You have to respect your parents. They are giving you an at-bat. If you're an entrepreneur and go into the family business you want to grow fast. Patience is important. But respect the other party... My dad and I pulled it off because we really respect each other.

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.

When you're shooting a film you really don't get to be a dad and you don't really get to be a husband. You don't really exist at all. But I do drag my family with me on location whenever I can.

My humanitarian work evolved from being with my family. My mom my dad they really set a great example for giving back. My mom was a nurse my dad was a school teacher. But my mom did a lot of things for geriatrics and elderly people. She would do home visits for free.

My family belongs to a tennis club in Valencia California so I always go there. I play a lot of tennis with my dad and swim. And I like to go to the gym there.

Look I've got incredible pride for my family. I've absolutely fallen into that cliche of a dad who could just happily talk about my daughter endlessly.

My dad's whole family is in Madras and I was born in America so we didn't have that big Indian community. I don't really have anything interesting to say about it. When I talk about it people are like 'meh let's talk about something else.'

My dad was a militant atheist or is a militant atheist. My mum was sort of bought up in a religious family because she was a Protestant from Ireland but wasn't especially religious.

The problem with me as far as getting married and having a family is that my comedy is so important to me. So I don't know if I'll ever be as good a dad as my dad.

We all started snowboarding in the beginning as a family just to be closer together go on trips. It was our soccer but instead of Dad yelling at me from the sideline he is there riding with me and hitting the jumps even before I am hitting them.

My dad would give me $10 which is a lot of money when you're 9 to sing at church on tables at restaurants at family functions just about anywhere.

I want to be a young dad. By 25 or 26 I want to see myself like married or start looking for a family.

I mean I look at my dad. He was twenty when he started having a family and he was always the coolest dad. He did everything for his kids and he never made us feel like he was pressured. I know that it must be a great feeling to be a guy like that.

I'm very at ease and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been and I feel that's happening to me. I'm rather surprised at who I am because I'm actually like my dad!

When I was younger my family would go camping and fishing on our ranches. My dad loves being around all kinds of animals. He's the one who got me to be a really big animal lover.

Apparently one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin.

My dad had been born in Mexico and his family had to leave during the Mexican revolution.

Dad kept us out of school but school comes and goes. Family is forever.

Being a father to my family and a husband is to me much more important than what I did in the business.

Employee fathers need to step up to the plate and put their family needs on the table.

That is the thankless position of the father in the family - the provider for all and the enemy of all.

The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one particularly if he plays golf.

And as a child I was filled with passionate admiration for acts of civic courage I had seen performed by an elderly military doctor who was a friend of my family.

People think I have courage. The courage in my family are my wife Pam my three daughters here Nicole Jamie LeeAnn my mom who's right here too.
