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
Casting a film is to me one of the most important things next to the writing. If you cast it properly everything takes place very easily. If you cast it improperly you're fighting an uphill battle.
Clint Eastwood
The reason I still work at this stage of life is because I enjoy learning something new each day.
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
There's nothing like a nice piece of hickory.
Clint Eastwood
The interesting thing with child actors is that kids are natural actors. They're wonderful actors, and most kids are acting all the time. They're imagining they're out in the yard playing. They're imagining that things happened, and they can get very vivid.
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
Always keep your ego in check and not be afraid to listen. Listening is a great art form.
Clint Eastwood
I've taken advantage of a few breaks that came along and moved along with them.
Clint Eastwood
I can't do that to myself...
Clint Eastwood
In America, instead of making the audience come to the film, the idea seems to be for you to go to the audience. They come up with the demographics for the film and then the film is made and sold strictly to that audience.
Clint Eastwood
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.
Clint Eastwood
I guess any movie actor can become a role model for audiences out there who enjoy him.
Clint Eastwood
Don Siegel last advice to me was 'Don't short yourself.' He said the tendency is when an actor's directing is to kind of you want to work on everybody else but you're going to short yourself. He said, take the time to do a good job with yourself so that you're satisfied with it.
Clint Eastwood
I'm just naturally gravitating towards different things. As you mature, different subject matters. And as you're older, you can't play as many parts, or you shouldn't be playing the parts that you used to play. But also there's the opportunity to play parts that you couldn't have.
Clint Eastwood
Things always look different from higher up.
Clint Eastwood
It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
Clint Eastwood
Do ya' feel lucky, punk?
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
I believe in my gut. Most people intellectualize their instincts away, but when you feel something, you have to go for it. A Fistful of Dollars was a great instinct for me, because here I was, a guy who's doing Rawhide.
