It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life.

My father has taught me not to succumb to nihilism, and my mother has taught me the value of hard work and determination.

Michael Tubbs

I grew up not having a father. Golf is the father I never had. It taught me honesty and respect and discipline and it taught me to control my temperament.

George Lopez

My father was a veteran and my mother a schoolteacher. They taught me the value of a good job and an honest day's work.

Stephen Pagliuca

I would love to be a father. I had a great father who taught me how gratifying that is. I'm not going to deny myself that. I think I'd be good at it. Everybody wants that experience. I definitely do.

Mike Myers

I use the lessons my father taught me every day. And I believe the simple value of integrity matters, even in a complicated place like Congress.

Elissa Slotkin

I come from a family of conservation activists, and so I've had a strong connection to nature all my life. My father has been a leader within the movement for over thirty years and has taught most of what I know about environmental conservation. While he would always take me hiking, camping, and rafting, he also taught me that the spiritual value of the outdoors alone is not enough to save nature against economic interests.

Edward Norton

My father taught me to paint when I was young with watercolors and so I learned at a very young age the essential elements of the value of light and composition.

Matthew Modine

My father was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. His family is from Spain. My father never taught me how to speak Spanish when I was little. That's very disappointing to me. I'm still planning on learning it on my own. I really want to travel to Spain and immerse myself in the culture and learn it on my own.

Kether Donohue

I was not treated like a serious young actress, and that was very hard. It sent me into psychotherapy, which is one of the smartest things I ever did. It taught me that I had to find value in myself.

Rita Moreno

My best and worst boss was the same man - my father. He never - and I mean never - took 'I can't' for an answer. He taught me the value system that, to this day, I have continued to practice.

George Steinbrenner

I began to see myself as someone who can help others understand diversity rather than feeling like a social outcast. Ellen taught me to not care about other people's opinions. She taught me to be truthful. She taught me to be free. I began to live my life in love and complete acceptance. For the first time I had truly accepted myself.

Portia de Rossi

Cancer taught me a plan for more purposeful living, and that in turn taught me how to train and to win more purposefully. It taught me that pain has a reason, and that sometimes the experience of losing things-whether health or a car or an old sense of self-has its own value in the scheme of life. Pain and loss are great enhancers.

Lance Armstrong

When I was a child, my father taught me to put up my fists like a boy and to be prepared to defend myself at all times.

Camille Paglia

My nan taught me never to put value on possessions but to value family, friends and people. I buy lovely things and enjoy them, but they don't rule me.

Rebecca Ferguson

Sport has taught me never to be jealous of someone or insecure if somebody is doing well. It's taught me teamwork and the value of patience. Even If I lose, I know that I've actually not lost.
