- My dad was the manager at the 45,000-acre ranch, but he owned his own 1,200-acre ranch, and I owned four cattle that he gave to me when I graduated from grammar school, from the eighth grade. And those cows multiplied, and he kept track of them for years for me. And that was my herd.

- Katy Perry on Dad
- My dad's a beautiful man, but like a lot of Mexican men, or men in general, a lot of men have a problem with the balance of masculinity and femininity - intuition and compassion and tenderness - and get overboard with the macho thing. It took him a while to become more, I would say, conscious, evolved.
- Carlos Santana on Dad
- My dad's a bodybuilder. My whole life I've been taught to train the hard way. I believe in earning strength, not buying it. My grandfather raised me old school: In baseball, you work for whatever you get.

- Dean Norris on Dad
- My dad's family were pretty working class, actually.
- Dan Stevens on Dad

- Alex Pettyfer on Dad

- Tony Visconti on Dad
- My dad's side of the family had lots of artists and musicians. There's an emotional, quite sentimental quality to Slavic culture. It's very open, it loves art, it loves music, it loves literature. It's very warm, it's very up, it's very down. I would celebrate that.
- Nick Clegg on Dad
- My dad's supportive of all my endeavors.
- Georgia Jagger on Dad

- Mindy Kaling on Dad
- My Dad, a small-town lawyer, was also named Paul. Until we lost him when I was 16, he was a gentle presence in my life. I like to think he'd be proud of me and my sister and brothers, because I'm sure proud of him and of where I come from, Janesville, Wisconsin.
- My dad, bless him, was a musician. And his dad had thought that his music was rubbish.

- Amy Sedaris on Dad
