I was always a kid trying to make a buck. I borrowed a dollar from my dad, went to the penny candy store, bought a dollars worth of candy, set up my booth, and sold candy for five cents apiece. Ate half my inventory, made $2.50, gave my dad back his dollar. – Guy Fieri

My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman. Really, I didnt know my dad very well. He and my mother split up after the war. I was raised by my maternal grandmother and grandfather, and by my mother. – Al Pacino

But I honestly dont read critics. My dad reads absolutely everything ever written about me. He calls me up to read ecstatic reviews, but I always insist that I cant hear them. If you give value to the good reviews, you have to give value to the criticism. – Fiona Apple
