More quotes by Clint Eastwood
I would like to be interpreted as a liberal libertarian, like leave everybody alone and let them do their own thing.
Clint Eastwood
Having the security of being in a series week in, week out gives you great flexibility you can experience with yourself, try a different scene different ways. If you make a mistake one week, you can look at it and say, 'Well, I won't do that again,' and you're still on the air next week.

Clint Eastwood
I always like to try different things, different genres stories that have a dramatic element and can generate conflict which I find appealing where the characters have to overcome obstacles. That kind of thing is challenging.
Clint Eastwood

The story [for the western genre] is everything. Whether it's a book or a screenplay, the story drives everything. And if you just go out and try to make one by putting on boots and jumping on a horse and riding off... If you don't have the material, the characters and the things to overcome and conflicts that give life to drama, you don't have it.
Clint Eastwood
Whether you like it or not, you're forced to come to the realisation that death is out there. But I don't fear death, I'm a fatalist. I believe when it's your time, that's it. It's the hand you're dealt.
Clint Eastwood
Always keep your ego in check and not be afraid to listen. Listening is a great art form.
Clint Eastwood
There's a rebel lying deep in my soul. Anytime anybody tells me the trend is such and such, I go the opposite direction. I hate the idea of trends. I hate imitation I have a reverence for individuality.
Clint Eastwood
There are two kinds of actors -- one sits in a dressing room waiting for his call and the other gets out into the business and polishes his craft by absorbing everything. I don't know enough, I'll never learn everything I need to learn. When a guy thinks he's already learned it, he can only go backwards.
Clint Eastwood
Everybody thinks making films back to back is a big deal but they did it all the time in the old days.
Clint Eastwood
Actors know what actors are insecure about - and they're all insecure.
Clint Eastwood
The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits.
Clint Eastwood
If you feel like you've got something to offer you should do it while the iron's hot.
Clint Eastwood
It's what people know about themselves inside that makes them afraid.
Clint Eastwood
I don't wanna need you because I can't have you.
Clint Eastwood
In America, instead of making the audience come to the film, the idea seems to be for you to go to the audience. They come up with the demographics for the film and then the film is made and sold strictly to that audience.
