For me, the relationship with my father is the most important thing that I have.

You need to have a very strong relationship with your coaches. For me, Freddie Roach is like a father figure.

Please don't try and dramatize my relationship with Woody Allen. He was never any kind of father figure to me.

I had a very distant relationship with my father. It was always just me and my mother. It was a shattering blow when she died. I was 16.

Father's Day each year makes me grateful for what my father did for me. This has little to do with our relationship, and much to do with what he taught me.

I have an evolving relationship with my father, and his memory, especially the older I get. I know that some of the things that interested him are things that interest me.

My stepdad didn't have a father growing up, so he didn't know how to have a father-son style conversation. Plus, we had a tense relationship in which he never really offered me advice.

Of all the memories I have of my father and of our relationship, none is warmer and more poignant than what happened a year before he died, when he came to visit me while I was teaching at West Point Grey Academy in Vancouver.

The father figure doesn't impress me. I have a very friendly relationship with my father, but that wasn't always the case. My mother had custody, and I only saw him every other weekend. I never knew him well enough for him to inspire me.
