The truth is my development I hope is the same way as everything, which is, I succeed some, I fail some, and I keep slugging away at it. I really enjoy it. It's fun.

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?'

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.

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.

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
