More quotes by Clint Eastwood
It's not about you. It's about them.
Clint Eastwood
If anybody asks me what I attribute the longevity of my career to, then I say it's because I was never satisfied with being a cowboy in the plains of Spain and later I was never satisfied with just playing a detective in San Francisco, and constantly just pushing the envelope.
Clint Eastwood
There are so many parallels in society today [with era of J. Edgar Hoover ] that you can use, whether it's the head of a studio or the head of an organization, a major newspaper, a major factory or company, of people who stay too long, maybe, and overstay their usefulness.
Clint Eastwood
When I see a story, I ask: is this something I'd like to be in? Is this something I'd like to see? And if I'd like to see it, would I like to tell it?
Clint Eastwood
We don't even know who's in the Academy.
Clint Eastwood
The country has come a long way in race relations, but the pendulum swings so far back. Everyone wants to be so sensitive.
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.

Clint Eastwood
Tomorrow is promised to no one.
Clint Eastwood
Libertarian: everyone leaves everyone else alone
Clint Eastwood
Whether you like it or not, you're forced to come to the realisation that death is out there. But I don't fear death, I'm a fatalist. I believe when it's your time, that's it. It's the hand you're dealt.
Clint Eastwood
The reason I still work at this stage of life is because I enjoy learning something new each day.
Clint Eastwood
Everybody thinks making films back to back is a big deal but they did it all the time in the old days.
Clint Eastwood
The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits.
Clint Eastwood
It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people's lives.
Clint Eastwood
I like to direct the same way that I like to be directed.
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 always thought what an interesting idea because almost everybody's fascinated by the perpetrator of a crime very few people study what happens to people for the rest of their lives, and how it affects not only that particular character but other characters around him as well.
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
I don't believe in pessimism. If something doesn't come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it's going to rain, it will.
Clint Eastwood
I was drafted during the Korean War.
