My dad used to say 'Just because you dress up in a coat and tie it doesn't influence your intelligence.'

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.

My Dad a small-town lawyer was also named Paul. Until we lost him when I was 16 he was a gentle presence in my life. I like to think he'd be proud of me and my sister and brothers because I'm sure proud of him and of where I come from Janesville Wisconsin.

I'm very at ease and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been and I feel that's happening to me. I'm rather surprised at who I am because I'm actually like my dad!

My dad loves what I do and I support my parents financially because they didn't have a job that gave them a pension.

My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends but you'll never have enemies because people will always know where you're coming from.'

Anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a dad and that's why I call you dad because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.

I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.

My dad always said 'Don't worry what people think because you can't change it.'

So my father was a person who never lied to me. If I had a question he answered it. I knew a lot of things at a young age because I was intrigued.
