There's sometimes a weird benefit to having an alcoholic, violent father. He really motivated me in that I never wanted to be anything like him.
I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father's equal, and I never loved any other man as much.
It's no surprise that I ended up in sportscasting. I lived this world with my father, Mike Storen. Dad was a sports executive for most of my childhood.
I'm more comfortable with whatever's wrong with me than my father was whenever he felt he failed or didn't measure up to the standard he set.
When I was a boy, my own dad told me in a smiling and wistful way that it's a wise man that knows his own father.
When a father, absent during the day, returns home at six, his children receive only his temperament, not his teaching.
I always wanted to be a father. I have a beautiful relationship with my dad and beautiful memories. I always knew I was going to have a family.
I would never have done what I'd done if I'd considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.
Just like my father, I've always loved education. In school I was a member of the honor society.
My father had very little formal education.
I just thank my father and mother, my lucky stars, that I had the advantage of an education in the humanities.
You always bump into politics in life, and as a man, I'm party to a number of environmental issues that concern me first and foremost, as a man, as a father.
I obviously have a great love and appreciation of jewelry, thanks to my mother, much to the dismay of both my father and my boyfriends.
One of my great values that my father intuited, and indirectly taught me, is that you should always have a plan but be open to opportunity.
I always wanted to be a father and thought it would be great, but it just took the right woman and the right time to make it all happen.
My father was a soldier and my mother was a great mover. She once counted up how many places she had lived in during the first 25 years of her marriage and it came to 20.
My father was a guitar player, and I was raised with a super high standard of what good guitar playing was.
My father had a good sense of humour about a lot of things, including life, which I think I inherited.
I was an outcast growing up with a bunch of Christian people. My father didn't go to church, and that was not good news if you lived right in the middle of it.
I have no doubt that I'd be a marvelous father. Maybe not when they're tiny, but when they're a little bit older, I think I'd be rather good.
Everyone's unique; no one's ever alike. But my son has the same good cheer as my father. He's capable of making a room happy with a few words.
