I have always thought of Walt Disney as my second father.
Employee fathers need to step up to the plate and put their family needs on the table.
My father wouldn’t get us a TV, he wouldn’t allow a TV in the house.
I was raised by free-spirited people, though my father gave me a very strong work ethic.
I’m a fun father, but not a good father. The hard decisions always went to my wife.
When a father, absent during the day, returns home at six, his children receive only his temperament, not his teaching.
One of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad.
As a little girl I used to daydream about my real father coming on a white horse to rescue me.
My first son Tony was born when I was only eighteen. I was a still a kid; I wasn’t ready to be a dad, so he was put up for adoption and went off to live with a family that could care for him.
Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that’s why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.
My dad was always in sales. My mom had a heart for the ages. Worked in recreation, doing rehabilitation in nursing homes. Very nice, practical folks who were very proud of me but had no inclination toward the stage in any way.
I’m half Telugu. My mom is Telugu and dad, a Maharashtrian. I was brought up in Gwalior. I was exposed to English, Hindi, and Marathi. I heard my mom speak to her family in Telugu, so I got the hang of it.
I’m not sure what the future holds but I do know that I’m going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said ‘Nic, it is what it is, it’s not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.’
I hope I can be as good of a father to my son as my dad was to me.
My dad is my best friend, my father, and my boss. When I do something that is exciting and he likes it, it feels three times as good as you can imagine.
My dad said to me growing up: ‘When all is said and done, if you can count all your true friends on one hand, you’re a lucky man.’
It’s always been a dream of mine to get somewhere and to have my mom and dad with me up there.
My dad said to me, ‘Work hard and be patient.’ It was the best advice he ever gave me. You have to put the hours in.
Dad is and always will be my living, breathing superhero.
I am very happy to say I look just like my dad. But mothers always think their children are prettier than they really are, and mine has always told me I look like Tom Cruise.
My dad’s father would take me to WWE shows when I was younger, and my other grandfather, my mom’s dad, would watch wrestling with me at the house. They just really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, they both passed away before I signed with WWE.
My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, ‘You’re tearing up the grass’; ‘We’re not raising grass,’ Dad would reply. ‘We’re raising boys.’
My dad always said, ‘Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.’
Listen to your mom and dad! They are almost always right, especially about boys.
Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.
