More quotes by Clint Eastwood
I think it is more important to tell a story rather than follow any trend that is a less bold way to go. If you do that [follow trends] you are just trying to ride on the coat tails of someone else's success.
Clint Eastwood
An awful lot of good movies have gone unrecognized, and an awful lot of bad movies have had tremendous recognition. As long as you keep that in mind, you are never really disappointed.
Clint Eastwood
All I know is there's thousands of people in the Academy and a lot of them, the majority of them, haven't won Oscars.A lot of people are crying, I guess.
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
There's something about the first time an actor runs the material over his or her face you know when they kind of run it through their eyes and you see the thing and there is little imperfections in it and not every line is delivered perfectly, and it doesn't have that mechanical feeling.
Clint Eastwood
I'd like to be a bigger and more knowledgeable person ten years from now than I am today. I think that for all of us as we grow older, we must discipline ourselves to continue expanding, broadening, learning, keeping our minds active and open.
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
I can't do that to myself...
Clint Eastwood
It's not about you. It's about them.
Clint Eastwood
Instead of calling everybody names, start being more understanding.
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
Are you going to pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?
Clint Eastwood
Nowadays, politically, everybody is promising everything. That's the only way you can get elected.
Clint Eastwood
I think as you get older, you find you can play more things because you're moving to a different category. You play a certain thing as a younger man, playing action roles like I did. Then I moved out, and I kept trying to do different things all the time.
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
Every man has got to know his limitations.
Clint Eastwood
I keep working because I learn something new all the time.
Clint Eastwood
I'm interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.
Clint Eastwood
You have to go with your instincts. I remember when I was about to make Fistful of Dollars a big article came out that said, Italian Westerns are finished. I said, Swell. Then, of course, the film came out, and it did something. I'm so glad for the dozens of times I haven't listened along the way.
Clint Eastwood
What Trump is onto is, he's just saying what's on his mind. And sometimes it's not so good. And sometimes it's... I mean, I can understand where he's coming from, but I don't always agree with it.
Clint Eastwood
