Rick Schroder Quotes
• I always knew I was going to be a family man.
• I always thought I had a problem socially, because I was pulled out of school so early. I had a tough time talking to other kids and being comfortable with them.
• I don`t know why it is, but sometimes I feel like I`m 60. It`s like I`ve been around for a long time. I felt that way even when I was 8.
• I feel like I`m a fighter. I`ve fought my whole life to get to where I`m at. I like fight movies. When someone gets knocked down, I like to root for him to succeed.
• I met the Queen, the Pope, and we went all over Europe and Asia. I just wish I was older when I did all this. Then I could appreciate it more.
• I really enjoy the writing process because I can do it from my house. I can create these characters and take them in the different directions that I want to take them. You have a lot of freedom as a writer.
• I think one of the things that saved me is that I never put all my eggs in one basket.
• I was never really comfortable doing comedy. Though it was good the first couple of years, there were problems, and it became a stifling experience. I was happy it ended.
• I was very outgoing, and a good-looking kid. I started doing all the catalogs. I made 60 commercials by the time I was 6. I must have been a natural, because I never took an acting lesson.
• I weren't an actor, I'd be a wildlife biologist or forest ranger.
• It's difficult being a child actor. I don't think everything beautiful has to be exploited. Some things can be beautiful and left beautiful.
• The long hours required to shoot NYPD Blue would prevent me from being where I really want to be at this time - which is with my family.
• There have been times I almost got a persecution complex. I felt like people wouldn`t let me grow up. They always saw me as a smiling kid or goofy teenager, no matter how much I`d changed.
• Trying to understand women is a tall order period.
• It's an opportunity to show off your film and get feedback, while a lot of them never get mainstream. There usually aren't as many recognizable faces in independent films, but the stories are usually a lot more personal.
• It's exceeded my expectations, in every way, really. The people are nicer than I imagined they could have been. They were more supportive of me than I hoped they would be.”
• For the people that may not think I'm capable of it, I'd like to see their reaction to me in six months,”
• I've been very blessed. My parents always told me I could be anything I wanted. When you grow up in a household like that, you learn to believe in yourself. Consequently, my ego and self-esteem have never been locked up just in acting. So, when I'm succeeding or failing, I'm still the same person.
• If I weren't an actor, I'd be a wildlife biologist or forest ranger.
• I was very outgoing, and a good-looking kid. I started doing all the catalogs. I made 60 commercials by the time I was 6. I must have been a natural, because I never took an acting lesson.
