I have a theory that I really want my kids to know - the only coloration that they make between dad being in films and reality is just a lot of people doing a lot of hard work. Eric Bana on dad
I hate being clean-shaven. My daughter gets very upset if I shave and says, 'Bring back the spikes, Dad.' Eric Bana on dad
My dad was a homicide cop in the gay neighborhood in the city when gay neighborhoods were desperate, depressing, sad places run by the mob. The only gay people he'd met when I came out to him were corpses. Dan Savage on dad

My dad was diagnosed with cancer, so we ended up burying him a year to the day that he was diagnosed. Seann William Scott on dad
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 on dad
My mother told me Homer Ditto was not my father. Nope. Mom had had a fling with some other guy who was my dad. Some dude who didn't stick around too long who Mom was happy to get rid of. She chose Homer, and Homer chose me, so he lent me his name even though I didn't have his blood. Beth Ditto on dad
If my Dad doesn't like you, you will know. My Mom is just too innocent to ever lie. She doesn't even cuss. Channing Tatum on dad

I am quite strict as a dad but I don't want to be censorious. Nick Clegg on dad
My dad's side of the family had lots of artists and musicians. There's an emotional, quite sentimental quality to Slavic culture. It's very open, it loves art, it loves music, it loves literature. It's very warm, it's very up, it's very down. I would celebrate that. Nick Clegg on dad
I say this as a young dad seeing children going into primary school: I don't think we should underestimate the formative effect on a child of those first years in primary school. Nick Clegg on dad
When I was really little I would sit in the back of my dad's car when he'd be playing old-school music. He'd turn down the music and turn around and I'd be singing and know all of the words but I didn't even know how to talk. From then on I've always wanted to be a singer. Leona Lewis on dad
I do love a bit of fashion. I grew up around a lot of it as my mum and dad had clothing stores so my mum was always designing a lot, and I definitely had that as an influence. Leona Lewis on dad
My dad is such a good man. You know how when you are a child you think your dad is invincible? Well, I still think that - he is so wise and everything I do I ask my dad's advice about first. Leona Lewis on dad
I feel like I've lived quite a sheltered life, like my mom and dad were quite protective of me. Leona Lewis on dad

I bought a house for my mom, I bought a house for my dad, I bought a house for my sister. Trey Parker on dad
I watched Italia '90 with my Mum and Dad and my brother, you know, leaping around the house when the penalties were on... It would be great to be part of that, to have that kind of impact. Steven Gerrard on dad
