Clint Eastwood

I still work out on a daily basis.

I was drafted during the Korean War.

I keep working because I learn something new all the time.

Everybody thinks making films back to back is a big deal but they did it all the time in the old days.

And I think it's that time. And I think if you just step aside and Mr. Romney can kind of take over. You can maybe still use a plane. Though maybe a smaller one. Not that big gas guzzler you are going around to colleges and talking about student loans and stuff like that.

Our modern society - especially in the West, and especially now - reveres youth.

Society is at odds with itself.

Crimes against children are the most heinous crime. That, for me, would be a reason for capital punishment because children are innocent and need the guidance of an adult society.

It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people's lives.

Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.

I haven't been very active in politics.

There are a lot of conservative people, a lot of moderate people, Republicans, Democrats, in Hollywood. It is just that the conservative people by the nature of the word itself play closer to the vest. They do not go around hot dogging it.

My mother knew how to read music and everything. But I just kinda learned off of records. And so, I was listening to records and I'd play 'em over and over.

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

You know when you're young and you see a play in high school, and the guys all have gray in their hair and they're trying to be old men and they have no idea what that's like? It's just that stupid the other way around.

Men must know their limitations.

There's only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I'll get married again.

People love westerns worldwide. There's something fantasy-like about an individual fighting the elements. Or even bad guys and the elements. It's a simpler time. There's no organized laws and stuff.

Overnight stardom can be harmful to your mental health. Yeah. It has ruined a lot of people.

I'm not really conservative. I'm conservative on certain things. I believe in less government. I believe in fiscal responsibility and all those things that maybe Republicans used to believe in but don't any more.
