Love is a tyrant, resisted (John Ford Quotes)
Diamonds cut diamonds (John Ford Quotes)
How did I get to Hollywood? By train (John Ford Quotes)
I love westerns. John Ford is one of the 10 best directors (John Ford Quotes)
Affections injured by tyranny, or rigor of compulsion, like tempest-threatened trees, unfirmly rooted, never spring to timely growth (John Ford Quotes)
Occasionally you get some luck in pictures. More occasionally you have had luck. If something happens that wasn’t premeditated, photograph it (John Ford Quotes)
I’d love to do a Western. A real Western like John Ford used to do. There’s not too many of them made, so I don’t know if I’ll ever get to do that. They’re awfully hard movies to make (John Ford Quotes)
I watched a lot of silent directors who were absolutely great like John Ford and Fritz Lang, Tod Browning, and also some very modern directors like The Coen Brothers. The directors take the freedom within their own movies to be melodramatic or funny when they chose to be. They do whatever they want and they don’t care about the genre (John Ford Quotes)
I went to Europe with Spencer Tracy. What a thrill, working with John Ford when I was a kid (John Ford Quotes)
I think over the course of 14 films, I’m returning to a place that I know to tell a story... the same way Spielberg returned to fantasy, Lucas returned to the ‘Star Wars’ saga, or John Ford returned to the western (John 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. (John Ford Quotes)
I didn’t even know what a film director was. To me, Charlie Chaplin was a goofy clown, and John Ford - what? Never heard of him. (John Ford Quotes)

Love is dead; let lovers’ eyes, Locked in endless dreams, The extremes of all extremes, Ope no more, for now Love dies. (John Ford Quotes)
Not only does God play dice with the universe, He’s using loaded dice (John Ford Quotes)
