More quotes by Clint Eastwood
If you approach a film with the feeling that you are going to have some impact on society then you're liable to get carried away with yourself. Alfred Hitchcock once told me, when I was analyzing a lot of things about his pictures, Clint, you must remember, it's only a movie.
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're as young as you feel. As young as you want to be. There's an old saying I heard from a friend of mine. People ask him, Why do you look so good at your age? He'll say, Because I never let the old man in. And there's truth to that. It's in your mind, how far you let him come in.
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
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
Every story has its demands.
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
I'm more focused on making a scene seem real as opposed to perfect.
Clint Eastwood
Hollywood seems to succumb to fads. Well, action films do well. Give me violence. Give me a scene where there's a couple of car chases or shooting and stuff like that. They're forgetting the fact that there's a basic structure to a story that is essential to making it really broad and appealing.
Clint Eastwood
You have to steal a lot. You have to have a criminal mentality to be a film director.
Clint Eastwood
You have to trust your instincts. There is a moment when an actor has it, and he knows it.
Clint Eastwood
If you cast a film incorrectly, then you're going to be fighting an uphill battle.
Clint Eastwood
You definitely do not do films for that particular reason. You do them for yourself, for your satisfaction of creating this thing with characters and watching these characters take on real life - that's all you care about.
Clint Eastwood
I'm just a kid. I've got a lot of stuff to do yet.
Clint Eastwood
I can't do that to myself...
Clint Eastwood
If you feel like you've got something to offer you should do it while the iron's hot.
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
Winning the election is a good-news, bad-news kind of thing. Okay, now you're the mayor. The bad news is, now you're the mayor.
Clint Eastwood
Acting gets into your blood, after so many years, and I just always like revisiting it. It's fun to meet new people and watch them coming along, at different stages of their careers.
Clint Eastwood
When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.
