People have come to me for my opinion since ‘October Baby.’ But, hey, look, I’m an actor who is very fortunate to be in a movie that’s making wonderful noise, and hopefully helping parents and children to be a little closer. Leave me alone. I’m not talking about politics. I’m just trying to have a conversation with my own kids. John Schneider
Not many skeletons left in my closet because I invite them to dance all over the front room! John Schneider

When a script like ‘Hardflip’ comes along, with a real depiction of the rewards of a father-son relationship but also the difficulties of building one, you have my attention. John Schneider
It infuriates me that when people forget what it’s like not to be a Christian, and they get into other people’s face about their life or their beliefs. It’s amazing to me that people feel their relationship is so solid with God that they have enough time on their hands to question mine or to fix mine. John Schneider
I’m actually from Mt. Kisco, New York, which is in Westchester County, and when I auditioned for ‘Dukes,’ I told them I was from Snailville, Georgia, which doesn’t exist, and I’d just graduated first in my class from the Georgia School of High Performance Driving, which also doesn’t exist. But they bought it. John Schneider

I’m from New York, I’m 53, I have my moments when I’m a nice guy, and more frequently I have my moments where I’m a middle-aged aggravated person. For years I was always the nice guy, so in life I had to pretend to be the nice guy. John Schneider
Friends don’t let friends jump cars. John Schneider
My biggest change is what is important to me, and what is not. What’s worthy worrying about, and what is not. When we’re younger, we tend to spend too much time worrying and going over the unnecessary. I’m no longer running the hamster wheel. John Schneider

In ‘Hardflip,’ you have a relationship where the father and son haven’t seen each other in 18 years, but they find they’re very alike: pigheaded, stubborn, passionate. It’s a wonderful story of how you can’t get away from how similar you and your children are. John Schneider
I’ve been involved in the offering-up-adoption-as-another-choice business for a long time. John Schneider

Shows have a tendency to end when they’re over. ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’ has not ended for the fans, and it has not ended for the cast or the crew, and I’m very proud to be a part of that. John Schneider
