My dad had a movie theater so I was there every night.

I'm really, really lucky. I was given my dad's good genes.

I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me.

At times I've got a really big ego. But I'll tell you the best thing about me. I'm some guy's dad I'm some little gal's dad. When I die, if they say I was Annie's husband and Zachary John and Anna Kate's father, boy, that's enough for me to be remembered by. That's more than enough.

I realised I could run after finding out that my dad used to run and it gave me the morale that if he did it then maybe I could also run.

I get around OK with a toolbox. As a kid, I picked up skills following my dad through the oil fields of Oklahoma and West Texas. My wife Janine is hard to impress, but she does think it's cool when I fix things around the house.

My dad is a really honest, hardworking, straight guy.

I had a dad you know.

And I remember leaving my place in L.A. and - my father is a big fight fan - and I said, 'Dad, I got a couple of days off and I'm getting ready to go to Houston to sign to fight Muhammad Ali.

When you get pure joy out of 'being' rather than 'doing' or 'seeing,' that's when you realize how big and unexplainable some things are and being a dad is one of those very few things.
