Someone who speaks very little but uses precise and direct words in short sentences [duplicate]
I'm looking for the adjective to describe a person that speaks very little, but when he/she does, his / her sentences are kept to a minimal length and words are sharp, precise and powerful. Think of those "Clint Eastwood" type of movie character that use one-liners and use as few words as possible to get their point across.
