A lot of dumb pictures have made a lot of money, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to be anything cinema students will revel over in the future.

The future is purchased by the present.

I don’t know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.

My folks always let me go to the movies every Saturday. We were really motion-picture goers.

I came to California and got signed at a young age. And it’s not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with Timbaland and Pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.

People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future.

At the major studios, you see people wanting to remake a TV series, wanting to make a sequel.

My biggest error? Something that is to happen yet.

I know that a large part of my fan base is gay. They’ve shown me love from the start. I mean in this industry, everyone from my glam people to my dancers are gay. You can’t be homophobic in this line of work – I’m a pop star!

The future of advertising is the Internet.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

I don’t think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that’s what counts.

A people do not throw their geniuses away. And if they are thrown away, it is our duty as artists and as witnesses for the future to collect them again for the sake of our children and, if necessary, bone by bone.

War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.

My future is righteousness.

The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.

A lot has happened over the years. And while this nation has been tested by war, and it’s been tested by recession and all manner of challenges – I stand before you again tonight, after almost two terms as your president, to tell you I am more optimistic about the future of America than ever before.

Because of lack of moral principle, human life becomes worthless. Moral principle, truthfulness, is a key factor. If we lose that, then there is no future.

Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.

I love making movies, but there’s nothing like performing live.

To me, the black black woman is our essential mother, the blacker she is the more us she is and to see the hatred that is turned on her is enough to make me despair, almost entirely, of our future as a people.

Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.

I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.

There are many events in the womb of time, which will be delivered.

So that’s the dissenter’s hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow.

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

Hollywood is not suited for me, and I am not suited for it.

If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.

Alfred Hitchcock once told me, when I was analyzing a lot of things about his pictures, ‚Clint, you must remember, it’s only a movie.‘

The future is called ‚perhaps‘, which is the only possible thing to call the future. And the important thing is not to allow that to scare you.

There’s no point in making predictions. It’s not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.

I now have two different audiences. There’s the one that has been watching my action films for 20 years, and the American family audience. American jokes, less fighting.

This is the first age that’s ever paid much attention to the future, which is a little ironic since we may not have one.

In Hollywood, a lot of times when something is in development, it just takes a lot of time.

The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it’s not going to happen. I’m fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years.

Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.

We can, for example, be fairly confident that either there will be a world without war or there won’t be a world – at least, a world inhabited by creatures other than bacteria and beetles, with some scattering of others.

I’m just changing the game because I know what the fans want and the people want ‚cause I’m a fan of hip-hop.

I think the message has already been sent to Hollywood, which is that this kid’s a hard worker, he’s talented, and people are coming out to see him. And when you have box-office results, Hollywood treats you different. Hollywood stands up.

We’ve gotta become the Martians. I’m a Martian – I tell you to become Martians. And we’ve gotta go to Mars and civilize Mars and build a whole civilization on Mars and then move out, 300 years from now into the universe. And when we do that, we have a chance of living forever.

Soon, I’ll be like all the others. The time will come for all of us, but the ideas of the Cuban Communists will remain.

You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it’s kind of a lifestyle and it’s easy to get caught up in it – you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone’s doing a certain thing… It’s tough.

The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable.

If my future were determined just by my performance on a standardized test, I wouldn’t be here. I guarantee you that.

Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.

You’ve gotta understand that with branding and the way things are promoted, in our day and age, your older movie stars are not reachable or accessible because they’re not a part of the whole social media world.

If I’d married someone in show business, there’d be too much competition.

It’s not going to do any good to land on Mars if we’re stupid.

Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.

Therefore I am sure that this, my Coronation, is not the symbol of a power and a splendor that are gone but a declaration of our hopes for the future, and for the years I may, by God’s Grace and Mercy, be given to reign and serve you as your Queen.

I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.
