More quotes by George Clooney
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.
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 do happen to have a good life... But I also like to work. I feel like I got the brass ring and I got very lucky in this.
George Clooney
It's hard to find actors that don't feel contemporary when you put them in a period piece.
George Clooney
The secret of directing is working with really good people.
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
My biggest fear is doing the same things 10 years from now. That would be a failure. It's something you have to constantly reassess, and asking yourself what you are going to do next makes it a good, long full journey.
George Clooney
The script for this film was written 52 years ago by Edward R. Murrow, who taught us many valuable lessons about responsibility and always, always questioned authority, because without it authority often goes unchecked.
George Clooney
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.
George Clooney
Honestly, as you can imagine, it really isn't all that fun directing yourself, running back and forth to the monitors to see if you're terrible or not.
George Clooney
I've walked with very famous people down red carpets over to the crowd of thousands of people, and you'll reach out to shake their hand and they've got a camera in their hand. And they don't even get their hand out, because they're recording the whole time.
George Clooney
When you go to Detroit you see a town that is resilient, that's just fighting to win again, and there's an energy to that. Just watching a city really fighting to get back on its feet and watching the inner strength of a city is tremendous.
George Clooney
As time goes on and you become more comfortable in your career path, and things are starting to make sense, and it's not just about work, you find that you're able to focus on other things and other people.
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
In 2003 I was saying, where are the ties [between Iraq] and al-Qaida? Where are the ties to 9/11? I knew it where the f**k were these Democrats who said, 'We were misled'? That's the kind of thing that drives me crazy: 'We were misled.' F**k you, you weren't misled. You were afraid of being called unpatriotic.
George Clooney
Run for office? No. I've slept with too many women, I've done too many drugs, and I've been to too many parties.
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 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
It's incredibly unfair. You don't see a lot of 60-year-old women with 20-year-old men onscreen.
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
