Dad Quote by Minka Kelly

“I didn't really grow up with my dad. I met my dad a couple of times throughout my life. When my mom was pregnant with me, he was in Aerosmith and didn't want to have anything to do with it. It was pretty much my mom and me; the two of us. I was really mad at him for leaving.” quote by Minka Kelly
