My dad always used to tell me that if they challenge you to an after-school fight, tell them you won't wait-you can kick their ass right now.

I'm a dad, and I no longer see a way for my kids to even inherit the money that I'm making, let alone go out there, have an idea, and create it in their own lifetime.

I like all the angels around because they protect me and my daughter. I mean, her Dad's an angel.

My dad never blew anything up, but he probably had friends who did. He and my mom have always preached that the pen is mightier than a Molotov cocktail.

Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today.

Going to the theater is such a joyous experience. My dad would take my sister and me to plays when we were very young, like six or seven years old.

My dad's a beautiful man, but like a lot of Mexican men, or men in general, a lot of men have a problem with the balance of masculinity and femininity - intuition and compassion and tenderness - and get overboard with the macho thing. It took him a while to become more, I would say, conscious, evolved.

My Dad is my hero.

I can definitely say the older I've got the better I've become at being a dad and a husband.

My dad always said, 'Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.'
