"Every movie I make teaches me something...." - Quote by Clint Eastwood

“Buzzards got to eat, same as the worms.”

“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.”

“This film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.”

“Each year has been so robust with problems and successes and learning experiences and human experienes that a year is a lifetime at Apple. So this has been ten lifetimes.”

“Believe in everything you do. Believe in your mistakes and grow from them.”

“It's a mistake not to give people a chance to learn to depend on themselves while they are young.”

“I'm more focused on making a scene seem real as opposed to perfect.”

“I like a drama. And I think that's the basis of good films, or good plays, is to have a nice drama.”

“I like the inspiration of the first take.”
