I've also just finished filming the role of Robert Brown in 'Just William,' which is due to transmit on BBC One at Christmas.
One Christmas my father kept our tree up till March. He hated to see it go. I loved that.
The Swedish Christmas is definitely unique, even throughout Scandinavia. Like Christmas everywhere, it's a very family-centered holiday.
My younger brother will remember that he received a transistor radio for Christmas. I took it apart and it never worked again.
My dad keeps joking about sneaking into my grandparents' house and switching out their HBO for PBS so they think I'm on 'Downton Abbey.'
Dad sometimes sends me texts saying, 'Just heard you on the radio, thumbs up', or whatever. So that's pretty cute.
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?
Watching my dad, Ralph Lauren, design clothes when I was young, I was always inspired.
My dad saw my husband's boss at a conference, and he said to stop paying my husband until we produce children.
My dad and my uncles owned a bar outside of Cincinnati. I worked there growing up, mopping floors, waiting tables.
I grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida. My dad took me hunting, trapping and fishing when I was a kid.
Every year, dads will dress up as Santa and try to surprise their kids by coming down the chimney, and every year, a dad gets stuck and dies.
When I was a child, I had wax in my ears. Dad didn't take me to the doctor, he used me as a night light.
My dad worked two jobs his whole life, and so I told him he's the reason I have 20 jobs.
My dad was dean of fine arts at the university. I was casting bronzes in the school foundry. I was using the university as a playground.
Father told me that if I ever met a lady in a dress like yours, I must look her straight in the eyes.
My mom is a very warm, typical sort of Jewish-mother type. And my dad has a somewhat, um, different personality.
My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I've got two uncles who are in their 90s now.
I have the rare privilege of talking to my dad every night at 10 p.m. and hearing about what he did that day.
The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.
I'd be bored to death if I spent all my time with other businesspeople, bankers and lawyers.
