I let my boy go and do and say pretty much as he likes, as, and perhaps because, my father kept no string on me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A father draws boundaries and calls a halt, whenever necessary. As I didn't have that, I was able to stay childishly naive that much longer - so I did what I liked, because there was nobody stopping me, even when I got it wrong.
My father realizes that he did okay with me. He did the best he could.
My father usually does not talk to me about my films, and it was a pleasant moment when he appreciated me the first time.
My father never put me on his lap and said he loved me.
I love my dad; I'm a daddy's girl, all the way.
The first time my father saw me in the flesh was on the stage, which is a bit weird. We went out to dinner, and he was charming and sweet, but I did all the talking.
My parents went crazy when they found out that I had gotten the part in 'Conversations With My Father!' I'd never given acting a thought. They were proud of me and very encouraging.
People ask me if I ever see my father and I say yes, because he puts in the effort. He calls all the time to tell us he's proud of us.
My father seemed always to know not only what I was doing, but what I was being.
I was very wary of repeating my father's behaviour and did everything not to act like he did.
