Whether I do an original film, a dance, or a remake of my dad's hit songs, I have always been compared to him.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My dad is my biggest influence on me as a musician, even though he's not a musician.
My dad has actually really influenced me musically. I have a weird love for '80s and '90s music. A lot of people are like, 'Are you serious? It's so lame.' But my dad always plays that in the car whenever we're together.
I'm compared to my dad all the time, and I've learned to take it positively by working hard.
I respect my dad, and he's amazing. He's my hero. He's the Beatles, man - or one of them.
Initially, it would bother me when filmmakers, script writers, dialogue writers and choreographers tried to recreate a bit of my dad though me.
My father loved all different types of music. He wasn't a snob. He wasn't a purist.
I suppose my father was more influential in my starting to play the guitar.
My dad's music was a great inspiration to me.
Things with my dad were pretty good until I won an Academy Award. He was really loving to me until I got more attention than he did. Then he hated me.
I've always adored my father's music, but ever since I'd started singing, whether it was while I was still a student at the University of Massachusetts or professionally, I avoided Dad's material.
