“The most important influence in my childhood was my father.” — DeForest Kelley Quote

The most important influence in my childhood was my father.

What I truly miss the most is having sufficient time to do all the things that need to be done around the house and for our friends.

I once aged 90 years old in one episode.

It was a perfectly average well- adjusted childhood, not a bit unlike that of millions of other individuals.

I refuse to be crude and selfish in any way.

I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'

I grew up in Edinburgh, but my dad's from Glasgow, and my mum's from Chingford in Essex, and I spent time in Ireland, too, so I was always somebody who absorbed accents. I would come back from visits, very much to the annoyance of friends and family, with an accent based on where I'd been.

No, I never thought about my father's money as my money.

I've always had in my offices a picture of my father campaigning with John F. Kennedy in 1960. Kennedy is wearing a black tuxedo. My dad's wearing a white dinner jacket. He looks awkward compared to the handsome John F. Kennedy - the perfectly groomed guy.
