Quote of the Day

"As I grow older, I put all life's bullshit aside. I think the process of the laying off of the bullshit starts around 40. Before that, most men have their heads stuck in their ass. After 40, you see things differently. You've found yourself. You're accepting yourself and what you got from life."

- Dennis Quaid, to the U.K.'s Guardian

    Amen! Finally someone in Hollywood — or most anywhere, for that matter — figured it out. Enjoy your kids, your life, Let others love and be responsible for theirs. Life could be so simply and lovely if we'd let it.

    Yep, that's it.
    Women "get it" when they give birth and men "get it" when they hit their 40's.
    Seen it over and over again.

    As a woman, I figured that already out by the time I was 30, men are usually very slow. Now that I am 36 I still cannot find any decent men. Where are the 40-yr-old single men?

    You found that you are one of the most boring people in Hollywood without the personality or brains to refrain from prescripted dialogue and BE REAL.He talked about his kid learning to drive,his twins, his movie word for word exactly the same no matter who was interviewing him. Exact.I mean exact and that's hard to do. Look up these dhows and watch them you'll crack up after two appearances you could finish his sentences and his boring stories.Regis,Today Show,Good Morning America,Conan,Letterman, Rachael Ray, Yes I know these are promotional tours for exposure but I NEVER heard someone say the SAME thing to DIFFERENT hosts no matter the tone or tide of the interview.Please look up several of thses interviews he did on these shows within 10 days and you'd wish he was given the wrong dosage at a hospital but then again wed find him on the talk show circuit once again with scripted commentary. What a joke.

    Such wisdom!

    He's on his third marriage, to a beautiful blond 18 years his junior, and spends his days playing golf and flying his light plane.

    I figured this out when I was 23. But the bullshit is still all over the place and you have to learn how to deal with it. Perez is full of shit for example. I love it when some women on here commented that they "figured it out" but I assure you, they are also full of shit and most likely haven't a clue about what Mr. Quiad is referring to. Go watch the movie Network and watch Finch's rant about running out of bullshit and you'll no what I'm talking about.

    I think when he said "laying off the bullshit", he means keeping his dick in his pants. Maybe when you are over 40 you realize what's really important, and you take you're head out of your ass. Cuz you know young guys definitely have their heads up their ass when they are younger.

    Must be tough..

    Got rid of fish lips, his older son, upgraded the chick, made sure she didn't get a stretch mark…and BAM…he is happy

    Oh..forgot about kicking the coke habit his first wife made him do before she would marry him….oh isn't life tough.

    DQ hasn't learned a damn thing. He cheated on Meg until she had enough of it & finally dumped his ass. He cheats on Kimberly too. He and a friend of mine did the nasty a year ago when he was in NYC. She wasn't aware that he'd remarried. So obviously he still has a problem keeping his dick in his pants.

  47. Melanie says – reply to this

    Though accepting the myriad of things you've got from life is probably a little easier for you than for others.

    "he scored a beautiful young wife"

    At last year's Dennis Quaid Charity event I was talking to someone very close to Dennis and we were discussing his wife. Dennis and Kimberly were standing in the hotel lobby where we were. He commented that it was easy for Dennis to get younger women because he was a movie star. I replied to him, "yeah, but would you want THAT" and his answer was "Hell no"!! He knows Kim personally.
    BTW, there is not going to be a Quaid charity event this year. I'm sure they will say it is because of his hectic schedule, the twins etc, but it all comes down to one thing and it's name is Kim.

    SOMEONE FORGOT TO TELL JOHN CUSACK!

    Really, bogey? Why am I not surprised. She minimized his relationship with his son, who now lives fulltime with his mom, then she took away his plane and now his charity event? It's ALL about HER, no? Then again he cheats on her every few months so maybe this is her way of getting revenge.

    I just love it when celebs tell lies for the sake of good PR….

  60. Bogey says – reply to this

    You've nailed it Tinker.
    Not sure how often he cheats on Kimberly or if he still does, but I do know for a fact that he has.

    "It's ALL about HER, no?"
    The first year at the charity event after they'd married, Kimberly threw a fit because Dennis went up to his room to go to bed. It was very late at night and it had been a very long day for him.. golfing, going to hospitals and meeting the children, doing radio shows etc. She was down in the hotel bar with some of her girlfriends crying and drinking. She was angry at Dennis because he wouldn't stay down there with her and party.
    At last year's event, several of us heard her blast Dennis for about 30 minutes because she was having to share her space with the lowly volunteers at the Belmont. There was an after party being held there on the outside patio for the volunteers and staff.
    Dennis always seems genuinely appreciative of all the volunteers for all their hard work and never once fails to thank them. Kimberly on the other hand appears to still have her "head up her ass". Maybe once she turns 40 she will realize that life isn't all about her, but I think not.

    Dennis may be nice to those volunteers, but he sure was dumb enough to marry that woman. Why didn't he just stay single? It's like he has forgotten about his previous life, including his older son.

    rumor around austin was kimberly was preggers and that's the reason dennis married her. they were engaged for about a month before they married. then she had a miscarriage. of course this never made the tabloids but her miscarriage history recently did.

    I don't understand how a woman who has gone through the heartache so many miscarriages is able to accept her husband sleeping with other women, with and without her. Maybe now that she is a mom she will be less forgiving and accepting. I sure hope so.

    "I don't understand how a woman who has gone through the heartache so many miscarriages is able to accept her husband sleeping with other women, with and without her. Maybe now that she is a mom she will be less forgiving and accepting. I sure hope so".

    I'm the original "Bogey" & I see someone else is using my name. Whereas I didn't post this I do agree with the post. However, I think Kimberly loves the lifestyle that Dennis can provide her with, so she overlooks his cheating.
