Eastwood, 79, whose latest film “Invictus” tells the true story of South African president and civil rights leader Nelson Mandela, didn’t mince words in the magazine discussing his negative feelings toward modern America.
"[The U.S. is] becoming more juvenile as a nation. The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits,” the Academy Award winning actor and director told the magazine. "The world needs this kind of story nowadays. It's just ... everybody's so screwed up. It seems like our country's in kind of a morbid mood, because of the recession or whatever."

(on hearing that Spike Lee complained there were no black troops in the film Flags of our Fathers) There was a small detachment of black troops on Iwo Jima as a part of a munitions company, but they didn't raise the flag. The story is 'Flags of Our Fathers,' the famous flag-raising picture, and they didn't do that. If I go ahead and put an African-American actor in there, people'd go, 'This guy's lost his mind.' I mean, it's not accurate. Has he ever studied the history? He was complaining when I did 'Bird'. Why would a white guy be doing that? I was the only guy who made it, that's why. He could have gone ahead and made it. Instead he was making something else. A guy like him should shut his face.

(on the Iraq war) I wasn`t for going in there. Only because democracy isn`t something that you get overnight. I don`t think America got democracy overnight. It`s something we had to fight for and believe in.

When I was doing The Bridges of Madison County (1995), I said to myself, "This romantic stuff is really tough. I can`t wait to get back to shooting and killing stuff.

(on what he says after a take, instead of "Cut!") That`s enough of that shit!

Maybe I`m getting to the age when I`m starting to be senile or nostalgic or both, but people are so angry now. You used to be able to disagree with people and still be friends. Now you hear these talk shows, and everyone who believes differently from you is a moron and an idiot - both on the Right and the Left.
