"What you put into life is what..." - Quote by Clint Eastwood

“After directing awhile, you get an instinct about it, but you have to be able to trust your own feelings. Invariably, two-thirds of the way through a film, you say, "Jeezus, is this a pile of crap! What did I ever see in it in the first place?" You have to shut off your brain and forge ahead, because by that time you're getting so brainwashed. Once I commit myself to a film I commit myself to that ending, whatever the motivations and conclusions are.”

“It must be the Brit in me, because I like animals.”

“When I was young there was no respect for the young, and now that I am old there is no respect for the old”

“Sometimes, not getting what you want can be the most valuable experience of your entire life.”

“If The Beatles or the 60's had a message, it was 'Learn to swim. And once you've learned - swim!”

“To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again.”

“Books are to be called for and supplied on the assumption that the process of reading is not a half-sleep, but in the highest sense an exercise, a gymnastic struggle; that the reader is to do something for himself.”

“When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they're not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can 'cause I know I'm gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.”

“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.”
