NEW YORK — Dads sometimes know best.
In time for Father’s Day on Sunday, a range of artists from film, television and music shared the most valuable lessons from their own dads with The Associated Press:
Patty Jenkins, “Wonder Woman” director, daughter of a Vietnam War veteran: “Perseverance and focus, first of all, because I think that that kind of job of being a fighter pilot is strangely difficult. You’re on your own and you just have to put one foot in front of the other, figuratively speaking, to get things done and to deal with whatever comes up. And that actually comes up. That is very present in my life as a director every day.”
James Taylor, music legend: “Just to be there for your family. I’ve tried to be as much as possible. If there is a struggle, that’s it, trying to balance family life and life on the road.”
Hugh Jackman, “Logan” star: “Education. He preached education. And passion, like find whatever you’re good at then do everything you can to learn every bit of it, and don’t go out into the world until you’ve studied.”
