Quaid went on to star in hits such asInnerspace,Great Balls of Fire!, andThe Parent Trap.
But as his star rose, his struggles worsened.
“I grew up at the Baptist church,” Quaid explained.
“I love the hymns that I remember from being a kid.
The songs are self-reflective and self-examining, not churchy.
All of us have a relationship with God, whether you’re a Christian or not.”
Now, the married father of three is “the happiest I’ve ever been.”
For him, sobriety is an ongoing struggle with a joyous result.
