I watch a lot of movies. I've watched movies since I was a kid. My dad brought me to the theater once a week. Always - it was a must. So I think that influenced me a lot to be an actor.

My dad is a really honest, hardworking, straight guy.
— Joe Lando
I never picked up a guitar as a kid, partly because my dad didn't want the noise in our little back-to-back in Sheffield.
— Joe Cocker
I appreciate what I've achieved, and nearly all of that is because of my dad. He pushed me to train harder than I would have done if he wasn't there to discipline me.
— Joe Calzaghe
When your dad comes back from a faraway land with bows and arrows and spears wrapped up in a carpet... that's cool.
— Joe Alwyn
As observatory architect, my dad was partly concerned with the maintenance of them all. I used to go with him on site visits quite often, from age 7 or 8. I have memories of crawling through the rafters of the old building, trying to find where the leak in the roof was.
— Jocelyn Bell Burnell

I love my mum and dad, but they were shocking providers and carers.
— Jimmy Barnes
My dad was a prize fighter in his youth. My boxing skills are very limited. I did train for most of my youth but couldn't really see the point of getting punched in the head. I'm a lover, not a fighter, but I do enjoy the sport in its purest form. As a child, my heroes were my dad and Muhammad Ali.
My earliest sporting memory is probably going judo when I was about 6 or 7 years old. My dad and my brother did it for a couple of years when I was young, in Nigeria.
— Jimi Manuwa
Hello, friends.' I've had fun with that expression to satisfy the cynics, but it comes from the heart, and I don't apologize for it. Like my dad - for whom I designed the expression during the 2002 PGA Championship, when he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease - I've never met a stranger.
— Jim Nantz
My mother and dad loved music, were very much into music.
— Jim Foglesong

— Jihae
I get on all right with my parents. But I don't see them very much. They split up when I was eight. I stayed with my mum, but I felt it was a bit soft with her. I could do whatever I liked, and I wasn't getting nowhere, so I went to stay with my dad.
— Joe Strummer
When I was a boy, I used to pull a big cross saw with my dad. He'd use his right hand, so I'd have to use my left.
— Joe Frazier
There were times people tried to get me to change trainers, but I stuck with my dad.
My dad used to have an expression - 'It is the lucky person who gets up in the morning, puts both feet on the floor, knows what they are about to do, and thinks it still matters.'
— Joe Biden
When I was growing up, my dad was away a lot. He did a lot of work in crisis zones, places like Uganda or Rwanda.
My dad had a flock of sheep, which he used to milk, and then my mum used to make cheese and yogurt out of the sheep's milk and sell it. It was kind of an unusual upbringing, really.
— Joanne Froggatt
A lot of people ask why I don't talk about my dad, and I want to, I just don't have that many stories. When he moved out, he moved to a different state, so it was just my mom and I.
— Jo Koy
I went to Brooklyn College as an education major. It was a big deal in the family, but really, I was living for Mom and Dad.
— Jimmy Smits
My dad used to work at IBM, so we used to get discounts on computers and stuff, and I did have a ThinkPad.
— Jimmy Fallon

— Jessie Reyez
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.
— Joe Manganiello
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.
— Joe Dempsie
Enzo, my dad, supports Juventus, so that's my team and, obviously, Italy, who I've been fortunate enough to see win two World Cups.
My dad always said, 'Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.'
A movie that makes me cry every time is 'Billy Elliot.' That scene where he's dancing in the hall, and his dad walks in. And the first time his dad can see how amazing he is dancing, but he's so conflicted with kind of his own feelings towards it. Oh, it's so emotional.
— Jodie Comer
Dad was a great advocate for social justice and a very quiet advocate of the essential Labor values.
— Joan Kirner
I spent the summers packing toothpaste at a factory, working where my dad worked, and everyone else had gone on a gap year!
— Jo Cox

It was okay for Wayne Gretzky's dad, for instance, to give him a hockey stick, or Joe Montana's dad to give him a football, or Larry Bird's dad to give him a basketball, but it wasn't okay for Gloria Connors to give her son a tennis racquet.
— Jimmy Connors
My dad was a quiet assassin. He was really charming and smiley and softly spoken, but he could knock you out in a second.
My mum and dad came from lower-working-class Glasgow, which was tough. Literally, if you see a cat there with a tail, it's a tourist.

— Jimmer Fredette
My dad had nothing but friends in his life.
All I want to do is be a good dad, but I'm pretty bad at it.
— Jim Gaffigan
The beauty of where I'm from - this small little town called Wallburg, North Carolina - I didn't have a TV; I was out playing ball with my dad, shooting clay pigeons.
— Jill Wagner
My dad has a certain spirit, a twinkle in his eye, someone who can set a certain standard for players but also convey it with humor. What I learned from him is that coaching is, more than anything, about connecting with people.
