If everything isn't black and white, I say, 'Why the hell not?'

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

One look that works is better than twenty lines of dialogue.

All battles are fought by scared men who'd rather be some place else.

The guy you see on the screen isn’t really me. I’m Duke Morrison, and I never was and never will be a film personality like JOHN WAYNE . I know him well. I’m one of his closest students. I have to be. I made a living out of him.

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.

I am an old-fashioned, honest-to-goodness, flag waving patriot.
