Clint Eastwood Quotes:
  • "The cruelty of nature is you have to work out harder when you get older ... It should be the other way around: Work out hard when you're a kid — you should be able to coast when you get older. But unfortunately you have to do more to stay in the same position."
  • Accepting his lifetime achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild: "I hope this doesn't mean I'm supposed to collect my pension and head on down the road." (March 2003)
  • [1985]: "My old drama coach used to say, 'Don't just do something, stand there.' Gary Cooper wasn't afraid to do nothing."
  • My father used to say to me, "Show 'em what you can do, and don't worry about what you're gonna get. Say you'll work for free and make yourself invaluable."
