My childhood was defined by my father's absence. His presence looms so large. Up until the age of 18, he was a superstar for me.
I shot my first lion at the age of 14 when a pride threatened my father's livestock while he was away on holiday.
I think the Mother is gradually revealing itself to me and taking over. But it is not the Mother alone. It is the Mother and the Father, the male and the female, sort of gradually having their marriage.
I'm more like my father, personality-wise. But my mom and I get alone really well - obviously, because my mom and my dad get along so well.
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.
I just write the characters the way I see them. And maybe that's because I'm surrounded by the most amazing men,from my father to my husband to all of my brothers. They are true heroes!
My father opened a restaurant. It's so amazing... it's so freaking delicious, but I'm telling you I gain five pounds every time I go in there.
My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.
The anger that Uncle Junior has comes from my background. My father was the son of an Italian immigrant, and I've seen the fire of the Italian temperament. It can be explosive sometimes in ways that are both funny and tragic.
I grew up looking at my father as to how to behave. In watching him I grasped so many things. His own temperament was of a calm person. He was very composed and I never saw anger in him. To me, that was fascinating.
I was brought up on art. My father thought I had a great hand at art and sent me to art school. But he did not want me to become a photographer.
When Socrates was about 30, and his father was long dead, he was still pursuing the art of sculpture, but from necessity, and without much inclination.
I didn't want to be the kind of man that my father was. So I've tried, my entire life, to be the complete and utter opposite of that. And it has served not only the art well, but I think the audience well.
Soap?" "School of America in Paris" he explains. "SOAP". Nice. My father sent me here to be cleansed.
Yeah, my father is an egotistical douchebag," he says roughly. "My name literally means Jonathan empire.
Writing was a spiritual exercise for my father, the only thing he really believed in.
If I guess your secret, will you tell me if I'm right?" His father laughed but didn't answer.
I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. John 15:1
One, you moved here with your father, which means your a daddy's girl. No girl leaves their mother unless they are.
The Father is always intimately entwined in our struggles". ~R. Alan Woods [2013]
My father always said that too many words cheapened the value of a man's speech.
