Ive just got crap hair. Although I inherited a lot of stuff from my dad, including giant knees, I didnt get his good, thick hair. I got my mothers thin, wispy, non-event hair instead. – Jenny Eclair

I look at my father. He is one of my heroes. He is such an incredible, classy man. He was such a great father and such a great husband in so many ways, and we lived through some pretty tough times losing my mom. When I see all that he did, I think, Wow, thats a really wonderful man. – Emmanuelle Chriqui
