Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.
I started playing when I was about 13, mainly because Dad had guitars lying around the house. My dad taught me my first three chords, and I taught myself from there.
Fortunately for me, I had a father who didn't let us get away with anything. You were taught respect, and you were taught to be humble. That has a lot to do with how I am now, because I'm still scared of my dad.
My mother taught me to focus on being myself and not to worry what other people think about you. I know that as long as I'm a good person I'll stay on the right path. From my dad I learned that when someone tells you “No” it's only the beginning of a conversation. They both have always let me know that I can do anything I want to do as long as I don't give up. They are the most important role models in my life because they are exactly who I want to be when I grow up. They are supportive and understanding and I try every day to remember what they've taught me.
Dad taught me everything I know, but he would never tell me anything he knew.
My dad being a salesman taught me you can sell anybody anything if you've got the ability to believe.
My mom and dad taught me to never take anything for granted, and to give what you are to your community.
My Dad taught me that the English upper class are sent to school to be taught to be confident, whereas in Glasgow you're born confident. I've always thought that pretty much summed me up. Born confident.
My mom and dad taught me a lot. They kept me out of trouble and told me to go a better route. They taught me how to be a man, basically.
My dad taught me that you have to work hard for anything you want in life, and I wanted to be good at playing basketball.
My dad taught me to work hard and be a grafter, and my mam taught me to have a heart and showed me how to love. That's a good balance.
My dad taught me my faith, and I believe what he taught me. The man never lied to me in his life.
I was always a total ham, but my dad really taught me that.
My dad's always taught me how to do stuff on my own.
My dad has always taught me these words: care and share.
My dad never really taught me anything about the game, he was never on me in the basketball aspect of life.
