He [Bruce Wayne] is Batman. He became Batman the instant his parents were murdered. Batman needs Bruce, however hollow that identity feels to him from time to time. Bruce keeps Batman human. On Michael Keaton -

[on Burt Lancaster] John Wayne was a great star. But he always played Wayne. Anything else he didn`t regard as manly. Now someone like Burt Lancaster is just the opposite. The living proof that you can be a sensitive actor and macho at the same time.

John Wayne had four inch lifts in his shoes. He had the overheads on his boat accommodated to fit him. He had a special roof put in his station wagon. The son of a bitch, they probably buried him in his goddamn lifts.

[On his separation from third wife Pilar Wayne in 1973] We have separated, and it`s a sad incident in my life. It is family and personal. I`d rather keep it that way.

I recall playing practical jokes with John Wayne. I once got a whole bunch of keys and had little tags made that said, "If lost, please return to John Wayne, RKO Studios. Reward." And I just dropped them all over town. [He got a lot of] phone calls, peopl...

That`s why those fellas were so magnificent playing the same part, because they`d played it forty times. That`s why John Wayne finally became a good actor in True Grit (1969) - he`s got 150 of them behind him. Now he`s developed a saltiness and an earthin...

[on John Wayne] John Wayne was a star because he always played John Wayne. Frankly, he wasn`t an excellent actor, but good heavens, what a star! It wasn`t John Wayne who served the roles; the roles served John Wayne.

When I started, I knew I was no actor and I went to work on this Wayne thing. It was as deliberate a projection as you`ll ever see. I figured I needed a gimmick, so I dreamed up the drawl, the squint and a way of moving meant to suggest that I wasn`t look...

[On what she learned from filming her first movie] Well, Wayne Wang, the director, really helped me become a more mature actress. When I first started filming, I was really over the top. He just helped bring me down and make me real. That was really wonde...

I always enjoyed watching John Wayne, but it never occurred to me until I spoke with Indians how corrosive and damaging and destructive his movies were - most Hollywood movies were.
Marlon Brando
[on John Wayne] I gave him a piece of material that I thought had potential for us to do as a younger guy and an older guy. He wrote me back critical of it. He had seen High Plains Drifter (1973), and he didn`t think that represented Americana like She Wo...

I believed in the John Wayne image of America. My father was a Republican, and he taught me that it was a good war because the Communists were the bad guys and we had to fight them. And then there was the romanticism of the Second World War as it appeared...

No man`s lifetime of work has better expressed the land of the free and the home of the brave. No man`s lifetime of work has given proof to the world that our flag is still there. John Wayne is in truth a star-spangled man whom so proudly we hail.

People fantasize about being a hero and helping someone in trouble. Batman is that fantasy realized--not just for Bruce Wayne, but for the audience. Inwardly, Bruce Wayne is still an adolescent watching his parents being murdered. That will never leave hi...

[on John Wayne] His image had as much impact in the world as many of our presidents have had, but Duke was a great actor, a great humanitarian, but always himself. To be a friend was a lifetime thing.

Sometimes kids ask me what a pro is. I just point to the Duke [John Wayne]
