Western / Westerns Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Western / Westerns:

I started out as a very young girl in Hollywood doing westerns portraying a mother with a couple of kids. Dorothy Malone

But if one could go back in time, I'd love to have been directed by Howard Hawks, who's one of my great heroes. One of the greatest directors there ever was. He directed probably one of the greatest westerns of all time in 'Rio Bravo'.

Stephen Fry

I love Westerns. They're a unique creation of American mythology.

Simon Toyne

I made over forty Westerns. I used to lie awake nights trying to think up new ways of getting on and off a horse.

William Wyler

My uncle Randall always had a book in his hand. He read in the car, he read at restaurants, he read when you were talking to him. He read lots of different things, but mostly it was Louis L'Amour's westerns and contemporary thrillers.

Stephen Graham Jones

I'm not a great science fiction fan myself. I probably feel that way about Westerns. Like I used to play Cowboys and Indians, they can act out Will and the Robot.

Mark Goddard

When I was putting the 'Best of Hollywood' book together, I sat down and added up just the list of Westerns I've done, and it came to well over 200.

James Best

I started out as a very young girl in Hollywood doing westerns portraying a mother with a couple of kids.

Dorothy Malone

I've always read broadly: literary fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, chick lit, historical, dystopian, nonfiction, memoir. I've even read Westerns. I prefer female protagonists.

Sandra Cisneros

I think you're going to find out that westerns will be coming back. It's Americana, it's part of our history, the cowboy, the cattle drive, the sheriff, the fight for law, order and justice. Justice will always prevail as far as I'm concerned.

Clayton Moore

If you look at the great Westerns, and at Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology, they all contain elements in common: a harsh landscape; demons or outlaws trying to stop or kill the protagonist; and there are mythical legends at their core, innate in all cultures.

Simon Toyne

My parents were huge fans of westerns, European cinema, and horror in particular. They wouldn't just show me kids' films.

Hideo Kojima

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

I did 10 years of comedies and 10 years of Westerns. I really like to stay away from car chases. I prefer the more intimate film. You have a much more direct association with the emotions.

Elmer Bernstein

I love westerns. It's guys being guys. There's no room for frilly stuff.

Jason Statham

One of my favorites of all time was with Jim Jarmusch, called 'Dead Man.' I was in that with Johnny Depp. I ride really well, and I shoot a gun really well. I love the genre. Once I did Westerns, I was hooked.

Lance Henriksen

I loved Westerns for different reasons as an adult. It is not only our only native brand of storytelling - the only one that's not influenced by Europeans and not something that's done better by the French - but I also love the sensuality of the Western. The sights, sounds, and smell of a Western are very exciting.

Mary Steenburgen

We're not nearly as violent as the westerns.

Moe Howard

You don't get to make Westerns every day.

Mary Steenburgen

When I was working my way up, it seemed to me that only Westerns and 'Star Treks' or sci-fi movies could afford to get away with presenting the problems - like prejudice and desegregation, for instance - that we face in our everyday lives.

Ed Asner

'3:10 to Yuma' was one that I just kept on talking and thinking about after reading it. And I think the reason is because, like in most Westerns, you have the very clear-cut bad-guy/good-guy, however, as the movie progresses, you kind of see that it's a very fine line that divides these two.

Christian Bale

I never dreamed I would do Westerns.

Eli Wallach

Samurai films, like westerns, need not be familiar genre stories. They can expand to contain stories of ethical challenges and human tragedy.

Roger Ebert

I felt pretty comfortable with Westerns, apart from the fact I couldn't ride.

Richard Widmark

Nothing ever changes as far as Westerns are concerned. They are the same today as they were years ago.

Glenn Ford

But, you know there's a lot of westerns - not that they were bad - it's just that they can be remade because they're great stories that aren't indelible in an audience's mind when it comes to both the cast and the story.

Tom Selleck

Westerns was why I got into the business. I grew up on a small farm in California and all I ever wanted to do was to play gangsters and cowboys in movies.

Brion James

Studios, because they are investing a great deal of money in movies, they want a guarantee that when they hire somebody that person can deliver for them. Everything is fear based, so they pigeonhole people. But I've written everything, from Westerns to sci-fi to dramedy, I've done it all.

Melissa Rosenberg

I guess after Dances With Wolves they probably tried some derivative westerns, and if they didn't work, they said the western is dead and moved on to something else.

Tom Selleck

Your landscape in a western is one of the most important characters the film has. The best westerns are about man against his own landscape.

Ridley Scott

In Westerns you were permitted to kiss your horse but never your girl.

Gary Cooper

You don't just have to see superhero movies. Ultimately, those movies are westerns - superheroes are good guys fighting bad guys in a landscape. In westerns, that divide couldn't be any more clear, but the only superpower you have is that you're a quicker shot than the other guy.

Antoine Fuqua

In most Westerns, you know, people are shooting off guns all the time until you don't even notice it anymore.

George Stevens

Hollywood cools, and when it cools you have to go to where the work is. I ran off to Italy to do spaghetti westerns.

Tab Hunter

I love Westerns!

Barry Corbin

Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories.

Arthur C. Clarke

What made us different from other westerns was the fact that 'Gunsmoke' wasn't just action and a lot of shooting; they were character-study shows.
