More quotes by Dennis Quaid
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.

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.
Dennis Quaid
I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I'm used to.

There are three things being a celebrity is good for: raising money for charity, dinner reservations and tee times.

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.

'Legion' was a lot of fun to shoot. It was a real unique apocalypse scenario that takes place in a diner out in the desert. Very much like a drive-in B-movie, but in a good way.

If we never felt sorrow, we'd never recognize bliss.

I'm not really a pitcher I just play one in the movies.

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'm an idol of cinema? Oh, wow.
Dennis Quaid
My interpretation of a strong director is someone who knows their story. That's what directors are, they're storytellers because they're directing where your focus is going to be as an audience.
Dennis Quaid
I've always considered myself a character actor. That's the way I was trained, really.

I really want to see the Cubs in the World Series. I really do.
Dennis Quaid
I would like my kids to follow their bliss.

I try to be eclectic in my choice of films. If I've done anything that's intentional in my career, it's to try to do as many different types of characters and as many different types of genres of movies that I can.

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.

I can't hit a ball more than 200 yards. I have no butt. You need a butt if you're going to hit a golf ball.
Dennis Quaid
I always wanted to be an astronaut.

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.
