"You don't feel like it's something hyped up. It's like walking or dancing or music. He won't even say 'action'' He'll say, 'whenever you're ready,' which I love," said Diane Venora, who worked with Eastwood in the movie "Bird."
Morgan Freeman also loves working with Eastwood. "Million Dollar Baby" got him an Oscar and he's got a nomination this year for "Invictus."

"Sure, Clint! That's how it goes," said Freeman "It's a no brainer. You want to send me the script? You don't have to."

"I just like working, I guess. I enjoy the process. I enjoy filmmaking. I enjoy storytelling," said Eastwood.
The documentary film is included in a new DVD set called "Clint Eastwood: 35 Films, 35 Years at Warner Brothers."
