The Western is as American as a film can get - there's the discovery of a frontier, the element of a showdown, revenge, and determining the best gunman. There's a certain masculinity to the Western that really appealed to me, and I've always wanted to do a Western in Hollywood.

I really want to do a western film. It's one of my favorite movie genres of all time.

I decided to write Westerns because there was a terrific market for Westerns in the '50s. There were a lot of pulp magazines, like 'Dime Western' and '10 Story Western' that were still being published. The better ones paid two cents a word. And I thought, 'I like Westerns.'

As a matter of fact, I find the Western cinema very fantastic.

I love westerns, I'd love to make more of them.

If I could just make Westerns for the rest of my life, that's all I would do. It's my favorite movie to make. There's something about being a cowboy.

I love westerns. John Ford is one of the 10 best directors.

I love westerns. I've always wanted to do a western.

I would love to do a Western someday. Every time I watch any of them, I'm so envious.
