The defining aspects of westerns are still pretty much in place - namely landscape and conflict. In other books the conflict can be internal, but in westerns it usually plays out on a big stage.
Elizabeth Crook
Image
I would very much like to make Westerns. I love Westerns. I've worked on many Westerns in my youth, in Spain and here, and I love working on them.
John Landis
Image
Probably the greatest writer of westerns himself was Homer. His character were never all good or all bad. They're half and half, these characters, as all human beings are.
Sergio Leone
Image
Suddenly, Westerns, which were our action films and what the working man went to see to blow off steam and have a good time, became boring to most people growing up from the Eighties on, because they're kind of pastoral.
Quentin Tarantino
Image
I never got in this business, in cinema, to make horror movies. They arrived on my doorstep and I got typecast. Which was fine, I enjoy it, but I got into this business to make westerns. And the kind of westerns I used to see, they died. So that didn't work out.
John Carpenter

The copycat effects of media violence, similar to those previously attributed to westerns, radio serials and comic books, are easy to exaggerate.
Hugh Mackay

I watched Westerns from the time I was a girl. My dad was a big Western fan. I always loved Clint Eastwood movies and Westworld, where the guy gets trapped in a western-themed amusement park. The western motif was fascinating to me.
Kimberly Elise

I love horses, and I love all of it. The sights and sounds and smells, the whole genre of Westerns - I love them. And I know they're rare for actors to get to do, and they're even more rare for women to get to do, so I really think I was drinking in the experience on so many levels.
Mary Steenburgen
Image
Even the Westerns that I grew up with, the Sergio Leone's and all that, there was always a sort of anti-hero, a guy reluctant to shame even, to pick up the gun again because he wants to help other people, and he does, he uses his skills for that.
Antoine Fuqua
Image
Westerns are a type of picture which everybody can see and enjoy. Westerns always make money. And they always increase a star's fan following.
Randolph Scott
Image
I've thought about doing other dramatic roles besides westerns, but I grew up in the West and I know the West.
Ken Curtis
Image
I'm really glad Westerns have had a revival. Hopefully our little resurgence will last a while.
David Mackenzie
Image
I tend to lean more towards the Westerns of the 40s and 50s as opposed to the 60s and 70s. They get a little too drab for me when you get into the Spaghetti Western era. I love the John Ford movies. I love the music. I love the scope.
Seth MacFarlane
Image
I am not a fan of westerns particularly.
Patrice Leconte
Image
I felt pretty comfortable with Westerns, apart from the fact I couldn't ride.
Richard Widmark
Image
I initially studied literature [in France], and then I went to cinema school. I discovered the Cinematheque, and saw not only action movies and westerns, but also lots of serious movies.
Costa-Gavras
Image
One of the biggest roles of science fiction is to prepare people to accept the future without pain and to encourage a flexibility of the mind. Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories.
Arthur C. Clarke
Image
In Westerns you were permitted to kiss your horse but never your girl.
Gary Cooper
Image
I'm really interested in experimental works, so the people that I admired the most was Dziga Vertov, Sergey Eisenstein, people from the '20s. Also, I loved John Ford and his westerns. The New Wave was not tender to women.
Babette Mangolte
Image
I would love to do a Western again if Westerns came back into fashion.
Bruce Boxleitner
Image
Unless a Western's made money - doesn't matter who made the money, doesn't matter what the subject is - if the last one didn't make any money, you can't make another one for a four-year period. Westerns more than any genre.
Val Kilmer
Image
Comedy, drama, Westerns, sci-fi... it's all fine if the story's compelling and the character is interesting to me. I do like action a lot.
Jensen Ackles
Image
I really liked the Mariachi singing in Westerns.
Harry Dean Stanton
Image
In all good westerns, the good guy is always a little bit questionable because he kind-of has to make moral judgments.
Daniel Craig
