On the one hand, I've had such a normal upbringing with my mum, who has kept me grounded, but on the other, the wild experiences through my dad. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
The only other time I can recall my dad getting upset at me was when I missed a hockey practice. My parents were away, so my buddy and I decided to skip it. I never told my dad about it, but he found out from the coach. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Well my dad was a pretty good player at one stage and my two older brothers played golf as well. So there were always golf clubs flying around the house. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I used to listen to my dad a lot as a way of trying to be close to him, as well, because my parents were divorced and I didn't spend that much time with him. And I used to put headphones on and listen to my dad talk and sing and I found that quite... bonding with him, in a weird way. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Things with my dad were pretty good until I won an Academy Award. He was really loving to me until I got more attention than he did. Then he hated me. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I would ask my dad what he did, and he'd say, 'I listen to people's problems.' In some way what he did for a living is in my genes. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
But although Australia was also involved in the Vietnam conflict, I can remember my dad telling us that if we were in Australia, we wouldn't be drafted until we were 20. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
When I was a kid, I wanted to walk with my dad's limp - my dad was my hero - but that infuriated him, and he would make me walk back and forth in the living room until I walked without it. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
At times I've got a really big ego. But I'll tell you the best thing about me. I'm some guy's dad I'm some little gal's dad. When I die, if they say I was Annie's husband and Zachary John and Anna Kate's father, boy, that's enough for me to be remembered by. That's more than enough. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I realised I could run after finding out that my dad used to run and it gave me the morale that if he did it then maybe I could also run. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
