Clint Eastwood: straight shooter
Great quotes from a recent interview in Esquire:
As Jerry Fielding used to say, “We’ve come this far, let’s not ruin it by thinking.”
I remember going to a huge waterfall on a glacier in Iceland. People were there on a rock-platform overlook to see it. They had their kids. There was a place that wasn’t sealed off, but it had a cable that stopped anybody from going past a certain point. I said to myself, You know, in the States they’d have that hurricane-fenced off, because they’re afraid somebody’s gonna fall and some lawyer’s going to appear. There, the mentality was like it was in America in the old days: If you fall, you’re stupid.
We live in more of a pussy generation now, where everybody’s become used to saying, “Well, how do we handle it psychologically?” In those days, you just punched the bully back and duked it out.
I don’t know if I can tell you exactly when the pussy generation started. Maybe when people started asking about the meaning of life.
