I pop gum. My parents get so annoyed with me. I know my dad wishes he never taught me how to do that.
When my dad needed a shirt ironed, he would yell downstairs to my mother, who would drop everything and iron his shirt.
My kids are not that interested in my movie career, by the way. My son, in particular, never talks about it. He just wants me as his dad.
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.
I've always been a sucker for a dog called an Alaskan Malamute. It's like a little husky... my dad had one when he was younger.
On the one hand, I've had such a normal upbringing with my mum, who has kept me grounded, but on the other, the wild experiences through my dad.
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.
I couldn't be a cameraman or a designer or an actor - I have to be a director because I learned how to do that from my dad.
I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.
My dad took me and my brother to see Corrosion of Conformity. All I remember was that there was a dude swinging a chain in the mosh pit, and the bouncers were dragging him out.
I don't think there's any real motivation for somebody to be a truck driver. Mine was simple; dad was a truck driver, I wanted to own one.
I loved theatre and film when I was growing up in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. My mum's a reflexologist and my dad's a corporate financier.
My dad was a bass player in a Latino band when I was growing up. So we always had musical instruments in our basement.
Anytime I was in Memphis with my dad and at the house, I was happy. That was, like, a given. It was what I lived for. And I still feel the same excitement and warmth.
The main thing is that the 'C' is silent, so it kind of starts with a 'Z.' Z-O-O-K-RIE. It's Ukrainian, on my dad's side.
Oh boy, I grew up hearing Sam Cooke, The Soul Stirrers, Mahalia Jackson, sitting on Mahalia Jackson's lap in my dad's church.
My dad was quite a forbidding figure. I realise now that that was mainly because he worked so hard. He wasn't unkind, but he was a presence.
My dad heard of a studio on the radio, and it was advertised as a place for kids to meet kids, and it was actually a studio, and that's where I met my manager and agent.
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.
I come from a very working class background. My dad worked in a factory for 40 years. We all put ourselves through school.
I'm a soccer dad at heart. I want five kids, and I want to get married. I want to coach Little League.
