More quotes by Dennis Quaid
In aviation they have auto pilot and color radar and a lot of other instrumentation that is a backup for pilots. It's really brought the incidents of plane crashes way down. Same thing ought to happen in the medical industry, I think.
Dennis Quaid
Horseracing and ranch horses are two different animals. You're getting race horses out and running and running them. It can be really problematic. A thoroughbred's very delicate.

I was a guy back in the Eighties who was one movie away from a huge career, which at that time didn't happen. In the Nineties, I worked a lot, but it was kind of, 'Get out there and dig and find things.' Then I guess 'The Rookie' and 'Far From Heaven' were referred to as my comeback.
Dennis Quaid
I've always considered myself a character actor. That's the way I was trained, really.
Dennis Quaid
Playing Bill Clinton is really, probably, the scariest time of my career.
Dennis Quaid
I love acting and making your own luck. You have to recreate yourself, I guess. Although, I don't know how.

Before I was an actor, I was never able to hold a job for more than 3 months for some reason. It just wouldn't hold my interest, so there was some way that I wound up quitting or getting fired from it. But being an actor is perfect, because movies usually take about three months to shoot. Then it's over and they say, 'Hey, great job!'

Everybody just wants to be famous first, and then maybe learn how to act.

I guess I could say I'm an actor, which I am, but that sounds like I'm putting down being a movie star, which, let's face it, is what I've become to many people. For myself, I'm a guy who was very insecure from about age 14 until the day I hit my 30th birthday.

I grew up Baptist and still go to church. I myself have explored other religions, because I want to know what it is that makes other people tick. I find we're all talking about the same thing, really - it's all God.
Dennis Quaid
I was made to be a perfectionist at everything I did. Everything was more important than what I wanted.
Dennis Quaid
I could never hold a job for more than three months, which works out well because that's how long a movie shoots.
Dennis Quaid
I really want to see the Cubs in the World Series. I really do.
Dennis Quaid
I owe the little formal education I got to my drama teacher, Mr. Pickett, who got us to read Shakespeare, Moliere, and other classics.
Dennis Quaid
It's as predictable as the sun rising in the morning. Every time Barack Obama's poll numbers rise you can be certain he's done something else to weaken the country. He's empowered a base that loathes American excellence.

I grew up in Houston, and I remember we had separate drinking fountains, and black people sat in the balcony of the theater... We had an African-American housekeeper growing up who was really like my second mother. I thought it was silly - hatred just because of the color of somebody's skin.
Dennis Quaid
I would like my kids to follow their bliss.
Dennis Quaid
For many years, I was obsessed about what I was eating, how many calories it had, and how much exercise I'd have to do.
Dennis Quaid
In my early teen years, I wanted to become a vet. That was my plan. I worked as a veterinarian's assistant for a couple of summers.
Dennis Quaid
I am very interest in the human condition. That is what I love about acting. I like studying different people and their psychosis. I like discovering what makes them tick. I always find that with any character I play. I need to find out what makes them tick.
