#father

My father, he was like the rock, the guy you went to with every problem. ↗

My mother wanted to be a teacher when she was young, and my father didn't approve of it, so she fought very hard to become one. And she did it. So when I said I wanted to become an actress, my mother was very supportive. She always said to me, 'There's no such thing as 'can't.' ↗

I never thought about becoming a politician. But during the military dictatorship, my grandfather was put in prison six times and my father twice. If my family and my country didn't have this history, I might be a professor somewhere today. ↗

Child-rearing is my main interest now. I'm a hands-on father. ↗

He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father's wisdom than he who has a great deal left him does to his father's care. ↗
