Quotes by Dad I am just here to support the President of the United States. President of the United States is our boss, but he is also... you know, the President and the First Lady are kinda like the Mom and the Dad of the country. And when your Dad says something you listen, and when you don't it will usually bite you on the ass later on. So, I'm here to support the President. Chris Rock dadmomcountry When you have kids, there's no such thing as quality time. There's just time. There's no, 'Ooh, his graduation's better than going to the mall.' It's all kind of equal.

Christian Bale dadattitudefather I don't think I was particularly in need of superheroes. I never had any fascination with Superman or Spider-Man or a Batman kind of character.

He gave me an edict that I still pursue: “Life should never be boring." Christian Bale growing-updadcharacter Look, I've got incredible pride for my family.
