Give the American people a good cause, and there's nothing they can't lick.

This kind of war, you've gotta believe in what you're fighting for.

We built your fort. We will not have it used against us.

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.

I don't want ever to appear in a film that would embarrass a viewer. A man can take his wife, mother, and his daughter to one of my movies and never be ashamed or embarrassed for going.

My main object in making a motion picture is entertainment. If at the same time I can strike a blow for liberty, then I'll stick one in.

Hell, the truth is that I was named after a dog!
