Here's the funny thing about the response I've been aware of to my dating famous people: It's been very negative. I'm either not good-looking enough not a good enough actor or not successful enough for these people.

However successful you are there is no substitute for a close relationship. We all need them.

Every dad who loves his daughter is not going to want her to go with the penniless slacker loser poet bum when she could go out with someone who's successful.

My dad is very successful in his business. He's always been big in having hobbies and having little ways to get away. He always made time for hunting and fishing. He always encouraged me to do it.

My dad was the baby. When he was born they were already successful. They sent him to business school - he probably would have loved to have been a poet or a writer or something and he was very creative.

I think my dad is the only Arabic descendent who is an unsuccessful businessman.

The only time I think about life beyond F1 is when I contemplate becoming a dad. But there's no way that's going to happen while I'm still racing. To be successful in F1 you need to be very selfish in lots of ways and you're away from home for long periods. That's not the kind of father I want to be.

A company that pays attention to the family unit is a successful company. We don't isolate the family. We don't make rides that say 'Hey mom dad you go sit on the bench.'

My dad was a mime and then he had his company and created plays for children and was very successful with it.

My dad was a bartender. My mom was a cashier a maid and a stock clerk at K-Mart. They never made it big. They were never rich. And yet they were successful. Because just a few decades removed from hopelessness they made possible for us all the things that had been impossible for them.
