Take heart, Steve, and all you old guys out there. Best part of an interview with Clint Eastwood. "NEVER LET THE OLD MAN IN." http://www.esquire.com/entertainment...cott-eastwood/
ESQ: How do you stay vital? You're eighty-six but still making great work.
CE: Yeah, you're as young as you feel. As young as you want to be. There's an old saying I heard from a friend of mine. People ask him, "Why do you look so good at your age?" He'll say, "Because I never let the old man in." And there's truth to that. It's in your mind, how far you let him come in.
"I couldn't be more proud of him. I couldn't be more inspired by the films he makes."—Scott Eastwood
ESQ: Have you ever let the old man in?
CE: No.
ESQ: Never?
CE: No. He ain't out there.
ESQ: You don't even hear him in the middle of the night, knocking on the door?
CE: Once in a while, you get up and you've got a crick in your back and you go, [moans]. But you shake it away and you walk it off.
