Father Quotes

I was adopted by two amazing people: a Salvadoran mother and a white father who were incredibly supportive of me and my work. I am eternally grateful for them Picture Quote #1

My father was a big Bruce Lee fan. He’s Chinese-Hawaiian, and my mother is Chinese. He used to take us to all these really fantastical films with martial arts in them. And Bruce Lee was amazing Picture Quote #1

My mother was the most amazing person. She taught me to be kind to other women. She believed in family. She was with my father from the first day they met. All that I am, she taught me Picture Quote #1

I’m crazy about my father, he’s an amazing man, a real adventurer. He took us with him to travel all over the world. We were in places that were so remote, that white people hardly ever reach them Picture Quote #1

Michael and I had great role models. Though his father has passed away, his parents had an amazingly strong marriage, as do mine. Both weathered really tough times. For us it has been normal to stay together through difficulties. We grew up witnessing that firsthand Picture Quote #1

I don’t claim to be a particularly good father. I’m flawed, let’s say. I’ve certainly been affected by the experience of having kids... trying to be a father, at least. It’s an amazing process. It’s like songwriting: it’s a complete mystery to me. I don’t understand it - but I’ve certainly written about it Picture Quote #1

It takes an entire book to tell you what it was like. To see Robert De Niro play your father - it’s not a simple answer. To see Julianne Moore play your mother. To see Paul Dano play you - that’s an even more inscrutable question... he’s amazing, he’s totally amazing, but I can’t really say if he’s a good me or not Picture Quote #1

...Being a father is the most exciting, amazing thing that ever happened to me Picture Quote #1

Like the average American that I hang out with, and like my father before me, I raised all my children to respect tools and use them wisely and safely Picture Quote #1

Why, on my mother’s birthday, am I thinking about ‘Father Knows Best?’ At our house, mother knew best at least as often as father did, but then the title of the old sitcom, a homogenized portrait of American family life, was meant to be slightly sardonic Picture Quote #1

At the time I was writing ‘Weedflower,’ my friend Naomi Hirahara was writing a book about Japanese-American flower farmers. She knew quite a few elderly farmers and put me in touch with four or five of them who had been in camps during WWII. Some, like my father, were reluctant to talk about their experiences Picture Quote #1

Here was buried Thomas Jefferson Author of the Declaration of American Independence Of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom and Father of the University of Virginia Picture Quote #1

My father was a frustrated writer. I think he wanted to write the great American novel Picture Quote #1

My father is an expatriate American; he fell in love with New Zealand in his youth and never went home Picture Quote #1

For every hour a mother gets to herself, a father will demand five times that amount for drinking with friends and acting like an immature dipshit Picture Quote #1

Oh, Mr Coward, sir - I could never have an affair with you, because you remind me of my father! Picture Quote #1

I was angry about the fact that my father would beat my mother on a daily basis, that my mother would take it in turn and beat on me. I was an abused child. I was mad about all those things, very bitter and very angry Picture Quote #1

The only people I owe an apology to are my dead parents. Except my father because he’s still alive Picture Quote #1

My father was a veteran and my mother a schoolteacher. They taught me the value of a good job and an honest day’s work Picture Quote #1

My father died of brain cancer in 1991. I do not know anyone whose life has not been touched by the loss of a loved one to cancer. I wrote my book ‘Gracefully Gone’ about my father’s fight and my struggle growing up with an ill parent. I wrote it to help others know they are not alone in this all-too-often insurmountable war against cancer Picture Quote #1

I never liked my father. He really was a dullard and misanthrope. My mother and he were married for 22, years and it was an ill match. She encouraged me to be a writer. She opened her home to black friends, and this was the 1950s. She didn’t care later when I write about her Picture Quote #1

Being a father is the most important thing, if you ask me. It changed me as a person and gave me an all new life Picture Quote #1

My father, Oliver Hynes, was an educator. He was originally just a teacher, a very good one, but then he was promoted to be in charge of education for the entire area. He was always an inspirational teacher. He was my big personal supporter, always coming here for the Tony Awards. My mother, Carmel, was a homemaker Picture Quote #1

My mom had me when she was 16, and I was an only child, which is probably why I received a lot of love and didn’t miss that my father wasn’t around Picture Quote #1

I grew up as an only child with a single mother. Because we were poor and because I knew my father had emigrated from Syria, I imagined he looked like Omar Sharif Picture Quote #1

I was born in an elevator, and - as my mother said - naturally it was going down. She said, All I remember is telling your father, ‘That’s it! Never again!’ That’s why I’m an only child Picture Quote #1

I was an only child and I had a mother and father who were just - there wasn’t a straight man in the house, and I mean that in a very nice way. They were fun, and we would laugh a lot Picture Quote #1

My father is a very successful man in the corporate world, and I am his only son. He had certain dreams for me. I was scared to tell him that I wanted to be an actor Picture Quote #1

The only reason why I’m a Christian is because I’m a gift of the Father to the Son, not because of anything I’ve ever done Picture Quote #1
