Acting is the only time when I truly maintain the spontaneity that I want to be present at all times.
(Acting) certainly comes-100 percent-from the need to be loved. Any actor who says this isn't true is lying.

From an outsider's perspective, it's amazing what [Clint Eastwood] does. If he's not directing a film, he's acting in it, or rather he's composing the music for that film. His commitment to what he does is astounding for all of us to witness. It's inspiring, actually.
