My mom and dad gave their kids the greatest gift of all - the gift of unconditional love. They cared deeply about who we would be, and much less about what we would do. Mitt Romney caredaddeeply Change image and share on social
I was eight when independence happened. I remember my mum and dad getting dressed up to go to the independence concert to go listen to Bob Marley. Independence was such a wonderful time; we had so many expectations of the kind of country we would become. The vision of the government then was a wonderful vision.

I wanted to be something and prove to girls in high school, and to my mum and dad, that I could be really... spectacular. Charlotte McKinney dadgirlhigh Change image and share on social
As a little kid, not only is my dad Jo-Jo White, but M. L. Carr is involved in the family, Red Auerbach is my godfather, and my stepmother was an Olympic-caliber sprinter. Athletes were all around. I happened to be a natural athlete. If I wasn't, it might have been hell. But I never got any pressure from my mom and dad to be an athlete. Brian J. White athleteauerbachcaliber share on social
Going to the theater is such a joyous experience. My dad would take my sister and me to plays when we were very young, like six or seven years old. Julia Roberts dadexperiencejoyous Change image and share on social
In 1996, I was the head coach at Brigham Young University. And I got a call from my dad, and he said my brother had been murdered by du Pont. And it just infuriated me to just no end. And I think I destroyed everything in my office. Mark Schultz brighambrothercall share on social
Now I see other kids and their parents, and I compare them to my dad. Our dad was a really normal father when he was with us. We would get grounded if we did something bad. He would ground us. He wouldn't call it grounding; he'd just say, 'You're on punishment.' Sometimes we'd be on punishment a lot. Paris Jackson badcallcompare share on social
'The Simpsons' was about children and married parents; 'Futurama' is about people in between; they're growing up and haven't settled down. Every other cartoon show seemed to be, you know, dumb dad, bratty kids. Matt Groening brattycartoonchild share on social
To those of you who are wearing ties, I think my dad would appreciate it if you took them off. Robert Moog dadtiewear Change image and share on social
I moved frequently because my dad was in the army, so I was always new in school. I think if you've ever done that, you know what it means to not matter in a room. I think it's a good experience for everyone to have, to feel like they're not noticed, because it teaches you to be empathetic. Julianne Moore armydadempathetic share on social
