“Sometimes [directors] don’t change with the times,. They don’t reach out to material that they can change or grow with. I think if I had come back from Italy in the ’60s and [only] knocked off a few westerns, I would have been out of business long ago. I think pushing the envelope, constantly changing, constantly searching for new material and new things to overcome, both as an actor and as a director — that’s the secret. Not being limited. And so you could say, a man shouldn’t know his limitations.” — Clint Eastwood talking to N.Y. Daily News profiler John Clark.
