Well you know what I'm 60 years old and I've been interested in politics since I was on my daddy's knee. During the 1948 election we were praying for Truman. I know a lot about politics.

My children have never watched any of my films. Charlie knows that daddy makes movies but he says they are not good enough for him to watch.

There was one thing my daddy wouldn't tolerate in any shape form or fashion and that was being unkind or rude to somebody. That was just very important to my folks. And as it turns out that was a legacy that he left me that money can't buy is how to be able to treat people.

I think my mom put it best. She said 'Little girls soften their daddy's hearts.'

Mama and Daddy King represent the best in manhood and womanhood the best in a marriage the kind of people we are trying to become.

Daddy was real gentle with kids. That's why I expected so much out of marriage figuring that all men should be steady and pleasant.

Most fathers don't see the war within the daughter her struggles with conflicting images of the idealized and flawed father her temptation both to retreat to Daddy's lap and protection and to push out of his embrace to that of beau and the world beyond home.

How true Daddy's words were when he said: all children must look after their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.

It's really funny because the same people who loved me as Stringer Bell were the same people that were watching 'Daddy's Little Girls' literally in tears.

My Daddy liked physical fitness and wanted me to be a prizefighter.
