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

I look for a good story. Usually the best stories are the ones that are unbelievably true. 'Soul Surfer' is one of those stories.

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.

You have to have the ability to remake yourself. Whatever that is. Every several years... Every five to 10 years.

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!'

'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.

Image
There are three things being a celebrity is good for: raising money for charity, dinner reservations and tee times.
Dennis Quaid
Image
I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I'm used to.
Dennis Quaid
Image
I've always considered myself a character actor. That's the way I was trained, really.
Dennis Quaid
Image
I would like my kids to follow their bliss.
Dennis Quaid
Image
If we never felt sorrow, we'd never recognize bliss.

What is great about art and artists is that we get to ask the questions, even though we may never know the answers.

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 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 always wanted to be an astronaut.

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.
