Clint Eastwood Quotes [Part 1]


"A lot of people are bored of all the political correctness."

A lot of people are realizing they had the wool pulled over their eyes by Obama.

“A Love like this happens but once in a lifetime” 

A man’s got to know his limitations.

"Actors know what actors are insecure about 
and they're all insecure."

Again, after you've gone through all the various processes 
and the film comes out and is very successful, 
you're almost afraid to revisit it. 
You want to save it for a rainy day.

"Aging can be fun if you lay back and enjoy it."

"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."

And I like to direct the same way that I like to be directed.

Any man don't wanna get killed better clear on out the back.

“Are you going to pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?” 

As for me, I like being behind the camera 
instead of in front of it. 
I can wear what I want. 
Will I act again? 
I never say never. 
I like doing things where I can stretch 
and go in different directions. 
I'm not looking to take it easy. 
Like the Marines on Iwo Jima, 
I understand that if you really want something, 
you have to be ready to fight.

"As you get older, 
you're not afraid of doubt. 
Doubt isn't running the show. 
You take out all the self-agonizing."

At the studios, 
everybody's into sequels 
or remakes or adaptations of old TV shows. 
I don't know if it's because of the corporate environment 
or they're just out of ideas. 
Pretty soon, they're going to be wanting to do one of "Rawhide".

At this particular time in my life, 
I'm not doing anything as a moneymaker. 
It's like I'm pushing the envelope the other way 
to see how far we can go to be noncommercial. 
But I'm definitely not going for the demographics of 13- to 15-year-olds. 
I didn't know if "Mystic River" would go over at all. 
I had a hard time getting it financed, 
to tell you the truth. 
But I just told Warners the same thing I did with "Million Dollar Baby": 
"I don't know if this is going to make any money. 
But, I think I can make a picture that you'd be proud to have in your library.

Bout time this town had a new sheriff.

"Clock's ticking, Bob. And I'm only getting older."

Crimes against children are the most heinous crime. 
That, for me, would be a reason for capital punishment 
because children are innocent and need the guidance of an adult society.

“Do ya' feel lucky, punk?” 

"Don’t just do something, stand there."

Even people on the liberal side are starting to worry about going off a fiscal cliff.

Ever notice how you come across 
somebody once in a while 
you shouldn't have messed with? That's me.

Every movie I make teaches me something, 
and that's why I keep making them. 
I'm at that stage of life when I could 
probably stop and just hit golf balls. 
But in filming these two movies about Iwo Jima, 
I learnt about war and about character. 
I also learnt a lot about myself.

"Everybody accuses me of moving fast when I direct a picture. 
I don't move fast, but I just keep moving."

"Everybody is idealistic when you're a kid."
