The Importance of a Strong Dad
I read that quote about your father. I think it was in the independent that your dad was the biggest influence on your career. And then I read a separate quote saying that I have an awful lot to thank him for. But sometimes I hated him. He saw probably a bit Italian in me and pushed and drove in an old school where I want you to be a player son. Now I think some parents get excited about the bright lights that may be, and they push their children. It's another story, but I think mine was real. My dad was a tough man, is a tough man. And he pushed me. So, you know, this isn't a sob story.
