Gary Lockwood's Quotes

• I'm an actor. I've done a little bit of everything. An actor is kind of like a cowboy. The show's over on Sunday and then you ride off to the next gig. Basically, that's what show business is all about.
• Chicks love dough. Any kind. Cookies, muffins, and money.
• It's kind of what life is all about. If you don't have some of that recognition between now and the time you die, it wouldn't be a hell of a lot of fun being here. But I've been blessed throughout my life to have those kinds of accolades. I've just been lucky.
• I've been very fortunate. I've played football, I've crashed cars, I chased a lot of girls, I've got a great education, I've done stunt work, and I got to work with many wonderful people in my career. What more could I have asked for?
