More quotes by Clint Eastwood
At some point in your fife, your tolerance level goes down and you realize that, with someone much younger, there's nothing really to talk about. And I think we're at a point now where a lot of older women take better care of themselves, compared to the 1940s and '50s when women were programmed to figure it's all over after 30.
Clint Eastwood
I don't really get into a big intellectual analysis of why I am going to do a certain script or not.
Clint Eastwood
I'm a movie maker, but I have the same feelings as the average guy out there.
Clint Eastwood
The more time you have to think things through, the more you have to screw it up.
Clint Eastwood
There's only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I'll get married again.
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
There's really no way to teach you how to act, but there is a way to teach you how to teach yourself to act. That's kind of what it is once you learn the little tricks that work for you, pretty soon you find yourself doing that.
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
For a man, once you've sired your pups, you're done.
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
I'd have to go for Donald Trump ... you know, 'cause Hillary Clinton is declared that she's gonna follow in Barack Obama's footsteps. There's been just too much funny business on both sides of the aisle. She's made a lot of dough out of being a politician.
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
Every story has its demands.
Clint Eastwood
With people in high office, the old - you go into the extreme, which is absolute power and absolute power corrupts.
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
There's a rebel lying deep in my soul.
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
When I was young there was no respect for the young, and now that I am old there is no respect for the old
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
If the director's a communist, whatever, he's a communist. All I care is that he directs. For the actor, the same thing. All you really care is that he comes in and performs.
Clint Eastwood
