A native of [[Indianapolis]], Quayle spent most of his childhood in [[Paradise Valley, Arizona|Paradise Valley]], a suburb of [[Phoenix, Arizona]]. He married [[Marilyn Quayle|Marilyn Tucker]] in 1972 and obtained his [[Juris Doctor|J.D.]] degree from the [[Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law]] in 1974.

In [[1988 United States presidential election|1988]], incumbent vice president and [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] presidential nominee [[George H. W. Bush]] chose Quayle as his running mate. His vice presidential debate against [[Lloyd Bentsen]] was notable for Bentsen's "[[Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy]]" quip. The Bush–Quayle ticket defeated the Democratic ticket of [[Michael Dukakis]] and Bentsen, and Quayle
In 1994, Quayle published his memoir, ''Standing Firm''. He declined to run for president in 1996 because of [[phlebitis]]. He sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2000 but withdrew his campaign early on and supported the eventual nominee, [[George W. Bush]]. He joined [[Cerberus Capital Management]], a private-equity firm, in 1999. Since leaving office, Quayle has remained active in the Republican Party, including making presidential endorsements in [[2000 United States presidential election|2000]], [[2012 United States presidential election|2012]], and [[2016 United States presidential election|2016]].

On August 16, 1988, at the Republican convention in New Orleans, Louisiana, George H. W. Bush chose Quayle to be his running mate in the [[1988 United States presidential election]]. The choice immediately became controversial.<ref name="Quagmire" /> Outgoing President Reagan praised Quayle for his "energy and enthusiasm".<ref>{{cite news|last1=Roberts|first1=Steven|title=Reagan Praises Quayle, Citing 'Enthusiasm'|work=The New York Times |date=August 21, 1988|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/08/21/us/reagan-praises-quayle-citing-enthusiasm.html|access-date=December 9, 2016|archive-date=June 14, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180614203437/https://www.nytimes.com/1988/08/21/us/reagan-praises-quayle-citing-enthusiasm.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Press coverage of the convention was dominated by questions about "the three Quayle problems".<ref name="NYTimesGarbled" /> The questions involved his military service, a golf holiday in Florida where he and several other politicians shared a house with lobbyist Paula Parkinson,<ref>{{Cite news|last=Maxa|first=Rudy|date=March 29, 1981|title=The Paula Parkinson Story|language=en-US|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1981/03/29/the-paula-parkinson-story/df932614-289d-4f44-a0fb-5416259c2446/|access-date=December 7, 2020|issn=0190-8286|archive-date=August 6, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180806161143/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1981/03/29/the-paula-parkinson-story/df932614-289d-4f44-a0fb-5416259c2446/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> and whether he had enough experience to be vice president.

In the [[1988 United States presidential debates|October 1988 vice-presidential debate]], Quayle debated Democratic candidate [[Lloyd Bentsen]]. During the debate, Quayle's strategy was to criticize Dukakis as too liberal. When the debate turned to Quayle's relatively limited experience in public life, he compared the length of his congressional service (12 years) with that of President [[John F. Kennedy]] (14 years); Kennedy had less experience than his rivals during the 1960 presidential nomination. It was a factual comparison, although Quayle's advisers cautioned beforehand that it could be used against him. Bentsen's response—"I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. [[Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy]]"—subsequently became a part of the political lexicon.<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/newshour/spc/debatingourdestiny/interviews/quayle.html Dan Quayle Interview] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171108035528/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/spc/debatingourdestiny/interviews/quayle.html |date=November 8, 2017 }} PBS.

Quayle has since described the vice presidency as "an awkward office. You're president of the Senate. You're not even officially part of the executive branch—you're part of the legislative branch.

The "[[Murphy Brown#Murphy becomes a single mother|Murphy Brown speech]]" became one of the most memorable of the 1992 campaign. Long after the outcry had ended, the comment continued to have an effect on U.S. politics.

== Indiana National Guard controversy ==
Since the [[1988 United States elections]], Quayle has been the subject of controversy regarding his service in the Indiana National Guard from 1969 to 1975.
