“I wouldn't make an anti-American film. I'm one of the most pro-American foreigners I know. I love America and Americans.”

“'High Noon' was the most un-American thing I have ever seen in my whole life. The last thing in the picture is old Coop putting the United States marshal’s badge under his foot and stepping on it. I’ll never regret having run out of this country.”
John Wayne

“I do always feel very proud and flattered by being asked to be a part of American productions playing American characters.”
Toby Jones

“There's difference between, I think, American movies and European movies, because there are a lot of European countries that get support from the state; the movies are more artistic, they are more based on dialogue, and they are more based on telling a good story.”
Sven-Ole Thorsen

“I wanted to make Canadian films, and I ended up making American films.”
Ted Kotcheff
