From my first dunk at 14 years old to my second NCAA Championship at the University of Tennessee, my intense training with my dad was always to credit.

On my best days, such as when I was a junior in high school coming off a 42-point performance and near triple-double, my dad was there to tell me I have not arrived yet and bring me back to reality.

I love playing a dad. It is hard to find family dramas that are genuinely funny.

If a cow walked into this room, I do probably walk out. I could milk it, but my dad never forced me to do a lot of chores like that, mostly because he loved doing it himself.

My dad is a pilot so I think I was born with the travel bug.

I did not really get into golf until I was about 14. My mom and dad were taking lessons from a pro an hour and a half from our farm in Cohuna, Australia. When they got home, I do ask my mom to explain everything they learned - drills and all.

I had my footballing heroes such as Bryan Robson and Diego Maradona but my dad was a rugby league star, and he was my real hero. But the relationship with my mum was rocky and we saw things that would affect any youngster.

A mustache really defines your face. My dad had a mustache when I was growing up, and I can still remember when he shaved it, he looked like a completely different person.

Some musicians I know are incredible fathers. Like Keith Richards. A fantastic dad.

I love Prince Harry. Good looking and a bit of a rebel. Me and his dad are as thick as thieves and I knew Harry before I knew his dad so we've met a few times. I think he is amazing. And I think you can relate to him because he is made mistakes. He is cool.

We all have roles in life. I am a dad, a husband, this and that, but basically I only feel justified in being alive when I am on the stage.

I have a weird sense of humour. My dad's the same. We love watching Monty Python together.

My grandmother was an actress too. In the thirties and forties she was under contract with Universal Studios. Crazy credits, lots of them. My dad was also under contract with Universal Studios. And my first film was shot on the same stage they both worked on at Universal.

I got stuck up a tree when I was about seven, and my dad had to come and get the ladder to get me down. I loved to climb all the way up to the top. I must have been a koala in my past life.

No, like I said, my dad was never really part of the tennis. His involvement around what I did with the tennis and with my mom and my grandparents was really not a part of my life.

I have hung out at dozens of playgrounds, bored out of my mind, with not even a look of comfort from disapproving mothers all around me. Either they think I am a pedophile or a deadbeat dad. That is what I get for being a single dad - suspicious looks at the playground.

My mum's parents were from Ireland, my dad's mum was American-Irish.

Obviously, losing a parent is very difficult. I miss my dad every day, but I know he would be proud to see me continuing to swim and going for another shot at the Olympics.

I actually study boxing - my dad was a Golden Gloves champion so I learned how to fight at a very young age. Growing up in Brooklyn you always had to watch your back, so I pretty much learned to protect myself.

I do always assumed that I would die at about the same age as my dad - he was 45. I am five years in credit now. I can not get my head around the fact that I am older than he was - ever.
