It has to do with the fact that Ford, for all his greatness, is an Irish egomaniac, as anyone who knows him will say.
Henry Fonda

Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't fart and chew gum at the same time.
Lyndon B. Johnson

John Ford was so funny that I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning.
Richard Widmark

Men, when they fight in movies, it's a very different style. Harrison Ford was so cool when he had the whip, and Bruce Lee was such an artist that you couldn't take your eyes off of him.
Lucy Liu

Most of the people that I went to school with - I went to secondary school - we were educated to go and work in the line at Ford's, and if we were lucky, technical skilled labor. I sort of rejected that, and thought I wanted to do something else.
Billy Bragg

Movies I liked growing up were like Francis Ford Coppolla movies and Scorsese movies.
Owen Wilson

One of the things I really like about Ford's films is how there is always a focus on the way characters live, and not just the male heroes.
Ken Burns

President Ford was a devoted, decent man of impeccable integrity who put service to his country before his own self interest. He helped heal our nation during a time of crisis, provided steady leadership and restored people's faith in the presidency and in government.
Mark Udall

Ryan took him out of Betty Ford after Redmond wanted to leave because he met a girl there. The girl was a heroin addict. She was the one who introduced him to the stuff.
Farrah Fawcett

The difference was you worked for Nixon, and with Ford.
Earl Butz

The fact was, Ford kept stumbling around. I didn't want him in the White House. I wanted Carter in, and I had a forum of 20 million people watching.
Chevy Chase

The John Ford pictures I made are highly regarded, but at the time they didn't seem like that.
Gloria Stuart

The man does not beat your head because you got a Cadillac or because you got a Ford; he beats you because you're black!
H. Rap Brown

The more film I watch, the more John Ford looks like a giant. His politics aren't so good, and you have to learn to accept John Wayne as an actor, but he's a poet in black and white.
Jonathan Lethem

The President has not created any Ford constituency, unique from that of any Republican President. The one exception to this is that he does show unique strength with young voters for a Republican.
Robert Teeter

The standard rumor at the time was that Rumsfeld, as chief of staff, had persuaded President Ford to appoint George H.W. Bush as director of Central Intelligence, assuming that that got rid of a potential competitor for the presidency.
Bobby R. Inman

There are no crown princes at Ford.
Edsel Ford

There needs to be a planned series of speeches, interviews, etc., over the next two or three months by administration officials and other public figures talking about President Ford, what he is trying to do and what he has accomplished.
Robert Teeter

This person should not be directly connected with the President Ford Committee nor should he be seen as a member of the liberal wing of the Republican Party. He should be someone like Laird or Rogers Morton.
Robert Teeter

Well, as you know, General Motors does not make hybrids. Ford only made 4,000 hybrids last year.
Ed Markey
