I never had a speech from my father 'this is what you must do or shouldn't do' but I just learned to be led by example. My father wasn't perfect.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What I learned most from my father wasn't anything he said; it was just the way he behaved. He loved his work so much that, whenever he came on set, he brought that with him, and other people rose to it.
Trust me, I have never written a speech in my life, and if I have my way, I never will.
The big things that I've learnt from my dad is that you can just say what you want to say.
Dad often told me, 'My job is to help my boss do his job and make him look good.' That was my dad's objective. Everything about the way he conducted himself was to communicate support for his superiors and respect for his coworkers. The way he dressed was his starting point in that communication.
My father was always telling himself no one was perfect, not even my mother.
I think the one thing that most stands out is that my father always did what he believed to be the right thing to do and he always told us that we had to go our own way even if he disagreed.
When I was growing up my mother would say, 'Your dad may have to learn about being a father because he lost his own and that would have affected him'.
As I've been acting since I was young it's taught me to give a good speech, and, though I say so myself, I did it pretty well.
I speak with my father about everything in my life.
My father taught me that you have to stand by your principles.
