When I used to do musical theatre, my dad refused to come backstage. He never wanted to see the props up close or the sets up close. He didnt want to see the magic. – Nia Vardalos
My dads sense of humor was direct and sometimes surreal – his quick wit is well known amongst our family and friends. He raised me on Spike Jones records and W.C. Fields movies, and his sense of humor fell somewhere in between. – Tony Visconti
