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.

More quotes by Dennis Quaid
I found golf late in life, in 1990. I took some lessons and struggled. Then one day, I hit a drive that was so crisp and clean, with no vibration. There's no feeling like it. I was hooked.
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.
Dennis Quaid
It's hard for two actors to be together. Take the traveling, for instance. It winds up being a long distance relationship, all the time, because one’s working here and one’s working there, or one’s staying at home and one’s off someplace else.
Dennis Quaid
Golf is meaningless, but it means so much.
Dennis Quaid
I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I'm used to.
Dennis Quaid
The truth [always] lies in things that have no words.
Dennis Quaid
Going to the golf course every day for work? That's a good job.
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
Certainly I'm a Christian first and foremost. But I do believe in religious tolerance and finding the commonality between all of us. I think that's how we're all going to come together.
Dennis Quaid
I was a really avid bowler when I was a teenager. I had about a 210-220 average. I had blisters on my fingers.
Dennis Quaid
That's what is great about what I do, going from one job to the other.
Dennis Quaid
You have to have the ability to remake yourself. Whatever that is. Every several years... Every five to 10 years.
Dennis Quaid
I'm an idol of cinema? Oh, wow.
Dennis Quaid
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.
Dennis Quaid
I've always considered myself a character actor. That's the way I was trained, really.
Dennis Quaid
I was made to be a perfectionist at everything I did. Everything was more important than what I wanted.
Dennis Quaid
What, like I want to look like Dick Clark? No. I think I look great with liver spots.
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.
Dennis Quaid
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.
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.
