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

What, like I want to look like Dick Clark? No. I think I look great with liver spots.
Dennis Quaid
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.
Dennis Quaid
The truth [always] lies in things that have no words.
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.
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 found that you don't have to do drugs to have a great time. Music is a great drug on its own.
Dennis Quaid
I've done so many movies that when I see them I don't really watch them.
Dennis Quaid
Golf is meaningless, but it means so much.

My real-life athletic career was not very much. I played Little League baseball.
