My father had a couple of kids at the beginning of the Depression. There was not much employment. Not much welfare. People barely got by. People were tougher then.

More quotes by Clint Eastwood
Instead of calling everybody names, start being more understanding.
Clint Eastwood
There's nothing like a nice piece of hickory.
Clint Eastwood
It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people's lives.
Clint Eastwood
It's always fun to talk about jazz.
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
Over my career I played some badass characters. So, people sometimes think I should have a .44 magnum. But that's not true, I don't have that. But I do fire them and I do enjoy target shooting and all that sort of thing. I'm not much of a hunter. I don't like killing animals, but I love to shoot.
Clint Eastwood
There's a rebel lying deep in my soul. Anytime anybody tells me the trend is such and such, I go the opposite direction. I hate the idea of trends. I hate imitation I have a reverence for individuality.
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
If I'd had good discipline, I might have gone into music.
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
As you get older you try to do things that please you more. You get a little more selfish. You start thinking I want to do things where I enjoy myself.
Clint Eastwood
I don't watch a lot of films. I'm usually involved in making them.
Clint Eastwood
If you cast a film incorrectly, then you're going to be fighting an uphill battle.
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
A lot of people when they retire, they just expire. It happens to men more than women. Women usually have great interest in the family, because the family's always growing and they're always coming to the rescue.
Clint Eastwood
A lot of people are bored of all the political correctness.
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 guess a great movie would be one that has the most great moments in it.
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
Let's not go and ruin it by thinking too much.
Clint Eastwood
