If you're the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams, you've gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21, thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
We live in grief for having left the womb, for having left the teat, then school, then home. In my case, it was leaving marriages, and the death of my wife. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I can't imagine dating a boy, meeting him only outside the home. What's a home and family for if it's not the center of one's life? Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I want any excuse to come home. My dad is not a spring chicken any more. If anyone says, 'Go buy a postage stamp in London,' I'll go and do it. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I've always taken my love of children from my father. He was a children magnet. Suddenly, having my first child hit home what my dad went through. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I think it's easiest to teach by example. My dad didn't tell us to work hard we just saw how hard he worked. I know I have shortcomings - like a short fuse - but I've learned you can't come home from a long day of work and snap at the kids. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
At one point my dad called me and said, 'You have always been a great salesman. I think it's time you come home and sell swimming pools.' Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I've never been a hands-on dad. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I grew up in a house where my father encouraged my brother and me to fail. I specifically remember coming home and saying, 'Dad, Dad, I tried out for this or that and I was horrible,' and he would high-five me and say, 'Way to go.' Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Not much shocked me. You know, I worked in a home for Alzheimer's patients and my dad used to be really into murders and stuff, so I saw dead bodies. It desensitised me to a lot of things. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I don't really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band, so I always feel at home at a venue. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
