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.

More quotes by George Clooney
Venice is the prettiest city I've ever seen. It looks like a Disneyland ride.
George Clooney
The idea that every time you do a film you're supposed to be tortured confuses me. I mean, guys who say Oh, it's really tough, my character is really suffering - come on. For us, even in the rotten ones, we've had a good time. I don't think you have to suffer.
George Clooney
If people see me having dinner with a beautiful woman, they immediately believe that I'm having a love affair with her. Of course that's rubbish. I'm not a playboy!
George Clooney
I bought a piano once because I had the dream of playing As Time Goes By as some girl's leaning on it drinking a martini. Great image. But none of it worked out. I can't even play Chopsticks. But I've got a nice piano at my house!
George Clooney
All I will say is we get wiser as we get older. And that what I am looking for in life is the same as I always have happiness, peacefulness and joy. And that's all I'm going to say about that because otherwise I'd get into trouble
George Clooney
If we dig deep in our history and remember that we are not descendants from fearful people, we proclaim ourselves indeed as we are the defenders of freedom wherever it continues to exist in the world.
George Clooney
My grandparents back in Kentucky owned a tobacco farm. So to make money in the summer we could cut and chop and top and house and strip the tobacco.
George Clooney
Directors are the captains of the ship, and it's your job as the lead actor to make sure that the rest of the cast understand that by doing whatever he says.
George Clooney
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.
George Clooney
Directing is much more satisfying to me than acting.
George Clooney
I know what my limitations are as an actor, but my strength is putting myself into a well-written part. When I get in trouble is when I have to fix it, or when I have to carry it on personality.
George Clooney
It's not that I lead this oblivious life where I think I've got such a great personality that people want to spend time with me. If someone has a poster of you or asks for your autograph, clearly you can't take them out on a date. It's not that interesting if someone is just interested in you.
George Clooney
I'm the flavor of the month.
George Clooney
I was in a bar and I said to a friend, 'You know, we've become those 40-year-old guys we used to look at and say, 'Isn't it sad?'
George Clooney
I would vote for Johnny Depp. We could use a president that could swashbuckle.
George Clooney
If you don't drink coffee, I am suspicious of your character and will not invite you to my Italian lake home.
George Clooney
I'm a liberal. I'm confused when that became a bad word...
George Clooney
The first question is something immediate -- and immediately, we need humanitarian aid to be allowed into the Sudan before it becomes the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
George Clooney
Whatever anybody believes as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else, it's fair enough, and works, and I think, is real, and matters. I don't happen to have those beliefs, as much, you know, I don't believe in those things.
George Clooney
Directing is really exciting. In the end, it's more fun to be the painter than the paint.
