I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes no matter what you do for a living.
My dad's one of my biggest heroes. I also think Paul Newman's an inspiration. I know a lot of people say that but I love that he's a great role model and a humanitarian. I admire people who don't necessarily want to change the world but try to make it a better environment.
As a father I do everything my dad didn't do. My son Beau's birth changed my life.
And then before going back for my sophomore year I decided to change my major to arts and sciences and my dad cut a deal with me: He said if I'd quit school he'd pay my rent for the next three years as if I were in school.
We all have experiences in our lives that change us and we all learn from people like my dad but at the end of the day it's only us. And we're only responsible to make ourselves happy.
I am lucky to have had an attentive curious and loving dad and heart-smart down-to-earth gifted mother. They changed the outlooks of their own lives and have never forgotten the people and organizations that helped them dream bigger than their circumstances should have allowed.
I've never been a hands-on dad. I'm not ashamed to admit it but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.
Losing my parents was the most crushing thing that ever happened to me. I lost my dad when I was 26 and it changed my life entirely.
My dad always said 'Don't worry what people think because you can't change it.'
It often takes more courage to change one's opinion than to keep it.
The problem is when you are writing something in retrospective it needs a lot of courage not to change or you will forget a certain reality and you will just take in consideration your view today.
Rosa Parks' courage determination and tenacity continue to be an inspiration to all those committed to non-violent protest and change nearly half a century later.
Those who are rooted in the depths that are eternal and unchangeable and who rely on unshakeable principles face change full of courage courage based on faith.
I think that people need to have the courage of their convictions and not be trying to fool people into thinking that they've changed overnight.
The people of South Carolina support conservatives who are trying to push real change and the people of South Carolina expect their presidential candidates to back them up when they show courage.
I've done four other films since 'Submarine ' so that's quite cool. It's just good to have people respect your work I've never had that before. Yeah my life has changed crazy. I'm a kid from a small town in south Wales I play my Xbox usually and all that sort of stuff and it's a whole new world.
White people couldn't do black music back in the day because they weren't funky or bad enough. They weren't from the ghettoes but hip-hop and R&B changed all of that because white kids want to be down with it. They wanted to learn it so they studied the culture. It's kind of a cool thing because we shouldn't be so separate.
What we do every night is we change out the set list as much as we can to make sure that (fans can) go home and tell their friends they experienced something unique and cool.
If I took over the 'Glamour' offices for a day I would put Joe Pesci on the cover. I would say 'We've got to change all these magazines a little bit. We have to bring out a different version of what is like cool. You know what's winning. Joe Pesci Burt Reynolds.'
The cool part about working for Disney is that they've allowed me to be a change agent.
I don't think a show's ever changed networks in the middle of the season before but it was cool because they gave us those extra couple years of life that was necessary to get us to syndication.
If you meet a girl you meet a girl. It's normal so if you exchange numbers whatevs it's cool.
When I see my staff take a step back because I've lost my cool about something food-related I say never apologise for your standards. If someone doesn't meet them then you should explain that and that you want it changed. I want my staff to be like that too.
If I wasn't even famous or had any success I would still wake up and put tons of make-up on and put on a cool outfit. That's always been who I've been my whole life so that's never gonna change. I love fashion. I love getting dressed up. I love Halloween too.
