"Employee fathers need to step up to the plate and put their family needs on the table." ― James Levine Topic(s): Dad More From James Levine "It has to be able to play at the maximum expression and communication in every style, and the only way you can do that is – like Verdi said – working with a file, every day, little by little, until the orchestra’s collective qualities emerge." "A lot of people get impatient with the pace of change." "I was lucky that I met the right mentors and teachers at the right moment." More In Dad "An angry father is most cruel towards himself."― Publilius Syrus "I don’t know if there is a gene for comedy, but my dad was a very funny man. He just didn’t know it. He was a naturally funny character, and when my brother and I would laugh at things he said and did, he would say, ‘What do you think is so funny?’"― James Belushi "My dad was great. He was very droll, very dry."― Albert Finney
