Text Quotes
The man does not beat your head because you got a Cadillac or because you got a Ford; he beats you because you’re black (Ford Quotes)
The fact was, Ford kept stumbling around. I didn’t want him in the White House. I wanted Carter in, and I had a forum of 20 million people watching (Ford Quotes)
With the Ford Foundation grant all of a sudden instead of being an artist that had made a couple of short films, I became a filmmaker who dabbled in the arts (Ford Quotes)
Frank Capra was a prop man, I think. John Ford was a prop man. It was a little bit of a father and son thing, and you kind of worked your way up (Ford Quotes)
Tom Ford just started at Gucci and was getting great notoriety - like Madonna wearing that head-to-toe velvet suit at the MTV awards. I remember it like it was yesterday (Ford Quotes)
Ford O’Connell, the guy in the sound bite we just played, he’s the guy who said that nominating a conservative presidential candidate would just postpone the GOP nightmare (Ford Quotes)
I don’t remember anything anybody said in any Jack Ford picture. Nothing happens except action (Ford Quotes)
In the current [Carter] administration, who can use the White House swimming pool and tennis courts is decided at the very highest level. President Ford did not bother himself with such minor details. He let me swim in the pool. He only got upset when I tried to walk across the water (Ford Quotes)
I’m a Catholic, and I have always been fascinated by not just my religion, but religion in general, in the sense that it is the ultimate brand that they’re trying to sell. Whereas Ford is trying to sell cars, the Vatican is trying to sell salvation, which is a much better product to be peddling (Ford Quotes)
I never wanted Ford to be a place, like the tobacco industry, where our employees were not proud of coming to work for us. I felt there was a danger of that, should we be marginalized as a major polluter (Ford Quotes)
When I joined Ford, in the late 1970s, I felt strongly we could not forever be a huge user of natural resources without there being consequences. But I was alone in my thinking in those days (Ford Quotes)
The innocence of those who grind the faces of the poor, but refrain from pinching the bottoms of their neighbour’s wives! The innocence of Ford, the innocence of Rockefeller! The nineteenth century was the Age of Innocence--that sort of innocence. With the result that we’re now almost ready to say that a man is seldom more innocently employed than when making love (Ford Quotes)
One main condition of aristocratic life was present in the South and not in the North--personal responsibility to other human beings for education and material welfare. (A Carnegie or a Ford, like a bureaucracy, molds the lives of millions without taking any responsibility.) (Ford Quotes)
Gerald Ford was unknown throughout America. Now he’s unknown throughout the world (Ford Quotes)
Diversification is something that stock brokers came up with to protect themselves, so they wouldn’t get sued for making bad investment choices for clients. Henry Ford never diversified, Bill Gates didn’t diversify. The way to get rich is to put your eggs in one basket, but watch that basket very carefully. And make sure you have the right basket (Ford Quotes)
I got my first car when I was 16, but I didn’t have a license. It was a Ford Escape. And I just let it sit there for two years, because I enjoyed having my mom drive me (Ford Quotes)
I like how you can go back and watch David Lean and John Ford and see the influence that had on Steven Spielberg, especially David Lean, in the camerawork, and yet, you don’t watch any Spielberg movie and think of David Lean. Once you’re looking for it, you see it all, but it’s not in your face (Ford Quotes)
[Akiro] Kurosawa, no doubt, was a big influence. Movies sometimes more than directors have influenced me: The Grapes of Wrath, by John Ford, was an extraordinary discovery. Sergei Eisenstein, of course. Later on, [Ingmar] Bergman (Ford Quotes)
I saw Ben Stiller’s movie Walter Mitty [2013]; it’s very beautiful. You look at some of the movies John Ford did with John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, and then look at Remington and Ansel Adams, and I think you see a connection, certainly in the imagery of the West (Ford Quotes)
You’d get on the plane; and every single person is somebody really, really famous. It just killed me. On one flight you’d have Linda Gray, O.J. Simpson, Robert De Niro, Carol Burnett, Loni Anderson and Burt Reynolds... and Francis Ford Coppola (Ford Quotes)
The problem that we’ve had is four media companies run media, globally. And some say they’re on the Right and some say they’re on the Left; look, they’re all afraid of losing Ford as a client. So they’re all, by definition, huge companies that are going to be inherently conservative. (Ford Quotes)
Martin Scorcese is probably America’s greatest living director, and while he is not a titan like John Ford or Alfred Hitchcock or Federico Fellini, he is certainly consistently more interesting than Steven Spielberg, Brian de Palma, Francis Ford Coppola or Woody Allen. Even a failure like Gangs of New York or a curiosity like The Aviator is more interesting and ambitious than Munich, The Black Dahlia or Scoop. (Ford Quotes)
Tom Ford once told me that he found French women sexier than American ones. He said: Americans are too clean . . . I took no offense. (Ford Quotes)
The running joke on set [of the Westworlds] was that everyone at some point thinks that they’re Anthony Hopkins. Like, Guys, I think I’m Dr. Ford. I’m Anthony Hopkins. That’s the twist. We love all of the theories. Part of the fun of that show is figuring it out. (Ford Quotes)
The person I liked the best was Gerald R. Ford. He was the most decent man in politics I ever had any relationships with. (Ford Quotes)
In an infinite Universe anything can happen, said Ford, Even survival. Strange but true. (Ford Quotes)
The standard rumor at the time was that Rumsfeld, as chief of staff, had persuaded President Ford to appoint George H.W. Bush as director of Central Intelligence, assuming that that got rid of a potential competitor for the presidency. (Ford Quotes)
I’m very silly as a person, but quality silliness on-screen has more of an art to it. Harrison Ford, whom I was in ‘Morning Glory’ with, has mastered that dry funny better than anyone. (Ford Quotes)
Harrison Ford was pretty content as a carpenter who thought it would be nice to work on TV and ended up being the biggest film star in the history of cinema. (Ford Quotes)
I still carry the residue of the pressure I felt as a child to read and appreciate the right books. Growing up, I never allowed myself to read beach reading. I was always plowing through Ford Madox Ford’s ‘Good Solider’ or something I wasn’t equipped to understand. (Ford Quotes)
