Favorite Quotes from Clint Howard

“One of my earliest memories is being inside the recording studio and I see the shadow of a figure that looks an awful lot like Walt Disney. Then the door opened and Mr. Disney walked in and said, ‘Hi Clint.’ I won’t ever forget that.”

– Clint Howard

“People don’t realize that doing a horror movie is hard work. You’re out there all day screaming your lungs out, breathing in toxic make-up fumes, rolling around in the dirt, getting your eyebrows burned off – it’s not like doing a sitcom.” 

– Clint Howard

“I don’t act because I love doing it, I act because it’s my job. At the end of the year, I gotta pay my taxes, bills, doctors, insurance, car insurance, the occasional vacation. It’s a wonderful job. The upside is that it is exciting and different… the downside is that it is an extremely insecure job.” 

– Clint Howard

“There’s always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.”

– Clint Howard

“And as an actor – or even as a person in the industry – if you’re unwilling to change, you’re just going to get swamped. You’ve got to be flexible, and you’ve got to go with the flow. That’s what I try to do as an actor.”

– Clint Howard
