I was lucky enough myself to have been in Dad's Army for an episode.
My dad liked a lot of Motown, but I didn't listen to it until my teenage years.
Every dad who loves his daughter is not going to want her to go with the penniless slacker loser poet bum, when she could go out with someone who's successful.
My dad has ingrained that in me: 'Be accountable.'
My dad would always say, 'What can you do to make the world a better place?' Well, I can make people laugh.
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.
He was like a real dad, you know. We used to sit down with guitars and mess around.
It's hard to live up to The Beatles. When Wings toured, they got slated. Even Dad found it hard living up to The Beatles. I started out playing under an alias because I wanted to start quietly.
Everyone at school knew who my dad was. It made me a little self-conscious a little introverted because I had a lot of attention drawn towards me, but in a way I guess it gives you a little bit of a celebrity skin, even though I wasn't a celebrity.
My dad was a Navy munitions officer, and by the end of his career, he was a specialist in nuclear weapons.
Also, to be honest, my dad wanted me to be an athlete. And I think all sons want to prove something to their dad. So now, aged 35, I want to see what I can achieve physically.
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 was just a kid and I didn't have a dad. That's hard, because when you're a kid, you blame yourself for everything. And I blamed myself for him not being around, for my parents not being together.
My dad was a cotton buyer and cotton buyers always considered themselves superior to the rest of the world.
My dad in particular I tend to use - I call him 'The Brain.' If he's accessible, I'd rather put it through his brain. My wife, Melissa, maintains that the closer he is in proximity to me, the less I think for myself. And I think she's actually correc...
If I have a problem, stuff's going through my head, I feel like using, I usually go and talk to my dad... I decided to get sober a lot younger than he did. He first tried to get sober when he was like 32, I believe.
My first outdoor cooking memories are full of erratic British summers, Dad swearing at a barbecue that he couldn't put together, and eventually eating charred sausages, feeling brilliant.
I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.
My dad had a church of 90 people when I was born. It was just, over the years it continued to grow.
My father was so good-natured and had such a happy disposition. I've always confused him with Jimmy Stewart. So, think Jimmy Stewart. That's my dad.
I didn't want to have braces when I was a kid and I'm pretty sure my dad didn't want to pay for them.
