More quotes by George Clooney
As you get older and ease your way into being a character actor you have to be comfortable with where you are in life and career, and I'm very comfortable with what I'm doing - working on projects I'm proud of.
George Clooney
When you first start out, you are just happy to get a job, any job. And as time goes on, either you move forward or screech to a halt.
George Clooney
The timing for directing is usually because it takes that long to develop a piece and then do pre-production and then post-production. It takes at least a couple of years. I prefer directing to doing other things. Directing and writing seem to be infinitely more creative
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
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
I had my Aunt Rosie, who was famous and then not, so I got a lesson in fame early on. And I understood how little it has to do with you. And also how you could use it.
George Clooney
I get asked a lot about getting into politics. I say, 'Take a look at politics. You tell me what seems appealing about that.'
George Clooney
The actions of President Trump have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad and given considerable comfort to our enemies, and whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear, he merely exploited it - and rather successfully.
George Clooney
I've always been an optimist.
George Clooney
We're always going to be a society that's going to slow down and look at the wreck on the side if the road if there is one. We're always going to do that because it's still fascinating and it's human nature.
George Clooney
I'm not completely against khakis. It's just the level that you have to wear them. The higher you pull them, then more excruciating it is.
George Clooney
Hosting is work. It means you don't get to go up to your room and disappear and take a nap. Like everybody else does after lunch. I'm talking about hosting, not hosting a dinner party, but hosting people staying in your home.
George Clooney
What I learned is that I should probably read a screenplay every once in a while before I said 'yes'. You could make bad film out of a good script, but you're never going to make a good film out of a bad script.
George Clooney
The owner of a local cannabis café told reporters George Clooney was no stranger there.
George Clooney
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.
George Clooney
It's not ideal to have three films coming out at once.
George Clooney
Any topical subject, if it's Hollywood, will be a couple of years later because you've got to write it, produce it and distribute it, so automatically you're never going to be right on the cutting edge of stories.
George Clooney
I can't give you 150 takes. I can't even give you 30 different ways of doing it! I don't have the talent or the range for it.
George Clooney
I've been left for someone...all those things...It was sometimes a surprise, and sometimes you saw t coming. The most painful was when I kept trying to get someone back. But we all make dumb mistakes.
George Clooney
It's not about an opening weekend. It's about a career, building a set of films you're proud of. Period.
George Clooney
