- "Old Prospector" style
- Roles in westerns
- In real life he was the exact opposite of the characters he played on film. He was well read, well-groomed, serious and highly philosophical.
- The character of Gabby Johnson in Der wilde wilde Westen (1974) is a tribute to Hayes.
- Western sidekicks Hayes and Smiley Burnette were so popular with audiences that they consistently placed in "top 10" box-office cowboy star polls alongside Gene Autry and Roy Rogers..
- Though a long-time western star, he didn't learn to ride a horse until he was 50 years old.
- Whenever he made a solo personal appearance as his "Gabby" character, he would attract crowds as large as stars such as Gene Autry or Roy Rogers.
- [on John Wayne] He's my boy. He's the best. Couldn't think more of him if he was my own son.
- [on westerns] I hate 'em. Really can't stand 'em. They always are the same. You have so few plots--the stagecoach holdup, the rustlers, the mortgage gag, the mine setting and the retired gunslinger.
