Nobody, I mean nobody, puts ketchup on a hot dog.
Clint Eastwood
I'm past doing one chin-up more than I did the day before. I just kind of do what I feel like.
Clint Eastwood
It's what people know about themselves inside that makes them afraid.
Clint Eastwood
You can't stop everything from happening. But we've gotten to a point where we're certainly trying. If a car doesn't have four hundred air bags in it, then it's no good.
Clint Eastwood
For a man, once you've sired your pups, you're done.
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
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
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
Always keep your ego in check and not be afraid to listen. Listening is a great art form.
Clint Eastwood
You have to feel confident. If you don't, then you're going to be hesitant and defensive, and there'll be a lot of things working against you.
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
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
A lot of people are bored of all the political correctness.
Clint Eastwood
I do believe in self-help.
Clint Eastwood
Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.
Clint Eastwood
I think as you get older, you find you can play more things because you're moving to a different category. You play a certain thing as a younger man, playing action roles like I did. Then I moved out, and I kept trying to do different things all the time.
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'm just a kid. I've got a lot of stuff to do yet.
Clint Eastwood
Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.
Clint Eastwood
You get to a certain age and you're just glad to be there. I don't know what to add to that. It's fun. You have to be a realist, so you try to look for roles that are within the age you are.
