[about her father, Clint Eastwood] He talks funny. It just drives me crazy. Like he walked into the bathroom while I was taking a shower and when I looked up to see what he wanted, he said, 'You up? You taking a shower?' What did he expect me to say, no? I was standing there taking a shower!

My dad has eight children by six women. He's 81 now and his youngest child is 14.

[on having a famous last name] It's a plus and a minus. It's kind of a plus because obviously, people are curious and they want to go okay, we want to meet so and so's daughter and let's see if she's a chip off the old block kind of thing. But, on the other hand, as I was starting to kind of get into acting as an adult on my own and kind of take classes and starting to learn how to audition and really work, it took me a few years to really get a sense of what I was doing. Everyone has to learn in their own time. The only problem is that I can't get away with having growing pains and life lessons and going in and maybe falling flat on my face or screwing something up or having a bad audition without people remembering it because oh it's Clint Eastwood's daughter. You know, there's no anonymity for me, where as somebody, Sara Brown can walk in and go through all these different things that actors go through to really know their craft and get to know their what they need to do to prepare.

[on her biological clock] I am not really so concerned about that, because I think I got pretty good genes as far as my mom had me when she was in her 40s and she didn't, that was in '72 and back then people never had kids when they were 40 or even late 30s, it was pretty unheard of. So, you know, if it happens, it happens. I kind of believe in things that are meant to be. But, I am not gonna; well I have to have a kid now if I don't want one. I love kids and I love animals and I have a great motherly instinct. It's just, responsibility-wise, I am not ready. I have a lot of things I want to do. You know, you start your own business, and you are trying to pursue a career and do all these things and you still want to go out and see the world a bit, and you can't really do that with toddlers attached to your hip. So, I figure there will be a time and a place when that will be right.

I've never really tried to prove myself. I just try and do the best that I can. I don't think I am like a great actress. I think I am working towards trying to be better. I am working towards trying to be a good businessperson, a great clothing designer. I mean, you choose what you want to do in life and all you can do is try and be the best, but there is a process somewhere in the middle of that.

[on posing naked in Playboy magazine] I did it because I felt like okay, I am 30, I am in great shape, I feel like it's the prime of my life. I am not always going to look this way and feel this way and also, I really felt it was going to be a great help. Which it has been in a lot of ways to my clothing line. I didn't really do it because, oh, this is going to help my acting career.

My dad wasn't around a lot when I was growing up and the only time I saw him was on the sets.
