My father was the guy on the block who said hi to everyone.

My grandfather, along with Carnegie, was a pioneer in philanthropy, which my father then practiced on a very large scale.

I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.

I wanted to be a forest ranger or a coal man. At a very early age, I knew I didn't want to do what my dad did, which was work in an office.

That is the thankless position of the father in the family - the provider for all, and the enemy of all.
