"If you ever go to a music..." - Quote by Clint Eastwood
If you ever go to a music session, you'll notice that the musicians can sit down and start playing right away, and everyone knows what to do. Of course they're reading it, but the conductor can tweak little things, and you can take that back to directing motion pictures.

“Everybody's got a right to be a sucker ... once.”
“You always want to quit while you are ahead. You don't want to be like a fighter who stays too long in the ring until you're not performing at your best.”
“We were dealing with films that had very prominent roles for women and I felt I was actually contributing something. Many people had wondered why I would want to do a film where the best part was a woman's part. But I wasn't afraid to be the lesser intelligence in a film.”

“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.”
“I know, as an actor, I don't like sharing everything with the director. And it's fine if they don't with me.”
“I pay tribute to the writing always. The writer is a creative artist and the director is an interpretive artist and the actors are interpretive. You take zero and make it into something, that's always amazing to me.”
