When you break it all down, my punk rock is my dad's blues. It's music from the underground, and it's real, and it's written for the downtrodden in uncertain times. Frank Iero bluebreakdad Change image and share on social
But I honestly don't read critics. My dad reads absolutely everything ever written about me. He calls me up to read ecstatic reviews, but I always insist that I can't hear them. If you give value to the good reviews, you have to give value to the criticism. Fiona Apple absolutelycallcritic share on social
My dad read, I think, the Perry Mason mysteries and Zane Grey and some humor compendiums... And then at one point, the bookmobile started coming to town. That was really cool. I mean, that was when I read my first Raymond Carver story. I think that was probably 1969 or so. I must have been 13. Tom Drury bookmobilecarvercome share on social
My dad talks about the times when we'd play backyard cricket: If I got bowled out, I'd just refuse to let go of the bat and swing it at anyone who tried to take it away from me. I like to think that's been tempered a bit over the years. Chris Hemsworth backyardbatbite share on social
My dad liked to boil a squirrel head and suck the brains out the nose. Smaller than a chicken, bigger than a rat. Beth Ditto bigboilbrain Change image and share on social

My mom and my dad were married 56 years, and the fact that I reconciled with my dad I think made their marriage a little bit better as well. Larry Elder bitedadfact Change image and share on social
Now that I'm a dad, I'm practicing what I call 'one- handed cooking,' because I've got something more important in my other arm. I'm whipping up lots of frittatas and omelets. Curtis Stone armcallcook Change image and share on social
My dad is from Panama; he came to the U.S. in 1971. He came to study chemical engineering at the University of Delaware. He thought he would go back, and then he met my mom here. I was born and mostly raised in Delaware. Cristina Henriquez backbearchemical share on social
My family, they're story tellers. My mom is Irish, and my dad is Italian. In my family, we weren't allowed to watch TV while we ate - we had to sit around the table and tell stories about our day. Meg Cabot allowdadday Change image and share on social
