"My old drama coach used to say,..." - Quote by Clint Eastwood

“You change as the years go by. The more knowledge you get, the more things change in your life and circumstances change.”

“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.”

“Historically, actors have been made very famous for roles that were something that was far - - Richard Widmark comes to mind (playing Tommy Udo in "Kiss of Death") or something like that, where you do some famous role and everybody imitates you for the rest of your life. But obviously it's much more fun to play something you're not than it is to play something you are.”

“Sometimes with a comedy it's just having the instinct of how real you play it and what level you want it.”

“When I was five, I think, that's when I started wanting to be an actress. I loved to play. I didn't like the world around me because it was kind of grim, but I loved to play house. It was like you could make your own boundaries.”

“Sometimes you do know, in 'Commando' when I said 'I lied', I knew that it was going to be a funny line. I've never had a bad line.”

“When you are everywhere, you are nowhere. When you are somewhere, you are everywhere.”

“One looks, looks long, and the world comes in.”

“To experience anything fully and see it clearly there must be a moment of presence where conceptual thinking is not interfering with your experience of that moment.”
