- Gary Sinise: (about the audiences who see his band perform) They're curious as to what the hell I'm actually going to be doing in the band. Usually when they show up and hear us, they're shocked and surprised that we're actually good. We play a good, long show. There are a lot of fun moments.

- Gary Sinise: (on founding Steppenwolf theater with friends at the age of 19) We all made sacrifices. We decided not to make any money out of it for quite a long time. We ate a lot of macaroni and cheese and tuna fish and went to the theater and worked all night and went and worked other jobs in the day.
