It's become a habit to make films where the father is absent. My father impresses me, but the father figure does not.

Xavier Dolan

The interesting thing about an absent father is, for a child, you don't know he's absent. You just think he's... tardy.

Jonathan Majors

Cus was my father but he was more than a father. You can have a father and what does it mean?—it doesn't really mean anything. Cus was my backbone . . . . He did everything for my best interest . . . . We'd spend all our time together, talk about things that, later on, would come back to me. Like about character, and courage. Like the hero and the coward: that the hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters.

Mike Tyson

Our father is a hero for us and so I've always looked at him as somebody that I couldn't wait to be, as well. So I can't wait to be a father, and watching Maks become the father that he is has been very motivating for me, as well.

Valentin Chmerkovskiy

My uncle was a hero, Lewis Roundtree. He was not even related to me really, but he was always called my uncle. He was like a father to me. I was closer to him than I was my father.

Ed Bradley

Because my father was often absent on naval duty, my mother suffered me to do much as I pleased

John James Audubon

Because my father was often absent on naval duty, my mother suffered me to do much as I pleased.

John James Audubon

My father was an atheist, absent. He was a salesman; I was four years old when he told me that the end of life was death.

Alejandro Jodorowsky

For my own part, I would rather be in company with a dead man than with an absent one; for if the dead man gives me no pleasure, at least he shows me no contempt; whereas the absent one, silently indeed, but very plainly, tells me that he does not think me worth his attention.

Lord Chesterfield

To me my father is my hero, my mountain and my drive.

Kim Young-kwang

Every son needs his father to be a hero and my father is like a superhero!

Akhil Akkineni

To every little girl, her father is a hero. My father actually is one.

Alexandra Kerry

Every boy was supposed to come into the world equipped with a father whose prime function was to be our father and show us how tobe men. He can escape us, but we can never escape him. Present or absent, dead or alive, real or imagined, our father is the main man in our masculinity.

Frank Pittman

If there's no relationship with a father who's absent, nobody talks about it.

Charles B. Rangel

My father was my hero. I can't say enough about him and everything he did for me and my family.

Jean Smart

Think about one of the most powerful influences on a young child's life - the absence of a father figure. Look back on recent presidents, and you'll find an absent, or weak, or failed father in the lives of Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
