counts as math class, right? – Seth Numrich
Atticus Finch. That’s who I want to be when I grow up. He’s the greatest guy ever – a good dad, a good lawyer, doing the right thing. And he knows he’s not supposed to win, but he’s doing it anyway. – Sean Patrick Maloney
I hope that, somewhere, Mom and Dad are proud that little Walter is performing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. – Walter Cronkite
At 18, I guarded the parking lot at the Catholic Church bingos. Now, my dad made sure I could take care of myself. I carried a Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum – that gun weighed more than I did! – Susana Martinez
In my household, everything happens in the kitchen. My parents have this pretty big home, and it doesn’t matter how big it is, we will all squeeze ourselves in the kitchen and just chat while my mom or dad cooks. – Selenis Leyva
My dad worked nights mostly and while we were growing up, and my mother also worked, so there were times where, when it was just the two of us at home, and, you know, they gave us a pretty long leash, actually. – Scott Kelly
The only thing I could be better at is to be around more. Other than that, I’m a great dad. I come to the soccer games and teach her stuff, go over her homework with her every night; we stay on the phone. I try to be as good as a dad as I can be. – Ty Dolla Sign
Dad lived his life in a way that it was his character, not his circumstances, that dictated what his life looked like. – Steven Ford
I remember watching my dad work on PCs, and I remember using Texas Instrument calculators in school. It was a bit nostalgic. – Scott Michael Foster
People are always going to assume I got my roles because of my father. There’s not much I can do about that. He and I talk about the business sometimes, but he’s my dad. – Spencer Grammer
Dad likes my food, but he probably thinks it’s too busy. He is a wonderful cook but only uses three ingredients. My mum rips out my articles and makes my recipes. – Yotam Ottolenghi
I don’t want to get too detailed and personal, but my parents got divorced when I was about nine. A lot of that had to do with my dad being on the road and that disconnect. – Thomas Rhett
I was so aware of the stage clothes versus the everyday-life clothes, and the extremeness of the stage clothes that my parents had designed. Even coming across my dad’s old Beatles suits from Savile Row and the history attached to them – the masculinity and simplicity compared to the ’70s glitz and glamour of Wings. – Stella McCartney
When I was a kid, ‘Blade Runner’ was my favorite movie. I remember seeing that when I was a little boy with my dad. – Tahmoh Penikett
I have mostly been terrified of listening to scary stories around a campfire. We camp a lot as a family, and at night my dad would try and tell us scary stories. This made eating s’mores difficult. The story would start with something like… ‘and the old man who lived in these woods…’ I would then run back into the camper terrified. – Willow Shields
I wasn’t sure how my dad would react. There was an agent sitting behind them and he told me he was embarrassed to watch the scenes. My parents have always been very open. They trust my decisions. – Shannon Elizabeth
I’m definitely a Tory. My dad was a Conservative councillor, and I spent years as a child knocking on doors with him. I’m a Tory because I’m passionate about business and enterprise. But I am also a compassionate Conservative. There should always be a net through which no one should fall. – Samantha Cameron
My dad has had a rare form of leukemia since I was in about 7th grade. But they’ve come up with some amazing drugs since then and he’s doing really well today. – Tom DeLonge
In my heart, I’m just a kid from the council houses. I can remember the old cottage and my dad coming round with the tin bath. I’m not a rich man. – Terry Pratchett
My father invented a cure for which there was no disease and unfortunately my mother caught it and died of it. – Victor Borge
