I got my first instrument at Christmas when I was three or four. My dad and mom got me a mandolin. It was the only instrument that fit me because I was so small. I went straight from that into drums when I was six and then started playing guitar when I was seven or eight.
I did my first contest, and I got third, and my dad was, like, 'Wow, she has potential.' And I went back when I was 7, and I won. And my dad's like, 'All right,' and then he dropped everything.

Ever since I knew Dad did pentathlon, I wanted to do it as well. I have seen all his old photos, and he still has his Olympic riding jacket, and that makes this even more special.
— Chloe Esposito
My dad gave me a haircut... and it wasn't a very good one. When I went out of the house, my friends got on my case and said it looked like someone put a chili bowl over my head and cut around it.
— Chili Davis
My mom and dad met at U. Conn., and their lives couldn't have been more different in terms of their upbringing.

Most of Charlotte's character is really who she is. A lot of who Ashley is is Charlotte and the same with my dad. It's not like I'm the Joker.
— Charlotte Flair
I didn't want to hurt my parents' feelings about how hard certain things were in my 20s, how hard it was when my dad left my senior year before I went to college.
Life is different than it was in the Nineties. I'm a dad, and there are other things I have to get done in an afternoon than just being an artist.
— Chris Robinson
My grandmother was an actress too. In the thirties and forties she was under contract with Universal Studios. Crazy credits, lots of them. My dad was also under contract with Universal Studios. And my first film was shot on the same stage they both worked on at Universal.
— Chris Pine
I'm very proud of my dad. To me, there are comparisons, but there aren't comparisons. We kind of play two different positions. He's a Hall of Famer, I'm not a Hall of Famer.
I've been compared to my dad my whole life. That pressure I've learned to deal with.
My dad founded the 'Rancho Santa Fe Times' and won a lot of journalism awards.
— Chris Hillman
I don't recommend this, but my dad - to help us get through the winter, he bought a kerosene heater, and he had it in the kitchen so that the furnace wouldn't have to kick off.
— Chris Gibson
My mom and dad got divorced, so it was one of those things where Sundays I'd go to Dad's apartment, and this was, say, 1970-whatever, and it had a pool table on the top floor in a very traditional kind of divorced-dad apartment building.
— Chris Eigeman
I would say growing up in Nashville has been a huge influence in my music. Growing up with my dad being a 2-time Grammy-winner, BMI songwriter of the year for five consecutive years in a row, and having the legacy he has is definitely a huge influence, too.
I grew up in Edinburgh, but my dad's from Glasgow, and my mum's from Chingford in Essex, and I spent time in Ireland, too, so I was always somebody who absorbed accents. I would come back from visits, very much to the annoyance of friends and family, with an accent based on where I'd been.
— Chloe Pirrie
My dad is a very determined person.
If it wasn't for my dad, I would never have known about pentathlon, because it's not popular at all in Australia.

— Chely Wright
Every year, I give my dad an advance copy of my latest book. He reads it over the next several nights and says something incredibly supportive. Then he clears his throat nervously and changes the subject.
— Chelsea Cain
I wanted to be something and prove to girls in high school, and to my mum and dad, that I could be really... spectacular.
— Charlotte McKinney
My dad was able to wrestle so many great Japanese wrestlers.
I spent 26 years watching my dad, and I didn't know anything about the business until I started myself.
I had to put me foot down with the first record company. It was about 1975, when singers were being given names like Gary Glitter and Alvin Stardust, so they wanted to call me Benny Santini just because me dad's an Irish-Italian with an ice-cream business!
My dad taught me to work hard and to be the same guy every day. If that's going 100 miles per hour and working hard, then that's what I'll do.
I like having my dad around.
I graduated college and moved back home, started helping my dad, did landscaping for a living.
— Chris Lane
My dad works in child protection and he's spent many, many years in that line of work.

I came from a working-class family. My dad was in a union. I never forgot what it was like to be a private.
I learned so much watching my dad write songs and perform in front of thousands of people, and people were singing along to songs that I watched him write; it stuck with me.
My dad had this old truck that he used to take on back roads and showed me how to drive when I was nine or ten.
My dad gave up his job; he stopped working - for me. Without that, I definitely wouldn't be as successful.
When I was younger, me and my dad worked really hard. We did it the hard way.
My mom is Episcopalian; my dad is ancestrally Jewish but personally atheist. After their divorce, however, my dad married a Jewish spiritual director, and I became fascinated by the traditions she brought into our lives.
— Chloe Benjamin
My mother, grandmother and older sister all cooked, so it was hard to get into the kitchen. So I have no talent for cooking. I was always out in the garage with my dad. I have a tool belt. I'm a repair chick.
— Cheryl Ladd
I don't know if I could date a single dad. It would depend on the guy.
