John Wayne

John Wayne
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
Westerns are closer to art than anything else in the motion picture business.
John Wayne
I drink for comradeship, and when I drink for comradeship, I don't bother to keep count.
