Jerry Doyle Quotations

When you can empower an individual - to me, that's the best.

I'd like to work, but with how I am - I can't. I could feel everything (including my health) was running out, and I just couldn't do it anymore.

There are so many talented actors in Hollywood that never get a chance to work, and it's not because they can't do it - it's because it's a very uncomfortable, unsettling, non-theatrical environment to get a job.

We were talking, we had a table read or something, he said, "Jerry, how are you with horses?" I said, "I grew up with them all my life." He said, "Oh, that's great!" I said, "Yeah, they all had cops on them".

It's a shame people would stoop to this kind of thing. We have to look at these crimes and see if there is anything else we can do.

If somebody was smart enough right now to come out and say, "You know what, we've got the people, we've got the money, we've got the time - let's cure cancer by the end of the decade." If we don't try, shame on us - because we can do it.

If you're just sucking eggs and it's not working out for you - then find something that makes you want to get out of bed in the morning, hit the floor running, and say, "Damn, this is going to be a great day." Because when you wake up in the morning, you're already ahead of the game.

Money is only a vehicle that provides you with options, and I say there's only one thing that money can't buy - poverty.

I'm not sure what I want to do when I grow up, or if I'm sure I ever want to grow up. I'm sure there are people that wish I would, but you know, my mom will get over it.

We have common enemies today. It's called childhood poverty. It's called cancer. It's called AIDS. It's called Parkinson's. It's called Muscular Dystrophy.

A large part of the people in Hollywood are sheep - and I don't say that unkindly, I say that politically - if Spielberg and Streisand and Geffen and the others were Republicans tomorrow, you would see a shortage of paper to try and change registrations.

When my dad first started out in the police force, wearing the uniform was a sense of pride, and it was respected in the community for what the police force was all about. Unfortunately today, the uniform is a target.

I believe in financial retirement. I don't necessarily believe in physical retirement.

Brooklyn, when I was growing up, was awesome. It was stoopball and stickball - a lot of kids... the baby boom generation were all in the area. It was just a really great place.

I was never really sure what I wanted to do - I'm in awe of these people who knew at age 10 or 12 they wanted to be a brain surgeon, and they did it, and they still are.

I used to skip out of high school and go flying. It was just one of those things, I thought it was kind of a cool thing to do. I never thought about doing that as a profession, but I started checking things out and I found out there was a flight school down in Daytona Beach, called Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

When you're 23, 24 years old and somebody's given you a credit card and jets and limos and you don't have to pay the bill when it comes in - that's a pretty nice deal.

I was 35 years old and in a position to take a shot at whatever I wanted to try. The Air Force said I was too old to fly fighter jets. I thought about becoming a fishing boat captain, before deciding that acting seemed pretty cool.

I never realized that growing up in Brooklyn, flying jets, working on Wall Street and starring in a sci-fi series was the prerequisite for the fast-paced demands of talk radio. But, if that's what it takes to succeed, I'm glad I did it all.

I call it like I see it. I don't hold back when it comes to being candid on the hot issues.

If you're not having fun - I don't care what you're doing - don't do it. Move on. Find something else, life's too short.

Five days a week my body is a temple; the other two, it's an amusement park.
