Shooting stuff on horseback is more complicated and time consuming than anything else.

John Wayne was a consummate gentleman. Bigger than life.

I'm just glad that the whole John Wayne persona of a man is sort of old school now, because I'd never be able to do that. If that was the going rate today, I wouldn't be working.

John Wayne represents more force, more power than anyone else on the screen.

I guess John Wayne would be one. I just respected the way he acted.

Yakima Canutt was famously John Wayne's stunt double, and in the Western movie 'Stagecoach,' there is a fantastic scene where there are some horses thundering along, pulling a carriage. He climbs out onto the horses and drops down underneath them, so he's being dragged along, and then he lets go.

There was a time when cowboys respected their horses instead of riding them to death just to show off for a crowd.

Sometimes I feel like John Wayne.

People don't realize how long hours are when you're shooting a movie.
