Nobody ever worked as hard as my father. My father averaged maybe four hours of sleep at night, and when you're a kid, you don't realize that. The man was tired. He was tired.

If I manage to get seven hours' sleep, I'm a pretty good parent.

My parents have always told me to work hard. My father was a friend, a very good friend, but when he needed to be a father, he was.

I have always worked long hours and very hard. It is the way I am. Same as always. Up about seven and get to bed about 12 to 1, something like that.

My father worked real hard. I admired him. My father taught me you needed to work with your brain and not your back. I've made that a passion.

My mother raised three children on her own and my dad was a doctor working 16 hours a day.

I used to be someone that needed nine hours of sleep; otherwise, I didn't think I was going to sound good when I sang, and I was very disciplined and anal about my preparation. When you become a parent, there just isn't that time, you know?

I'm compared to my dad all the time, and I've learned to take it positively by working hard.

When my son was born, I decided I wasn't really into working 12 hours a day. That slowed me down a little bit.

My dad is such a good man, hard-working.
