Family is the most important thing in life, period.

Sometimes in movies, I still have to be the hero, but it's not all that important to me anymore.

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.

I still have my original love for acting. That's why I feel so lucky. I think that's what sustains me in the sort of leaner times.

What, like I want to look like Dick Clark? No. I think I look great with liver spots.

Golf is meaningless, but it means so much.

I judge movies on how much fun I had while I was doing them. I had a great time on 'The Right Stuff.' Doing that was fantastic. And there was the year I did 'The Rookie' and 'Far From Heaven,' which was amazing because those two different roles were just so far apart.

Dennis Quaid

I really love doing what I do, being an actor. It's the greatest. You can do it until you die.

I spent a weekend in the White House with President Clinton, back in '99, I guess. We played golf and just hung out and talked on many subjects. I saw him several times subsequently in L.A. He's the smartest man I ever met, a great politician. Everybody was star struck around him.

Dennis Quaid

I'm lucky. I have a high metabolism, so I pretty much eat anything and everything.

I love acting and making your own luck. You have to recreate yourself, I guess. Although, I don't know how.

Dennis Quaid

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

I like acting and being a musician. It's like comparing apples and oranges. But I really like my day job. I've always played music since I was 12, and I guess I always will.

Dennis Quaid

I want to work with great people. Great people really make you better.

Dennis Quaid

I was made to be a perfectionist at everything I did. Everything was more important than what I wanted.

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.

A lot of people that I started out with, I don't know where they are. I guess it takes tenacity to still be doing this, and luck, but I've been very blessed.

I've done so many movies that when I see them I don't really watch them.

There's no way that I could do a 9 to 5 job. There's no way. I was not cut out for that. You come in and you work for three months on the one job. They say, 'Great,' you know, and you're on to the next one - and you never even got fired. It's wonderful.

Dennis Quaid

Athletes are sort of part of the community at large. They have to be dedicated to what they do, and go through lots of peaks and valleys. And there's a lot of training that goes into their careers. It's a struggle. Very dramatic.

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.

That's what is great about what I do, going from one job to the other.

I'm an idol of cinema? Oh, wow.

I love to work. I actually enjoy it now more than I did when I was in my 20s. I don't know why, but I'm just grateful.

I always want to find the best burger in town.

Dennis Quaid

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