I used to go to all-night screenings of (Clint Eastwood)`s movies. I`d stagger out at 5 in the morning, trying to be loose-limbed and mean and taciturn.
Daniel Day-Lewis
[On why he passed on Fatal Attraction (1987)] There wasn`t a grain of originality in it - it was Play Misty for Me (1971) with Michael Douglas filling in for Clint Eastwood. Also, the original version, the script I read, had Glenn Close winning in the end...
John Carpenter
I want people to re-evaluate me. My dream would be to make films like Clint Eastwood did... You have to be a self-starter out here at a certain point. It`s important to take the reigns or, otherwise, you can be regaled to obscurity so quickly.
Bill Paxton
Sean Penn and Clint Eastwood have told me that I shouldn`t feel that I need to be in the limelight or the spotlight all the time. A career is about longevity, as shown in their careers. So, I really want to only do the best things and work with the best p...
Emmy Rossum
[On the film Sharky`s Machine (1981)]: Author Sidney Sheldon first mentioned William Diehl`s novel Sharky`s Machine to me at a party. Soon afterward Clint Eastwood sent me a copy of the same best-selling book with a note saying: "This is Dirty Harry in At...
Burt Reynolds
(2004 quote) I once met Clint Eastwood, and it was remarkable. I studied him as I spoke to him. I looked down, and his pants were a little short -- they showed a bit too much of his socks. There was something so timid and shy and almost gawky about him in...
Dustin Hoffman
I did that garbage film with my brother (Men at Work (1990)) That didn`t work. I did an action movie Navy Seals (1990). That didn`t work. I did a buddy cop picture (The Rookie (1990)) with Clint Eastwood. I figured that one was a shoo-in. It was an honor ...
Charlie Sheen
(On seeing the Marlon Brando movie "Last Tango in Paris") "It was the first time that I understood that acting was an art form. It was not Clint Eastwood on a horse, Bob Hope in a road movie. It was not Don Knotts in The Incredible Mr. Limpet. These are f...
William Petersen
The subtlest comedy you can get right now is MASH (1970). They don`t want to see a picture unless Peter Fonda is running over a dozen people or unless Clint Eastwood has got a machine gun bigger then 140 penises. It gets bigger all the time, you know; it ...
Billy Wilder
I love being a strong female on the screen. It suits me fine and I think it`s nice that young girls can see some of their own inner fantasies on film. Boys have Clint Eastwood. I hope that girls enjoy seeing me leaping about. Young people need fantasy in ...
Sybil Danning
Apparently, I don`t know if this is true but I hope it is, I`ve heard it from a few reports, when we went up to get our awards apparently Clint Eastwood turned to someone that he was with and went, (Clint impression) `Who the fuck are they?`
Ricky Gervais
[on working with Clint Eastwood on Breezy (1973)] He`s even-tempered -- a personality trait not much in evidence among directors. The crew is totally behind him and that really helps things go smoothly.
William Holden
[on Seraphim Falls (2006)] I`ve always wanted to do a western, growing up as a boy in Ireland watching cowboys and Indians. When I left and went to London, Clint Eastwood came into my life with all of the great films that he made, and then of course I got...
Pierce Brosnan
We called him `mumbles.` He didn`t speak his words very loud. The sound man was always saying, `Kid, speak up!` But he mumbled his way to a fortune. [on Clint Eastwood]

This here`s a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and it can blow your head clean off. Now, you must ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well do you, punk? - Clint EastwoodDirty Harry
They damned near cleaned our clock. They were a formidable enemy. I threw myself into a bomb crater and there were two marines there and I realized I was the only one alive. It was an incredibly bitter battle, so I`d like Eastwood to do something that wou...
John Rich
It`s kind of like one of the `Dirty Harry` movies with Clint Eastwood. At the end of the film Clint says, `A man`s gotta know his limitations.`
David Meyer
I had a great crew, a wonderful director of photography in Jack Green, who had done a lot of Clint Eastwood`s films, so he`s a great third eye.
Charles S. Dutton
Clint Eastwood. Here`s a guy who`s been involved in so many movies, lots of them masterpieces, and now he`s a director. I just like everything I know about him. He`s very decisive, he makes up his mind real quick.
Bobby Farrelly
