My father was an inspiration to me I made a few movies with him and I loved working with him. Everything about him - his whole approach to work as well as his love enthusiasm and respect for it and other people in the business - was inspiring. I was very lucky to have him as a role model.

There was certainly less profanity in the Godfather than in the Sopranos. There was a kind of respect. It's not that I totally agreed with it but it was a great piece of art.

For David Parker and Daniel Parker with the respect and admiration of their father who grew up with them.

My father used to tell me about how musicians don't have respect from people and he was afraid about my future.

My father told me to dress to reflect the respect you have for the people around you. I've never forgotten that.

I was always fascinated by engineering. Maybe it was an attempt maybe to get my father's respect or interest or maybe it was just a genetic love of technology but I was always trying to build things.

The territorial state is such an ancient form of society - here in Europe it dates back thousands of years - that it is now protected by the sanctity of age and the glory of tradition. A strong religious feeling mingles with the respect and the devotion to the fatherland.

I have respect for what other people believe. What I believe in my own life is that it's a search for how I can do things better whether it's being a better man or a better father or finding ways for myself to improve.

Like the average American that I hang out with and like my father before me I raised all my children to respect tools and use them wisely and safely.

I am a person whose father had no religion but who went to the nuns for a couple of years. And I think I'm the same: On one hand I pray on the other hand I don't believe. I am constantly between the two.
