"Everybody accuses me of moving fast when..." - Quote by Clint Eastwood

“I would like to be interpreted as a liberal libertarian, like leave everybody alone and let them do their own thing.”

“Nobody looks like they did when they were 20, so why not take advantage of the fact that you're changing, emotionally as well as physically?”

“If I'd had good discipline, I might have gone into music.”

“The race for Quality has no finish line - so technically, it's more like a death march. Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.”

“I need the information and then I can go. So, as long as I have the information and a little bit of sleep, I can do the rest.”

“The good husband finds method as efficient in the packing of fire-wood in a shed, or in the harvesting of fruits in the cellar, as in Peninsular campaigns or the files of the Department of State.”

“Actors know, with me they aren't going to be allowed to rehearse a scene for a couple of hours and then get away with doing 25 takes before we get it right. So they come with their full bag of tricks.”

“I like to direct the same way that I like to be directed.”

“After directing the first film it feels kind of tricky being back to being in front of the camera, because I've always got one eye over there, kind of thinking of what they are doing, and how the shot is being composed. I think it takes a couple of films to just get back to just being an actor.”
