A father's disappointment can be a very powerful tool.

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.

But the love of adventure was in father's blood.

I'm a father. It isn't just my life any more. I don't want my kid finding bottles in the house or seeing his father completely smashed.

My father never raised his hand to any one of his children, except in self-defense.

I never had a speech from my father 'this is what you must do or shouldn't do' but I just learned to be led by example. My father wasn't perfect.

I wanted to take up music, so my father bought me a blunt instrument. He told me to knock myself out.

My father wouldn't get us a TV, he wouldn't allow a TV in the house.

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

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.
