- Rich, smooth voice
- Multiethnic roles, especially onstage and in films
- Donated blood to John Barrymore whenever the older actor needed a transfusion.
- Was very fond of Keanu Reeves. They became friends during the filming of La vallée des nuages (1995).
- Before he launched his acting career, Quinn worked odd jobs as a butcher, a boxer, street corner preacher and a slaughterhouse worker. He also won a scholarship to study architecture with Frank Lloyd Wright, with whom he developed a close relationship.
- Was good friends with actress Maureen O'Hara, they starred together six times. The films are Le Cygne noir (1942), Buffalo Bill (1944), Sinbad le marin (1947), À l'abordage (1952), The Magnificent Matador (1955) and Ma blonde, ma mère et moi (1991).
- Had appeared in more movies with other Oscar-winning actors than any other Oscar-winning actor - a total of 46 Oscar-winning co-stars (28 male, 18 female).
- In Europe, an actor is an artist. In Hollywood, if he isn't working, he's a bum.
- [when asked about his ethnicity] It doesn't make a difference as long as I'm a person in the world.
- I never get the girl. I wind up with a country instead. They said all I was good for was playing Indians.
- I can't retire. I mean, I started working when I was a year and a half old, and I worked all my life.
- [In the 1980s] I don't see many men today. I see a lot of guys running around on television with small waists, but I don't see many men.
