More quotes by Clint Eastwood
Everybody always feels that they're right even if they're wrong and that's what a whole actor's career is built around rationalizing your way into whatever character you're playing.
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
Plagiarism is always the biggest thing in Hollywood.
Clint Eastwood
If you're afraid to take risks in anything in life, it's just boredom.
Clint Eastwood
That's one of the actor's secrets: With everything you do, learn something new about yourself.
Clint Eastwood
You have to trust your instincts. There is a moment when an actor has it, and he knows it.
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
Do ya' feel lucky, punk?
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
Nobody wants to make something that displeases people, but once you make a film, that's out of your control and you can't think about that. You just have to follow your head and make sure that you're satisfied by putting down what you intended.
Clint Eastwood
You get to a certain age and you're just glad to be there. I don't know what to add to that. It's fun. You have to be a realist, so you try to look for roles that are within the age you are.
Clint Eastwood
The interesting thing with child actors is that kids are natural actors. They're wonderful actors, and most kids are acting all the time. They're imagining they're out in the yard playing. They're imagining that things happened, and they can get very vivid.
Clint Eastwood
When you're an actor, you're so busy: people are always coming up to you and pulling your collar, making sure that things fit, brushing your hair and you're always being yanked up, so finally when you're behind a camera, you're just a slob.
Clint Eastwood
You have to steal a lot. You have to have a criminal mentality to be a film director.
Clint Eastwood
Great stories teach you something. That's one reason I haven't slipped into some sort of retirement: I always feel like I'm learning something new.
Clint Eastwood
You can't stop everything from happening. But we've gotten to a point where we're certainly trying. If a car doesn't have four hundred air bags in it, then it's no good.
Clint Eastwood
I do believe in self-help.
Clint Eastwood
Scott Eastwood always came in and did a good job. And he's now graduated to better roles, and the chicks are all calling and asking where Scott is. They used to ask where I was. Now they're going, What about Scott?
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.
Clint Eastwood
Always keep your ego in check and not be afraid to listen. Listening is a great art form.
Clint Eastwood
