Best 18 quotes of Aidan Quinn on MyQuotes

Baseball should be the only thing on an eight year old boy's mind.

I don't care. I mean, I've been stupid in the past, and I've learned from that. Some actors actually think about what they're going to talk about during the interview--they read up and meditate and plan quotes and get all inspired. It's very smart, but it's so planned. I never think to do that.

I don't get any parts I don't get offered. There are lots of great things out there I would like to do that I don't get offered.

I'd sneak out of the house to meet girls at 3:30 a.m.

I'd wear clogs, short pants and ladies' bracelets. I created this aura for myself.

I like the level of fame that I have. You get nice tables in restaurants sometimes, but fame isn't something that I find comfortable.

Life is hard for everyone. That's why there's such a nice reward at the end of it.

My thing about looking good is that it should be the character. If I'm playing a character who's concerned about his body - an athlete, say - I'll get in shape. If I'm playing a character who doesn't or wouldn't, I don't. I almost never get in shape for a movie, even though I know it would be a good career move.

Really, most of us just focus on what's in front of us. We're too busy putting out the fires of everyday life.

The family is where most of our joy comes from.

There will come a day when the phone doesn't ring as much as it used to.

You should learn to be happy with what you have. Besides, the fact that I'm not a huge star has allowed me to pick and choose the roles I want to do, not the ones some person sitting in a studio office thinks I should do.
