Of course! Horizontal or diagonal installations will work. Just be aware that depending on where the studs are on center, some warping may occur. Depends on environment, quality and thickness of the product, too. I lined the inside of my exterior laundry room with diagonal 1x6 cedar tongue and groove (after insulating w/fiberglass batts). After a couple of years, some small shrinkage and warping, but nothing significant.
Looks awesome!

How do you remove tongue and groove cedar planks from drywall?
To put the planks up horizontally, I would find all of the wall studs and mark them ( maybe with a chalk line). Then, using a 2 1/2" finish nailer, nail the cedar over the sheet rock directly into the studs. I think this would allow for better expansion and contraction. Glue may fail over the years due to fluctuating humidity levels, plus glue would be very time consuming. If you're applying the planks vertically, I would use 1/2" matarial running horizontally nailed to each stud for the length of the wall. Put up at least three courses (top, middle and bottom), then nail the vertical cedar planks to the 1/2" material.
