More quotes by Clint Eastwood
You take the work seriously, you don't take yourself seriously. You keep that straight and you'll do well the rest of your life.
Clint Eastwood
I'd say people get to work and start being more understanding of everybody - instead of calling everybody names, start being more understanding. But get in there and get it done. Kick ass and take names. And this may be my dad talking, but don't spend what you don't have.
Clint Eastwood
My father had a couple of kids at the beginning of the Depression. There was not much employment. Not much welfare. People barely got by. People were tougher then.
Clint Eastwood
The main thing is, you just want to have your place in history. You hope that people will look back on it in 15, 20, 30 and beyond years, and say, That was an exciting film.

Clint Eastwood
Do ya' feel lucky, punk?
Clint Eastwood
I believe in my gut. Most people intellectualize their instincts away, but when you feel something, you have to go for it. A Fistful of Dollars was a great instinct for me, because here I was, a guy who's doing Rawhide.
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
As you get older, you're not afraid of doubt. Doubt isn't running the show. You take out all the self-agonizing.
Clint Eastwood
I'm trying to preach the idea that if we don't pay attention to history we're destined to repeat it.
Clint Eastwood
I've always told my son Scott the same thing: Don't rush into anything, because there's gonna be a lot of fish in the sea. You can be one of the people that's lucky enough not to become a loser two and three and four times over like people do, just by being a little more patient.
Clint Eastwood
If you cast a film incorrectly, then you're going to be fighting an uphill battle.
Clint Eastwood
I have great respect for the FBI, and I know that there have been some rumors lately that the FBI was disenchanted because of what we were doing in story, or doing a certain take: that's not true. Actually the FBI was tremendously enthusiastic about us doing [ J. Edgar Hoover ] film.
Clint Eastwood
Abuse of power isn't limited to bad guys in other nations. It happens in our own country if we're not vigilant.
Clint Eastwood
As you get older you try to do things that please you more. You get a little more selfish. You start thinking I want to do things where I enjoy myself.
Clint Eastwood
Well, if you're waitin' for a woman to make up her mind, you may have a a long wait.
