John Wayne Quotes

My dad was very much a John Wayne kind of guy, but he was also a great guy, great sense of humor, a real dedicated dad. I don’t think he ever missed a hockey game I was in Picture Quote #1

The Japanese couldn’t have been all bad during World War II. Look at all the movies Hollywood was able to make on account of them. The Indians weren’t the only bad guys. Thanks to the Japanese and Geronimo, John Wayne became a millionaire Picture Quote #1

This dazzling, unput-downable debut novel proves beyond a doubt that Dan Wells has the gift. His teenage protagonist is as chilling as he is endearing. More John Wayne Cleaver, please Picture Quote #1

I’d like to be the John Wayne of the 90s. Not in terms of being the macho guy, but as a solid male leading character. Making an action-adventure comedy that kids can see with their families is a natural extension of what I did in wrestling Picture Quote #1

There may be something in the fact that when I was a little kid I’d been told growing up that we had some degree of native American blood in us, I always found that a point of pride.

Making a martial arts film in English to me is the same as John Wayne speaking Chinese in a western Picture Quote #1

I don’t want any romantics to go into the military. I’m not a pacifist. I think we need a military, and the better one we have, the better off we are. I don’t want kids going in there thinking that it’s John Wayne on Iwo Jima. That’s not healthy Picture Quote #1

Acting is about listening and reacting. John Wayne was right: Acting is just reacting. You don’t have to do much - as long as you stay out of the way of others. That’s why it works Picture Quote #1

Everybody that I was in school with had an uncle or father in the law, and I started to realize that I was going to end up writing briefs for about ten years for these fellows who I thought I was smarter than. And I was kind of losing my feeling for that Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I’m not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be Picture Quote #1
