My father would tell anyone who would listen that this dentist thing he was doing was not his passion; cinematography was. ↗

My father is a real idealist, and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up, it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone, one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense. ↗

My father was an army champion boxer... in the British army. And so he loved boxing and talked it up as a sport. But then when my brother and I were beating the crap out of each other, he was always trying to tone it down. But I am a fan of boxing. ↗

The activity of being a husband, a father - those are roles, too, but underneath them is the spiritual center that connects us all, and that's what's most important. ↗

My very first recollection of life on earth was waking up in bed with my mother, and she was showing me a picture of my father, Charles Jackson, with a group of soldiers. ↗

Yes, and I had pimples so badly it used to make me so shy. I used not to look at myself. I'd hide my face in the dark, I wouldn't want to look in the mirror and my father teased me and I just hated it and I cried everyday. ↗

I didn't want my kids having to pass through an airport named after their father. ↗

My father was a Norwegian tenor and my mother a New York Irish librarian. ↗

Until I was six years old we lived in the projects, then my two brothers and three sisters and I moved to a three-bed that my mother's father built. ↗
