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.
I hope maybe one day I can be like Wayne Rooney. Maybe then some young players will be proud to play against me. That would be amazing.
I remember the European Championships in 2004. Wayne Rooney was a special player in that tournament, and I definitely cried when we got knocked out then.

I am excited to bring elements of my lifestyle to the masses with the Rich Gang, and with Lil Wayne to be able to share the feel of our labels with the YMCMB Apparel brand.
I never have really become accustomed to the ‘John.’ Nobody ever really calls me John… I’ve always been Duke or Marion or John Wayne. It’s a name that goes well together, and it’s like one word – John Wayne.
You know how kids have a meltdown? They’re overtired or overstimulated? Every once in a while, Wayne, as Mickey, would say, ‘Aw, what’s the matter, little fella?’ And the kid would stop crying, his eyes would get big, and he’d look around, and the parents would say, ‘What just happened?’

The worst was practicing a stunt for John Wayne in ‘McQ.’ I lost two teeth, broke six ribs, cracked a vertebra and punctured a lung. I spent 12 days in the hospital.
When I was still back in Cameroon, because I didn’t know English, I used to listen to French rap all the time and then a little bit of American hip-hop. And then, when I got to the States, that’s when I really got into all those guys – Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, all those guys.

In my years at United, I witnessed some signings who, over their careers, transformed the fortunes of the team. From Eric Cantona, when I was an apprentice, to Dwight Yorke, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Wayne Rooney. These were great footballers who became great United players.
I don’t think Wayne Rooney would be affected if you booed him, that’s just how he is, but others go under. They really suffer with it. I think I’m somewhere in the middle… now. I’ve become tougher as I’ve got older.

Wayne Messam does not have any financial problems and is a classic American Success Story.
You can’t please everyone, and trying to is the kiss of death. I don’t care about Wayne Newton’s demographics. When I do, I’ll know that it’s time to quit.
I think the ‘sunken place’ – that term is what I hear when I’m just casually living my life. People say it around me. Not because they’re around me; they’re saying it because it articulated a state of mind. Lil Wayne’s rapped about it.
Manchester United isn’t about Wayne Rooney. Manchester United is about the team, the club.
When you think of hockey, when you think of Canada, you think of Wayne Gretzky.

I collaborated with Lil Wayne, Bad Bunny, Tego Calderon, he’s a big legend in the Spanish industry.
Wayne McGregor’s ‘Dyad 1929’ is a good example of this capable British choreographer’s work.
Everybody know, I don’t do no promoting. I don’t ever have to promote nothing, that’s the beauty of Lil Wayne.
I’m kind of living a Bruce Wayne life and then morphing into Batman, but I’m glad now Batman comes out during the day. That’s kind of like how drag was: we were called upon at night to make people smile and laugh and clap.
I didn’t have a resume when Lil Wayne hired me. I didn’t have a resume when Beats by Dre flew me across the country to be their 12th employee. I still don’t have a resume!
John loved celebrity. We attended an American Film Institute dinner honoring James Cagney, and the room was filled with famous actors like Mae West, Kirk Douglas, John Wayne and Steve McQueen. John was like a kid in a candy store.
I want to be a winner. But you can see Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Wayne Gretzky – that kind of people – where you can see and say yeah, this is players who win everything. I want to be in this page, too.
With Fountains Of Wayne, I almost always start with lyrics – maybe not the entire lyric, but I almost always need a couplet or something, and then I work from there. With Ivy, it’s much more about the atmosphere and the vibe.
One-eyed Reuben ‘Rooster’ Cogburn is the role that finally delivered John Wayne his Oscar.
My parents were Democrats, and I was a Democrat. And John Wayne was a Republican.
The kids all knew me from Wayne’s World. The grown-ups knew me after True Lies.
My dad and uncles listened to a lot of rap. My dad is a big fan of LL Cool J. Driving in the car with him, we’d listen to Jay-Z and Nas. My sister listened to a lot of No Limit, so I listened to Master P. and Cash Money – Lil Wayne and Juvenile. They had jewelry and nice cars. I was drawn to them.
A lot of rappers are stars, but people like Drake and Lil Wayne, those are superstars.
My first ‘SNL’ episode was with Michael Phelps and Lil Wayne. And if you go back and watch the monologue – it was supposed to feature Barack Obama, but we couldn’t get him – it was with William Shatner. But if you watch it, Guy Fieri is sitting in the front row.
When I watch sport I like to see the likes of Wayne Rooney when they show a bit of passion. It shows they really care when they’re playing for their club and their country.

I like Akon, I like some of Lil Wayne when he uses that funky voice. Anything progressive.
One of the greatest experiences I ever had was listening to a conversation with Joni Mitchell and Wayne Shorter. Just to hear them talking, my mouth was open. They understand each other perfectly, and they make these leaps and jumps because they don’t have to explain anything.
I watched John Wayne movies, matinees – things like that. It was only in college that I saw European films. That became more of what I was interested in.
The treatment of Wayne Rooney told me something about the way England fans view the national team.
My dad started taking me to Winnipeg games when I was 3 or 4. As a kid, I loved Wayne Gretzky, and I remember the first game I got to see him play against the Jets. The Kings beat the Jets, and I was happy that they did. Gretzky left the game after the first period, and I was upset about that.
See, heroes never die. John Wayne isn’t dead, Elvis isn’t dead. Otherwise you don’t have a hero. You can’t kill a hero. That’s why I never let him get older.

I don’t believe in that kind of American John Wayne individualism where people pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Someone changed your diapers. And if that’s the case, you ain’t self-made.
I would love to play alongside Wayne Rooney. He does the running of two or three players and makes a lot of space. We would be the perfect combination.
I’d gone very quickly from playing in a park with my mates to sitting next to Wayne Rooney at dinner. It was a bit weird.
There is a large body of abolitionists in Clinton and Clark Counties in this state, and in Wayne County Indiana, that would undoubtedly support such a store, but whether their support would be sufficient, I am unable to say.
