I just make good movies. That’s the way I thank my fans.

Over the years, all my coaches and my teammates have contributed a lot to shape my career. I can never forget their contribution and help.

I’ve never been that much of a money guy. I’m more of a film guy, and most of the money I’ve made is in defense of trying to keep creative control of my movies.

Whether we’re happy with our circumstances or not, giving God praise is so important.

I used to like to set different film clips to classical music, not even my own songs, but make little movies.

Nothing is worth more than this day.

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.‘

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

I know about two things: ‚Rocky III‘ and Clubber Lang, and ‚A-Team‘ and B.A. Baracus. That’s who I am!

Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.

He that has done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.

I do love the films I’ve done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we’re trying to make people laugh and I’m very proud of that.

The next thing I knew, I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called, GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.

I’m very active on social media and see the huge impact it has on engaging with fans and being able to have a voice.

I have been trying to retire to the back of the camera for quite a few years, and in 1970, when I first started directing, I said, ‚If I could pull this off, I can some day move to the back of the camera and stay there.‘

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

Movies are not novels, and that’s why, when filmmakers try to adapt novels, particularly long or complex novels, the result is almost always failure. It can’t be done.

The Revlon Run/Walk effort to focus on women’s cancer has my wholehearted support and gratitude.

I don’t want to be too critical of what other people do, but when people go back to do the same thing that they did, I’m completely confused. I’m like, ‚Didn’t you make that movie already?‘ I’ve been very fortunate, and I’m well taken care of, so the least I can do is try to go forward.

I love the movies, and when I go to see a movie that’s been made from one of my books, I know that it isn’t going to be exactly like my novel because a lot of other people have interpreted it. But I also know it has an idea that I’ll like because that idea occurred to me, and I spent a year, or a year and a half of my life working on it.

Movies were invented for Jimmy Cagney, and he was invented for the movies. A perfect match.

I think if you make a good movie, people walk away arguing.

Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.

My wife has about everything I can think of.

Be content with what you are, and wish not change; nor dread your last day, nor long for it.

Too much TV hurts movies.

You may think it was a very little thing, and in these days it seems to me like a trifle, but it was a most important incident in my life. I could scarcely credit that I, the poor boy, had earned a dollar in less than a day; that by honest work, I had earned a dollar. I was a more hopeful and thoughtful boy from that time.

I don’t think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He’s given you… but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things… he’s not a small God; this God is incredible.

I try to look on all the great things God’s done, and not focus on the negative. It’s a perspective.

I’ve been really, really fortunate.

As you know, I’m an immigrant. I came over here as an immigrant, and what gave me the opportunities, what made me to be here today, is the open arms of Americans. I have been received. I have been adopted by America.

Movies are fun, but they are no cure for cancer.

I love being American, and I love family. I love having a family, and I feel so blessed, and I feel like God gave me exactly what I wanted, so now I have to do the right thing in God’s eyes also. Just follow what God wants me to do.

I’ve always loved the idea of playing Black Adam.

All our actions, as well as our thoughts and words, should praise Him who always blesses us.

Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.

I look at where I’m at today and realize that most of my success is owed to the mentors that was in my life.

The instrument that I never learned how to play was my fans. You know, they are the part of the story that nobody teaches you. I just want to do the right thing; I want to be a voice with them, among them.

There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.

How do people relate to movies now, when they’re on portable devices or streaming them? It’s not as much about going to the movies. That experience has changed.

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.

I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.

I’m grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes.

When one’s expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have.

Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don’t recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp.

I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, ‚Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.‘

I am a giant proponent of giant screens. But I accept the fact that most of my movies are going to be seen on phones.

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don’t know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.

Oh, hour of forgiven sin, moment of perfect pardon, our soul shall never forget you while, within you, life and being find immortality!

The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.

Of the blessings set before you make your choice, and be content.

I was a chemistry major, but I’m always winding up as a teacher in English departments, so I’ve brought scientific thinking to literature. There’s been very little gratitude for this.

I didn’t want to be a writer, but I became one. And now I have many readers, in many countries. I think that’s a miracle. So I think I have to be humble regarding this ability. I’m proud of it and I enjoy it, and it is strange to say it this way, but I respect it.

When I’m making an American film, it’s more safe because there are so many people on the set to watch me. Whatever I do, they say, ‚What are you doing!? Tell me first!‘ There are so many restrictions.

I am who I am today because of my mother.

I would never exchange my life with anybody else’s.

This is a moment that I deeply wish my parents could have lived to share. My father would have enjoyed what you have so generously said of me-and my mother would have believed it.

If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.

It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.

Never in any case say I have lost such a thing, but I have returned it. Is your child dead? It is a return. Is your wife dead? It is a return. Are you deprived of your estate? Is not this also a return?
