I would never have done what I’d done if I’d considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.
Father told me that if I ever met a lady in a dress like yours, I must look her straight in the eyes.
My father was the guy on the block who said hi to everyone.
My grandfather, along with Carnegie, was a pioneer in philanthropy, which my father then practiced on a very large scale.
That is the thankless position of the father in the family – the provider for all, and the enemy of all.
As Daddy said, life is 95 percent anticipation.
I wanted to be a forest ranger or a coal man. At a very early age, I knew I didn’t want to do what my dad did, which was work in an office.
I was raised by free-spirited people, though my father gave me a very strong work ethic.
Feels good to try, but playing a father, I’m getting a little older. I see now that I’m taking it more serious and I do want that lifestyle.
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.
