More quotes by Clint Eastwood
The more time you have to think things through, the more you have to screw it up.
Clint Eastwood
I think great movies have to have some great moments in them to bring them up to that level.
Clint Eastwood
The best part of aging in this business is losing that obsession about work and being able to spend a little more time with family.
Clint Eastwood
I am not a regret type person. I don't believe in regrets. Lots of things you would do differently if you'd do it again, but you don't do it again, so you don't think about it. But that goes for life in general. You're only dealing with the knowledge you have at that time.
Clint Eastwood
I just think it is important that you realize, that you're the best in the world. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican or whether you're libertarian or whatever, you are the best. And we should not ever forget that. And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go.
Clint Eastwood
It's what people know about themselves inside that makes them afraid.
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
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
All I know is there's thousands of people in the Academy and a lot of them, the majority of them, haven't won Oscars.A lot of people are crying, I guess.
Clint Eastwood
As you get older, you change certain things.
Clint Eastwood
[FBI] philosophy is Go ahead and make the story you want to make, and hopefully we'll love it. So that's that.
Clint Eastwood
Every story has its demands.
Clint Eastwood
I've done a few special effects movies in my life, so I've gotten that out of my system.
Clint Eastwood
When you're young, you're very reckless. Then you get conservative. Then you get reckless again.
Clint Eastwood
I've taken advantage of a few breaks that came along and moved along with them.
Clint Eastwood
Just trust your instincts. There's an old saying in golf, you've studied the swing many times, and you practice and practice, but when you stand over the ball, you just have to trust your swing. And you trust it. And if you don't trust it, you'll ruin it your brain will take over.
Clint Eastwood
There's nothing like a nice piece of hickory.
Clint Eastwood
The cruelty of nature is you have to work out harder when you get older ... It should be the other way around: Work out hard when you're a kid you should be able to coast when you get older. But unfortunately you have to do more to stay in the same position.
Clint Eastwood
I don't have any great pickup lines. I was never an extrovert, so I always had to have someone meet me halfway. If she was interested, we'd come together, and if not ... When I became a movie actor and became well-known, it took care of itself. Maybe that's why I became an actor.
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
