"My dad didn’t want me to play guitar. He played piano, so I chose that. And I ended up loving it." ― Gavin DeGraw Topic(s): Dad More From Gavin DeGraw "Women are the first to jump on what is fashionable." "I’m very competitive, and my ego couldn’t handle that lack of success." "When my grandfather died, I started adopting some of his accents, to sort of remind myself of him. A homage. He was a war hero, and he was really great with his hands." More In Dad "When I was little, we had a Golden Book that had all these Disney characters in one portrait on the first page. My dad used to read from it every night. We’d play this game of find Pluto or find Donald Duck. He’d read us stories and do all the voices. Those are great memories."― Danica McKellar "Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain."― Khalil Gibran "I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things… I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind."― Leo Buscaglia
