Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of leading by example rather than giving direct instructions. It suggests that the speaker's father didn't teach them how to live life through words, but instead demonstrated it by living authentically. By allowing them to observe his actions and choices, the father gave his child the opportunity to learn and derive their own lessons. It highlights the idea that sometimes actions speak louder than words, and the impact of one's behavior can have a profound influence on those around them.

What's amazing is that I'm recognized all over the world through 'Red Dwarf.' British fans are exceptional, but the American fans are something else. Some of them fly 500 miles to stand in line for three hours, just to meet me, then when they do they collapse. It makes you feel like a rock star!
