  • My father was like the Old Testament. I am the New Testament. I am part of a new generation. In time, people will realize this. -- Ziggy Marley

  • The first time I saw nitroglycerine was in the beginning of the Crimean War. Professor Zinin in St. Petersburg exhibited some to my father and me, and struck some on an anvil to show that only the part touched by the hammer exploded without spreading. -- Alfred Nobel
  • I'm used to very strong women because my mother was particularly strong, and my father was away all the time. My mother was a big part of bringing up three boys, so I was fully versed in the strength of a powerful woman, and accepted that as the status quo. -- Ridley Scott
  • My father was an urchin that lived in Hell's Kitchen. He was part of a family of nine.

And both he and I became truck drivers for different companies. -- Frank Gehry
  • I was brought up in a very religious household and did a lot of praying throughout a big part of my life and always thought of God as being not only a powerful father figure and the ruler of all time and dimension but also as a friend with whom I could chat and ask questions to and get advice from. -- Paul Feig
  • I had given myself a sort of early retirement when I left the scene in 1985. All of the people in my family worked until they dropped, including my father. I decided to take a little time to enjoy life. I traveled, built my dream house, rescued a few dogs. My return to music, and acting, was deliberate, part of my musical arc. -- J. D. Souther
