Eastwood and Michelangelo



"The story is told that when Michelangelo was asked what he had seen in the one particular block of mar­ble, which he chose among hundreds of others, he replied that he saw Moses. I would offer the same answer to your question—only backwards. When they ask me what I ever saw in Clint East­wood, who was playing I don’t know what kind of second-rate role in a West­ern TV series in 1964, I reply that what I saw, simply, was a block of marble". 
Interview with Sergio Leone by Pete Hamill, 1984

Thanks to you Pauline Kael

Pauline Kael.
Yeah.
She's never said a good thing about me yet.
That dirty old broad.
But she's probably the most qualified critic in the world 'cause she cares about film and those that are involved in it.
Jerry Lewis
