“My father was a doctor.” — David Alan Grier Quote

My father was a doctor.

I grew up in a home and in a world in which you can do anything. We were all expected to go to college. My father was a doctor.

I wanted something where I could have the clearest and most unfiltered artistic and creative voice.

I've tried actively to define myself and redefine myself, and not be pigeonholed.

Don't let anyone try to tell you who you are. Define yourself.

You have to take knocks as an actor, and my parents definitely gave me fight. I'm very driven, like my father, who was a very successful doctor.

I always wanted to follow in the footsteps of my maternal grandfather, who was a doctor.

If I hadn't become a photographer, I would have loved to become a doctor. I would have loved to have done something that actually helped people and changed their lives.

I married someone 30 years older than me, a doctor, a playboy who had a terrible Don Juan reputation.

You don't have a family doctor anymore like you did when you were a kid, who treated you throughout your life.
