Clint Eastwood

I keep working because I learn something new all the time.

I'm not afraid to look bad on the screen.

Whether you like it or not, you're forced to come to the realisation that death is out there. But I don't fear death, I'm a fatalist. I believe when it's your time, that's it. It's the hand you're dealt.

Man becomes his most creative during war.

Our modern society - especially in the West, and especially now - reveres youth.

I knew Billy Wilder socially and would have loved to work with him.

I don't think I've met anyone with a stronger work ethic than Ray Charles.

I still work out on a daily basis.

I liked Vittorio De Sica a lot, and I got to work with him once in a segment movie. He was a great director. He was a very charismatic character and a guy I watched a lot when he was directing.

When I was born, the economy wasn't in a great state; it was the Depression, and my father had to be quick to try and find work.

A lot of dumb pictures have made a lot of money, but that doesn't mean they're going to be anything cinema students will revel over in the future.

In past generations, people would try to play younger than they really are. My trick is, I don't try to play younger than I really am.
