The five different areas in which boys are in crisis - education jobs emotional health physical health and fatherlessness - are handled by different portions of the government.

I was blessed to have a mother and father that recognized the value of education.

My grandfather could barely read. My grandmother had a sixth-grade education. They were people who were industrious. They were frugal.

My mother is a special education teacher but also an artist and my father an advertising executive. They are about as wacky as you can get without being alcoholics.

I'm a good son a good father a good husband - I've been married to the same woman for 30 years. I'm a good friend. I finished college I have my education I donate money anonymously. So when people criticize the kind of characters that I play on screen I go 'You know that's part of history.'

The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools equipped with tortures called an education.

Just like my father I've always loved education. In school I was a member of the honor society.

I have to say I have an incredible musical education because of my father.

My father is a real idealist and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning my father would spare no expense.

Let us keep the dance of rain our fathers kept and tread our dreams beneath the jungle sky.
