— What do you think of cinema today?
John Ford: I don't go anymore. I don't see why humanity likes that which stresses stupidity and lowliness. Sex, obscenity, violence, ugliness, decadence and degeneration don't interest me. Excesses disgust me. What I like is effort, the will to go beyond oneself. For me, life is to be oneself in the face of friends who you punch in the nose, and then you drink and sing together. It is the attraction to real women, and not the Miss Bovarys. It's the fresh air, the great outdoors, the great hopes.

Mas Ford escolhe sempre os actores, a integridade física (logo, moral) das pessoas.
