Personal Life

After graduating from NYU in 1968 Chase moved to California and married his high school sweetheart Denise Kelly. He is the father of actress Michele DeCesare who starred in The Sopranos as Hunter Scangarelo. Despite (or perhaps because of) his lengthy career within the medium Chase claims to "loathe and despise" television shows, only watching The Sopranos and otherwise preferring to watch films.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
