"There's a funny thing about fame. The truth is you run as fast as you can towards it because it's everything you want. Not just the fame but what it "represents", meaning work, meaning opportunity. And then you get there, and it's shocking how immediately you become enveloped in this world that is incredibly restricting."
Quote by -George Clooney
"There is something very unsettling about being with someone when they die. People say it's peaceful. It's not peaceful. It's the most personal thing you can do, is die, and you feel almost like you're invading someone's most personal moment by being there."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I think one of the major misconceptions about me is that I live my life the way people think I lead my life, with hot and cold drinks running everywhere and a party all the time. They think of my life in terms of certain excesses that don't really exist. Things are actually fairly simple."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I believe in all the qualities of being a liberal. I keep going back to all the great social events in our country's history, starting with the Salem witch trials, where the conservative view was that they're witches and should be burned at the stake, and the liberal view was there's no such thing as witches."
Quote by -George Clooney
"You don't want to try to look younger, because you'll look wrong. You dye your hair, you look wrong. You wear a bad toupee, you look wrong. You wear makeup to hide things, you get your eyes done, you look wrong."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I grew up in a family of storytellers, but Google has destroyed us because you can fact-check everything. We'd always like the stories to be a little better than they were."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I think anyone who is famous is a moron if they're on Twitter. It's just stupid."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I like owning dirt. You know, I spent a lot of time broke when I moved to California. So deep in my soul is still this idea of being unemployed. To me, owning land means you could sell it at some point and have money."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I don't tweet, I don't go on Facebook. I think there's too much information about all of us out there. I'm liking the idea of privacy more and more."
Quote by -George Clooney
"On Christmas morning, before we could open our Christmas presents, we would go to this stranger's home and bring them presents. I remember helping clean the house up and putting up a tree. My father believed that you have a responsibility to look after everyone else."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -George Clooney
"Anytime there's an actual grassroots movement that isn't funded by people trying to create a grassroots movement, I find that interesting."
Quote by -George Clooney
"If we turn our heads and look away and hope that it will all disappear then they will - all of them, an entire generation of people. And we will have only history left to judge us."
Quote by -George Clooney
"My father ran for Congress in 2004, and I got a sense that there is no way to achieve much "success" without a certain amount of compromise."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I love my grey hair and wrinkles. I love the fact that my face has more of an edge and more character than it did when I was in my twenties and thirties. No Botox for me."
Quote by -George Clooney
"If I had been with all the women that I was said to have been with, I wouldn't have had the time to shoot a single movie!"
Quote by -George Clooney
"It's very easy for people to be critical of President Obama's first term, but let's face it, he didn't exactly inherit the country in the best shape."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I think the reason why a lot of young people are such screw ups... is oftentimes they didn't have the luxury I had of forming important relationships and opinions and life experiences before having success."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I certainly direct with confidence even if I'm not confident. I learned early on as an actor that confidence can be faked, and it's not always a terrible thing to do. A lot of times if people feel you're confident, then they're confident."
Quote by -George Clooney
"Fame can be very dangerous, because you can start to enjoy that part of it. And that's not the good part of what I do for a living. The good part is the making of films. The unpleasant part is the fame part, if you're not careful."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I was very lucky to get well known much later in life. You need to have flopped quite a few times to get a sense of how little any of it has to do with you."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I've had some success at writing and directing, and I like it. It's infinitely more creative than just acting, and I have things I want to say and do."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I did a lot of terrible TV shows and was really terrible in them, and I've done terrible films I was terrible in, but nobody really noticed."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -George Clooney
"When you first start out as an actor, you're just looking for a good part. As time goes on, if you're being held responsible for the movies themselves, you're looking for a good script all around."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I just think there are a lot of celebrities who don't feel that they have a voice. A lot of actors come from a place of fear, and that's just a general statement about actors. You're terrified the casting director won't like you, you're terrified the producer won't like you, you're terrified the director won't like you, and on and on."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -George Clooney
"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."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -George Clooney
"I watch 'Batman & Robin' from time to time. It's the worst movie I ever made, so it's a good lesson in humility."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -George Clooney
"My life isn't focused on results. My life is really focused on the process of doing all the things I'm doing, from work to relationships to friendships to charitable work."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -George Clooney
"'Ides of March' I did for scale - scale as a director, scale as an actor, scale as a writer."
