We brought nothing into this world and it’s certain we can carry nothing out.

John Wayne

I don’t have to assert my virility. I think my career has shown that I’m not exactly a pantywaist. But I do take pride in my work, even to the point of being the first one on the set in the morning. I’m a professional.
JOHN WAYNE

Gentleman Man Men
Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words give you a feeling.

JOHN WAYNE

Daughter Embraces Man Mother
I stick to simple themes. Love. Hate. No nuances. I stay away from psychoanalyst’s couch scenes. Couches are good for one thing.
JOHN WAYNE

Hate Nuance Simple
Westerns are closer to art than anything else in the motion picture business.

America is the land of freedom and that’s the way I enjoy living.
JOHN WAYNE

Country Land People Person Way
I figured I needed a gimmick, so I dreamed up this drawl, the squint and a way of moving meant to suggest that I wasn’t looking for trouble but would just as soon throw a bottle at your head as not. I practiced in front of a mirror.
JOHN WAYNE
