I didn’t play football in school, but I’ve been a fan of football all my life. I have a fair understanding of it. Doing movies about it really helps because you know what makes them work and what doesn’t. – Dennis Quaid
I love politics, but I wouldn’t want to be involved in it. Too little money, too much work! – Dennis Quaid
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!’ – Dennis Quaid

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