"But more importantly, I think he remembered how very close I was with my own dad, who had died in 1997." ― Richard Marx Topic(s): Dad More From Richard Marx "It’s funny; Luther and I have written many songs together, but we’ve never written songs in the same room." "But once you have some success in one style, the business wants to lock you in that vein forever." "I have complete freedom, and there’s no way to get pigeonholed or bored. What could be better than that?" More In Dad "I have one brother, John, an airline pilot, who is seven years younger. He’s adopted, though we’re still blood related – he’s my cousin. My parents couldn’t have any more children after me, so when Dad’s brother died, they adopted John, then just a baby."― Gary Numan "You always hear people saying, ‘I hope I’m not turning into my dad’, but I’d be honoured if I became half as decent a bloke as he is."― Johnny Vegas "No one was more important than my mom and dad. I know they are watching from a place up in heaven here today to make sure all their kids are doing good."― Eddie Murphy
