- John C. McGinley: (about the Buddy Walk website) If you get on that Web site, you're going to find out you're not alone. You're not from Mars, you didn't do anything wrong, you've been blessed with a gift and you have a chance to bring up a child who's going to be just a stunning, stunning person here.

- John C. McGinley: You go to the hospital your wife's in labor and you're doing the thing, and then it's very disorienting and scary and you beat yourself up and you go through a whole period of 'woe is me' and then you realize that this a gift, this child is the light, and if you can nourish that light and just let it shine, you have an opportunity to get closer to what I think is God.

- John C. McGinley: (about his son Max) Is he going to be a brain surgeon? Probably not. But you want to foster an environment and a landscape where he can excel and do whatever he can do. What a wonderful thing to be able to say, that a child got a chance to do what he or she was able to do.
