“My grandfather was a really, really tough no-nonsense factory worker who emigrated from Ireland in about 1900 to Bridgeport, Conn. He had a big effect on me. Those guys who took a great leap out into what they knew not were the ones who were the real stars, the real heroes.” RealBigsGuyStarsEffectsHeroToughWorkersNonsenseLeapFactoriesIrelandGrandfatherMy GrandfatherReal HeroesNo NonsenseFactory Workers Author:Brian Dennehy
“One of the reasons I always looked up to [George] Carlin is he looked like your grandfather but, acted like your best friend. Most of the adults in my world were adults and acted like adults and had job-type jobs and bills and pressures and stopped playing a long time ago. And George Carlin was a guy that the more he aged the younger he seemed. It was odd because he was still sagely and wise. But he was such a role model for me.” WorldLongStillsReasonJobsGuyRolesWiseLike YouTypeLong TimeModelsAdultsPressureBillsOddRole ModelsGrandfatherLong Time AgoYour Best Friend Author:Kevin Smith
