We have a collection of 3 Dad quotes from Tom Hooper
"My dad said, 'The thing that I was told that was really helpful was that I mustn't be afraid of the things I was afraid of when I was five years old'. The shock of his childhood had put him in this defensive crouch against the world, and he needed to know that he had a nice wife and kids and it wasn't the same any more." (ID 13989)
"When I was growing up my mother would say, 'Your dad may have to learn about being a father because he lost his own and that would have affected him'." (ID 13991)
"I feel connected to the Second World War because my father lost his father in that war. So, through my dad and the effect it had on him of losing his father young, I always felt connected to the war. It goes back years, but it still feels to me as if we're completely living in it." (ID 14017)
