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 baggagecarecareful share on social
The last thing I want my child to see is Dad running around in the middle of the pack. That would really upset me. And that would upset him. I would be embarrassed to take him to school with kids saying, 'Hey, how'd your dad do this weekend?' 'Well, he finished fifth or sixth'. Dan Wheldon childdadembarrass share on social
My dad came out of the Roosevelt era and the Depression. One person and one party made a difference in his life. That's what everybody forgot when they called my father and other people political bosses. Richard M. Daley bosscalldad share on social
As a dad, you are the Vice President of the executive branch of parenting. It doesn't matter what your personality is like, you will always be Al Gore to your wife's Bill Clinton. She feels the pain and you are the annoying nerd telling them to turn off the lights. Jim Gaffigan annoybillbranch share on social
I'm just naturally quite toned. My dad was like a body builder, so I've got my dad's body. Not all of it, thank God. Rebecca Mader bodybuilderdad Change image and share on social
I'm glad to have shown myself able to do other things rather than people thinking, 'Oh, he'll just do the same as his dad.' Dad was a brilliant actor, but it just so happened he was five foot five and a half, fat and bald. Rory Kinnear actorbaldbrilliant share on social
I come from an ordinary family - my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker - and we've always loved racing together. Sebastian Vettel carpenterdadfamily Change image and share on social
You see people you identify with, and you take pieces of people you like and shape who you are. Like, I sound just like my dad. But that's literally my vocal chords. I can't sound like anything else... I sound like him, but I act like myself. actchorddad share on social
My dad used to draw these great cartoon figures. His dream was being a cartoonist, but he never achieved it, and it kind of broke my heart. I think part of my interest in art had to do with his yearning for something he could never have. Kathryn Bigelow achieveartbreak share on social
I think I'm extremely vulnerable and that in some ways I seek out rejection. Never feeling like you're getting that pat on the back from dad is probably at the heart of that. Skeet Ulrich backdadextremely Change image and share on social
