What you learn after you are 40 is that it is just about plugging up holes in the boat. You just hope you have enough corks to plug enough of the holes.

More quotes by George Clooney
I'm really white trash.
George Clooney
Peace is a fulltime job. It's protecting civilians, overseeing elections, and disarming ex-combatants. Peace, like war, must be waged.
George Clooney
There's a certain cruelty to being on a big screen as your eyelids start to sag and your hair falls out and turns gray that you either have to be able to handle or not. What you can't do is try to force yourself into roles that you could have played or would have played ten years earlier.
George Clooney
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
I've met my bride-to-be in Italy and I will be married in Italy soon, in a couple of weeks. In Venice of all places! In closing, I guess what I would like to say is to my bride-to-be, Amal, that I love you very much and I can't wait to be your husband.
George Clooney
I think people in Italy live their lives better than we do. It's an older country, and they've learned to celebrate dinner and lunch, whereas we sort of eat as quickly as we can to get through it.
George Clooney
Directing is much more satisfying to me than acting.
George Clooney
My parents were disappointed I didn't finish college, and they were really upset when I went to Hollywood to become an actor. I was a big disappointment to them.
George Clooney
It is rather astonishing that the United States does not play ball with the ICC, considering our country was the beacon of the idea of an international criminal court.
George Clooney
I didn't enjoy working with Bill [Murray]. We fought a lot... but I've let go of some of the anger and we seem to get along fine now.
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
Who would name their kid Jack with the last words 'off' at the end of the last name? No wonder that guy is screwed up.
George Clooney
Everyone makes moral choices that better themselves and hurt someone else along the way - and whether or not the means justify the ends. And that, to me, is universal.
George Clooney
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
The secret of directing is working with really good people.
George Clooney
When you're young, you tend to believe what people tell you, and that's dangerous. As you get older, you learn that you're never as good or as bad as they say you are. If you understand this, you win.
George Clooney
Getting older is not something that you're not much concerned with.
George Clooney
I've certainly done some turkeys along the way and made some dumb choices in my career, mostly early on. I'm one of the lucky ones who got to make a lot of mistakes very early when no one was paying attention.
George Clooney
I had to stop going to auditions thinking, 'Oh, I hope they like me.' I had to go in thinking I was the answer to their problem.
George Clooney
The first thing that I learned - and I understood it at a really young age - was that I could get a laugh. Really early. Because my mother and father are funny.
George Clooney
