My grandfather was a lawyer, my dad was a lawyer, my mum was a lawyer, I got an uncle who's a lawyer, I got cousins that are lawyers.
Dad sometimes sends me texts saying, 'Just heard you on the radio, thumbs up', or whatever. So that's pretty cute.
I have to remind my dad, 'Journalists - no matter how many cigars they smoke with you - are not your friends, so don't talk to them.'
My dad was fiscally conservative, and I was influenced by that. He didn't believe in spending more than you had because it gets you into trouble.
I grew up not liking my father very much. I never saw him cry. But he must have. Everybody cries.
When I was a kid I went and saw Bill Cosby with my dad, and I remember sitting there and laughing so hard.
My dad's got a brilliant eye for scripts 'cos he's a literary agent. He and my agent read a load of scripts and filter them.
My dad was an actor, so he would try and put me off and say, 'Come on, you've got to go to university first.'
I hate being clean-shaven. My daughter gets very upset if I shave and says, 'Bring back the spikes, Dad.'
I guess I knew my dad was into photography, so a part of me was interested in picking it up to understand him a little better.
My dad didn't want me to play guitar. He played piano, so I chose that. And I ended up loving it.
My dad was quiet, angry, shut down. So my thing is: I express everything that's there. I want to get it all out.
Dad built houses and when they were sold, he moved on to a new town, so I know a lot about my native state.
All the records I've put out have had either artwork that I did while I was young or something that my Dad painted.
I was obsessed with clowns. My dad had to get rid of them. I thought there were clowns under my bed for years.
My dad gave me my first bike at 16. I soon fell off and was in a wheelchair for weeks. I haven't fallen since.
My dad became a soap opera actor, and I was an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't audition. It was nepotism all the way.
I remember my dad working with me on breaking down my script and writing out a back story for my character and all that stuff.
My dad saw my husband's boss at a conference, and he said to stop paying my husband until we produce children.
My dad is a minister, and my mum is a worker with the less fortunate and the disabled. They're Nigerian natives. Their first language is Yoruba, and their second language is English.
Acting careers don't come out fully formed - not unless your name is Jaden Smith and your dad has done it all.
