More quotes by 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.

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!'

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.

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
I love acting and making your own luck. You have to recreate yourself, I guess. Although, I don't know how.
Dennis Quaid
I have always done my own stunts, and I have been in hundreds of fights in films, but I have never been in a fist fight outside the movies.

My real-life athletic career was not very much. I played Little League baseball.
Dennis Quaid
That's what is great about what I do, going from one job to the other.
Dennis Quaid
I was very uncomfortable with all the attention when it first started happening to me. I retreated quite a bit from the world, both physically and emotionally. But then you just accept that you can't control what the rest of the world thinks or does.
