EASTWOOD: 'AMERICA HAS GONE SOFT'

CLINT EASTWOOD sorely misses his tough youth, insisting America has gone soft since.

Clint Eastwood at The 2008 Kennedy Center honourees gather for the traditional pre-honours dinner at the State Department, Washington DC, USA - 061208

The 78-year-old actor claims life was simpler and easier in his upbringing during the depression - when problems were solved using fists rather than a therapist's couch.

Eastwood tells the January (09) edition of Esquire magazine, "Everyone's become used to saying, 'Well, how do we handle it psychologically?'

"In those days you punched the bully back and duked it out. People were tougher then.

"I was a shy kid. But a lot of my childhood was spent punching the bullies out."
