[reflecting on his lengthy acting career] "It`s always seemed to me like a mission. A holy one, like the Blues Brothers. It`s a marathon. You can`t quit, even coming in dead last has honor. Quitting doesn`t. Look, I had absolute faith in my future when I ...

[On quitting That 70s Show]: "It`s heartbreaking, because there`s no funner job in the universe than being one of those six kids. I was in my teens when I started. It`s ridiculous to even try to imagine my life without being able to laugh all day with tho...

Elliott Smith
I know I didn`t quit, ... I think in the second half there wasn`t one aspect of the game I think we did correctly. I`m sure from the coaches` standpoint it looks like the team is quitting.

Drugs were pretty easy to quit taking. I was never addicted to anything to begin with. But then, liquor-I had to wait about another six years before I finally got around to quitting that. I`m sure glad I did.
