More quotes by Dennis Quaid
I directed a movie back in the '90s which had calf roping in it, and I got into it quite a bit back then.
Dennis Quaid
Surfing is like golf: You're always battling, and it keeps knocking you down. There are a lot of wipeouts. But when you stay with it and catch that wave, you really taste it. It's magic.

I would like my kids to follow their bliss.

Going to the golf course every day for work? That's a good job.
Dennis Quaid
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 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.

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.

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.

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 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
There are three things being a celebrity is good for: raising money for charity, dinner reservations and tee times.
Dennis Quaid
I've always considered myself a character actor. That's the way I was trained, really.
Dennis Quaid
Golf is meaningless, but it means so much.
Dennis Quaid
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.

That's what is great about what I do, going from one job to the other.
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
What, like I want to look like Dick Clark? No. I think I look great with liver spots.
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.
