My father was something of a rainbow-chaser.

So my father was a person who never lied to me. If I had a question he answered it. I knew a lot of things at a young age because I was intrigued.

Fathers in today's modern families can be so many things.

My father was never anti-anything in our house.

Father or stepfather - those are just titles to me. They don't mean anything.

I wasn't anything special as a father. But I loved them and they knew it.

I inherited that calm from my father who was a farmer. You sow you wait for good or bad weather you harvest but working is something you always need to do.

The surprising thing about fatherhood was finding my inner mush. Now I want to share it with the world.

It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life.

A dramatic thing the first time you stand up to your dad.

My father taught me that the only way you can make good at anything is to practice and then practice some more.

Being a father being a friend those are the things that make me feel successful.

There's sometimes a weird benefit to having an alcoholic violent father. He really motivated me in that I never wanted to be anything like him.

Every parent is at some time the father of the unreturned prodigal with nothing to do but keep his house open to hope.

I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.

To him that waits all things reveal themselves provided that he has the courage not to deny in the darkness what he has seen in the light.

Greatness in the last analysis is largely bravery - courage in escaping from old ideas and old standards and respectable ways of doing things.

If I am to be known for anything I would like it to be for encouraging Canadians for knowing a little bit about their daily extraordinary courage. And for wanting that courage to be recognized.

If we can't have the courage to tell our constituents hey we've got to cut back then if we can point to something and say I would like to vote for more benefits for you but this balanced budget amendment or statutory spending cap or whatever the device is is preventing me from doing it.

There has to be this pioneer the individual who has the courage the ambition to overcome the obstacles that always develop when one tries to do something worthwhile especially when it is new and different.

In our film profession you may have Gable's looks Tracy's art Marlene's legs or Liz's violet eyes but they don't mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage.

I like so much wearing heels legs look so much better everything looks better. But it's only recently I've had the courage to do that.

But steel bars have never yet kept out a mob it takes something a good deal stronger: human courage backed up by the consciousness of being right.

I'm not a fighter but I would love to be a boxer because I love the courage and toughness. I mean there can be nothing more terrifying than walking into an arena and looking at Mike Tyson in the ring.
