My mother knew how to read music and everything. But I just kinda learned off of records. And so, I was listening to records and I'd play 'em over and over.

More quotes by Clint Eastwood
Aging can be fun if you lay back and enjoy it.
Clint Eastwood
I guess a great movie would be one that has the most great moments in it.
Clint Eastwood
I was kind of a little disappointed when they started building a competition between Marty (Martin Scorsese) and me. I have the greatest respect for him and all the films he's done over the years.
Clint Eastwood
Once you finish a film, it doesn't belong to you anymore - it belongs to the audience to interpret it the way they feel like interpreting.
Clint Eastwood
Twenty-some states in the United States have statutes that say showing the nipples to children is oscene. That's the first thing we come into contact with when we arrive on this palnet: a woman's breasts!
Clint Eastwood
You have to trust your instincts. There is a moment when an actor has it, and he knows it.
Clint Eastwood
Do ya' feel lucky, punk?
Clint Eastwood
First, I blow a hole in your face then I go back inside, and sleep like a baby... I guarantee you.
Clint Eastwood
They say marriages are made in Heaven. But so is thunder and lightning.
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 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'm a firm believer in research, but I'm also a firm believer in utilizing the instincts that are within your soul or in your body or in your stomach, wherever they reside.
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
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 just kind of had my own impressions growing up with Hoover as a heroic figure in the 40s - actually the 30s, 40s, and 50s and beyond - but this was all prior to the information age so we didn't know about Hoover except what was usually in the papers, and this was fun, because this was a chance to go into it [ during filming 'J. Edgar Hoover' ]
Clint Eastwood
Instead of calling everybody names, start being more understanding.
Clint Eastwood
[ J. Edgar]Hoover, I'm sure, felt that he was right in everything he did and even the things that we don't like about his character.
Clint Eastwood
Kids piercing themselves, piercing their tongues, what kind of masochism is that? Is it to show you can just take it?
Clint Eastwood
There was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if I wanted to sit down. When I saw the stool sitting there, it gave me the idea. I'll just put the stool out there and I'll talk to Mr Obama and ask him why he didn't keep all of the promises he made to everybody.
Clint Eastwood
With people in high office, the old - you go into the extreme, which is absolute power and absolute power corrupts.
Clint Eastwood
