But the Western is a wonderful genre because it is usually a story of a lone hero fighting against corruption in a dangerous world.  (Granddad Quotes) My granddad was a hard worker, and my dad is, too. It was instilled in me as a kid. I never got pocket money; I had to earn it. I had two paper rounds before school, not just one. Wherever I worked, whether it was at football, in the pub, I’d do whatever was asked of me - and more.  (Granddad Quotes) My granddad always said he wanted to make me an England player.

It never occurred to my granddad that he would enjoy work. He hated it from the day he walked through the factory gates at 14 to when he left at 65.  (Granddad Quotes) My friend’s granddad died of prostate cancer and it had a profound effect on me. So when I was presented with the opportunity to speak out, I had to take it. This is a life threatening issue for men; it happens every day. The more you know, the better your chances are of dealing with it if the worst were to happen.  (Granddad Quotes) I vividly remember my first ‘Superman’ comic, which my granddad bought me when I was about 7. From that point on, all I wanted to do is draw comics. And specifically, superhero and science fiction comics. Basically I used to copy comic books, and draw my own comics on scrap paper.  (Granddad Quotes) Most of the time, if you ask a kid who’s their best friend, it’s usually a classmate or their neighbor or something, but for me, it was my granddad. Everybody knew him - they called him Mr. Jones.  (Granddad Quotes) My maternal granddad, Leonard, was full of amazing stories. He was an orphan, with 11 or 12 brothers and sisters, and he used to tell us about growing up near the Irrawaddy river and how one brother was eaten by a crocodile.  (Granddad Quotes) I had a huge imagination. My granddad says I was a bit of a Walter Mitty character  (Granddad Quotes) I grow as many of our vegetables as I can, because my granddad was a professional gardener, and it’s in the blood  (Granddad Quotes) My friend’s granddad died of prostate cancer and it had a profound effect on me.

When I expressed a desire to become a graphic designer, I was not stopped  (Granddad Quotes) Knitwear can play a vital part in layering. The simplicity of a lightweight cardigan makes it one of the best ways to layer outfits. I love granddad cardis for winter, worn over a vintage lace shirt, waistcoat and full skirt with slouchy boots  (Granddad Quotes) Many forms, sizes and colors, I think there are heroes in sports, in life... It would be cliché to say my dad, my granddad. I think I’m a fan of people who were brave, my aunt, my grandmother, those are my heroes  (Granddad Quotes)
