I've become a less brave traveller since I became a dad, but in the past I was more foolhardy than brave. David Mitchell on dad
My dad was working abroad, in Iraq, and he was a doctor. We used to go and visit him, in Baghdad, off and on. For the first ten years of my life, we used to go backwards and forwards to Baghdad, so that was quite amazing. I spent a lot of time traveling around the Middle East. Andy Serkis on dad
I stayed in Baghdad every summer until I was 14. My dad's sister is still there, but many of my relatives have managed to get out.

The worst advice I ever received from my dad was to play by the book. Dimebag Darrell on dad
The only time I think about life beyond F1 is when I contemplate becoming a dad. But there's no way that's going to happen while I'm still racing.

But you know, my dad called me the laziest white kid he ever met. When I screamed back at him that he was putting down a race of people to call me lazy, his answer was that's not what he was doing, and that I was also the dumbest white kid he ever met. Norman Lear on dad
