What I like about New York City is nobody cares. If they do, they don’t ever approach. They just give you a ‘What’s up?’ and that’s it. – Chaske Spencer
I remember hearing stories from my mother and father about their parents and grandparents when they were taken off the reservation, taken to the boarding schools, and pretty much taught to be ashamed of who they were as Native Americans. You can feel that impact today. – Chaske Spencer
There was a point – when I was a kid – where I said I wanted to be like Luke Skywalker, with blond hair and blue eyes. My mom right there told me to never be ashamed of who I am. – Chaske Spencer
A couple of girls I’ve signed autographs for have just cried or broken out into tears. – Chaske Spencer
On the film sets of ‘New Moon’ and ‘Eclipse,’ I feel safe. It’s like you’re in the center of the hurricane, but outside is where it starts to get chaotic. – Chaske Spencer
I remember my dad, who coached football, would buy some of his players football shoes when they couldn’t afford it. – Chaske Spencer

The acting part is easy; it’s the preparing – lifting weights and getting your body in tip-top shape – that’s the hard part. – Chaske Spencer
It’s not a bad day at work when you just have to take your shirt off for a big franchise movie. There are worse jobs out there! – Chaske Spencer
Where I come from, there were traditions with my race and whenever you faced a curve in life, there was always a tradition. – Chaske Spencer
