So much of my aesthetic was formed by my dad. Ron Perlman on dad
My dad wanted to name me after Rainier Maria Rilke, the poet. Rainn Wilson on dad
My dad was always such a frustrated artist. He always worked very hard to support his family, doing a bunch of ridiculous jobs. He wanted to be a painter, but then he also wrote science-fiction novels in his spare time. Rainn Wilson on dad
The founder of the Mona Foundation actually knew my dad for years, and the more I learned about it, the more I realized I really found the perfect charity. It sponsors schools and educational initiatives all over the planet. Rainn Wilson on dad
I had bohemian parents in Seattle in the last '60s living in a houseboat. My dad wrote science fiction novels and painted big murals and oil paintings. Rainn Wilson on dad
As a father now, I wouldn't do what my dad did, because it left me feeling emotionally unstable as a kid. But he didn't do the things he did out of selfishness or malice. Anthony Kiedis on dad
I know my dad is a big Internet freak, and he's been known to be a Wikileaker. Anthony Kiedis on dad
In a school where everyone is famous or rich or whatever, you have a culture, 'What does your dad do?' 'What does your mom do?' Cynthia Nixon on dad
I think 'Family Guy' and 'American Dad' have definitely staked out their own style and territory, and now the accusations are coming that 'The Simpsons' is taking jokes from 'Family Guy.' And I can tell you, that ain't the case. Matt Groening on dad
I grew up in the world of bad television, on my dad's sets and then as a young schmuck on dating shows and so on. George Clooney on dad
My mum always told me I was precious, while my dad always told me I was worthless. I think that's a good grounding for a balanced life. Alan Cumming on dad
I used to have a silk dressing gown an uncle bought in Japan and when I came downstairs in it, my dad used to call me Davinia. There was never embarrassment about that kind of thing. My sister used to dress me up a lot. She thought I was a little doll. David Walliams on dad
I think it's easiest to teach by example. My dad didn't tell us to work hard we just saw how hard he worked. I know I have shortcomings - like a short fuse - but I've learned you can't come home from a long day of work and snap at the kids. Chris O'Donnell on dad
I had lost relationships with my dad, my brother and sister and I was just like, you know what, this is definitely the time to just get it together and so that's what I did. Nicole Richie on dad

I had the opportunity to go to law school, and my dad, who was an accountant, couldn't believe I wanted to walk away from that and start cooking. Curtis Stone on dad
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 on dad
My dad has been married to his wife for 15 years and wherever he goes there better be a seat for her. I like real couples that tell you how to get through on Wednesdays when you're just at the end of your rope - the ones who really know how to make it through. We have to stop looking at Hollywood couples because you're going to get disappointed. Sherri Shepherd on dad
My sisters have been baptized and my dad is a deacon at his church now. Sadly my mother passed away but what I can say is that the Jehovah Witnesses took very good care of her up until she died. Sherri Shepherd on dad
My dad worked two jobs and moved us to the suburbs, and just being a black person, I went through a lot of racism and being called names and being bullied every single day. And it was hard. I didn't have any friends. Sherri Shepherd on dad
