“I wanted to take up music, so my father bought me a blunt instrument. ...” — Jay London Quote

I wanted to take up music, so my father bought me a blunt instrument. He told me to knock myself out.

My girlfriend has crabs, I bought her fishnet stockings.

My whole family is lactose intolerant and when we take pictures we can't say cheese.

I don't need to worry about identity theft because no one wants to be me.

You know what burns me? Matches.

I grew up in the public eye from the age of 15 and it wasn't a choice I made, it just kind of got imposed on me because of who my dad is.

My dad is a sculptor and a painter, and mum runs an art gallery, which sells beautiful jewelry and ceramics and paintings - local and international.

The first job I ever had was working for my dad, helping him out with some of his work as a translator - he used to take in sick lodgers who had come over from Iran to get medical assistance. It was 1975 and I was 10 at the time.

When I first started snowboarding, my dad pretty much dragged me into it. I wasn't old enough to be like, 'Oh, I wanna snowboard!' you know?

My dad was a meat peddler who drove a refrigerated truck. He bought his meat in Sheboygan, Wis., and sold it to stores in the region. He was a terrific salesman. People loved and trusted him, and he never let anyone down.
