Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo:
If you think about Joseph Pappas fascination with the doctor… the only thing we can think of is the connection between Joseph Pappas mother dying over 20 years ago during surgery, we can’t say definitively that that’s the motivation behind this killing, but there’s nothing else that would explain it.

John Wayne:
Don’t ever for a minute make the mistake of looking down your nose at westerns. They’re art — the good ones, I mean. They deal in life and sudden death and primitive struggle, and with the basic emotions — love, hate, and anger — thrown in. We’ll have westerns films as long as the cameras keep turning. The fascination that the Old West has will never die. And as long as people want to pay money to see me act, I’ll keep on making westerns until the day I die.
-
Tilak Fernando:
Focus comes as an effortless connection to your being through pure fascination for this moment.
