Quote

On an awards-show day, I can play basketball, go in, take a shower and put on a tux - it takes me three minutes to put on a tux - and be out the door in 15 minutes.

Directing is much more satisfying to me than acting.

Growing old on screen is not for the faint of heart.
George Clooney
Image
I know love at first sight can work. It happened to my parents.
George Clooney
Image
I have been directing and involved in producing and the creating of films for quite a while as well as acting. I always think in terms of what the director needs, and not just for this scene but for the film.
George Clooney
Image
But I'm kind of comfortable with getting older because it's better than the other option, which is being dead. So I'll take getting older.
George Clooney
Image
I'm so lucky to have been raised the way I have, because my parents believed that everyone had the right to their own feelings, opinions, and existence as long as they weren't harming others, you had to defend those rights.

The people I've respected most in the industry over the years - Paul Newman, for instance. I just loved the way he handled growing old on-screen. It's understanding that you're now basically a character actor.

I enjoy living in a nice house and having a nice life. So I do two or three commercials overseas a year to sort of fill in, because they pay pretty well.

As a director, I do very few takes, because I feel like you hire the right actor and they'll do the job right. And the directors that I've worked with and had the best luck with - Jason and [ Steven] Soderbergh and the Coen brothers - all have been that kind of director.
George Clooney
Image
I don't know of an actor that the Coen brothers would come to and say, Hey, I've got a movie for you to be in, if you want to do it, that would say, No. That's the truth.
George Clooney
Image
I love children and I get along with them great. It's just that I believe if you're going to be a parent, there has to be something inside you that says, 'I want a family.' I don't feel that sense of urgency.
George Clooney

America can't beat anyone anymore.
George Clooney

Failures are infinitely more instructive than successes.
George Clooney
Image
The loneliest you will get is in the most public of arenas: You will go to a place and end up in the smallest compartment possible, because it's a distraction to everybody, and you end up not getting to enjoy it like everyone else.

What did Bush do on 9/11? He ran away and hid. Even Reagan knew more about leadership than that, and he was as bad a symbol of America as I can think of, off-hand. But at least he's been in enough cowboy movies to know he had to come out and stand on top of the rubble and be seen shaking his fist or something.

I go on YouTube when somebody says to look something up.

On Christmas morning, before we could open our Christmas presents, we would go to this stranger's home and bring them presents. I remember helping clean the house up and putting up a tree. My father believed that you have a responsibility to look after everyone else.

I rarely tell anybody what they should be doing with their life.
