Clint Eastwood grew up during the Great Depression. Since desperate times call for desperate measures, Eastwood and his family had to move from town to town, and he barely managed to spend a few months in each one of the schools he was enrolled in.

Hot Stories

During high-school and after graduation, Eastwood worked various jobs: truck driver, hay baler, logger and steel-furnace stoker, and also served in the U.S. Army. All of these roles happened before Eastwood finally moved to Hollywood.

As he was a tall and handsome young man, Eastwood landed a screen test with Universal and got a small contract despite the fact that he wasn’t an experienced actor. Clint’s first major success came with Sergio Leone's trilogy of spaghetti westerns – The Man With No Name. The following years earned Eastwood a place among the most famous and respected Hollywood artists.

Here are the best Clint Eastwood quotes gathered from his movies and speeches.
