Happy Birthday George Clooney!

I think you should automatically donate your organs because that would turn the balance of organ donation in a huge way. I would donate whatever anybody would take, and I'd probably do the cremation bit.

Mein Vater gab mir den besten Rat meines Lebens. Er sagte: „Was du auch tust, auf keinen Fall darfst du mit 65 aufwachen und darüber nachdenken, was du versäumt hast.“

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.

Die zunehmende Niveaulosigkeit mancher TV-Unterhaltung macht mir Angst.

Failures are infinitely more instructive than successes.

Erfolg macht jeden attraktiv.

If people see me having dinner with a beautiful woman, they immediately believe that I'm having a love affair with her. Of course that's rubbish. I'm not a playboy!

Es ist furchtbar, wie etwa das Leid von Menschen voyeuristisch ausgestellt, wie sich darüber sogar lustig gemacht wird. Das ist gefährlich, denn es leistet einer emotionalen Verrohung der Gesellschaft Vorschub.

In the '60s, when I was growing up, one of the great elements of American culture was the protest song. There were songs about the civil rights movement, the women's rights movement, the antiwar movement. It wasn't just Bob Dylan, it was everybody at the time.

Ich habe einfach nur Spaß. Ich weiß noch nicht, was ich mal werden will, wenn ich erwachsen werde. Ich versuche noch zu verstehen, ich probiere noch und gucke mich um.

I don't like to share my personal life... it wouldn't be personal if I shared it.

Ich habe mir gerade am Comer See ein Haus gekauft. Dort werde ich im Sommer hinfahren und mich mästen wie Marlon Brando.

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.

Ich verstehe nicht, warum er sich kein anderes Mädchen ausgesucht hat.

It's possible for me to make a bad movie out of a good script, but I can't make a good movie from a bad script.

In den USA haben wir keine Ahnung davon, wie man ißt oder trinkt.

There is a business like showbusiness: killing. 

Es gibt ein dem Show-Geschäft verwandtes Geschäft: das Töten.

Anyone would be lying if they said they didn't get lonely at times.

Was die Ladys wirklich wollen, liegt zwischen Konversation und Schokolade.

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.

Ach wissen Sie, das geht doch einfach, ein bisschen LSD, ein bisschen Koks, und schon sind die Pfunde weg.

After doing One Fine Day and playing a pediatrician on ER, I'll never have kids. I'm going to have a vasectomy.

Regie zu führen ist sehr interessant. Es macht mehr Spaß, der Maler zu sein als das Gemälde.

I enjoy going on motorcycle trips and stopping in small towns and enjoying drinks with the locals.

Es gibt die Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Bei meinen Eltern zum Beispiel.

You never really learn much from hearing yourself talk.

Hätte Al Gore sich nicht von Clinton wegen der Lewinsky-Affäre distanzieren müssen, er hätte die Präsidentenwahl gewonnen. Und er wäre nie in den Krieg gezogen. So was Lächerliches, Lewinsky bläst dem Präsidenten einen, und deshalb attackieren wir den Irak.

'Ides of March' I did for scale - scale as a director, scale as an actor, scale as a writer.

Die Geschichte zeigt uns, was eine inspirierende Persönlichkeit im Vergleich zu einem Präsidenten schaffen kann, der nur ein besserer Manager ist. Wenn Barack Obama an die Macht kommt, hoffe ich, dass er die Nation mit sich reißt und die Menschen aus ihrer Lethargie befreit.

I love children and I get along with them great. It's just that I believe if you're going to be a parent, there has to be something inside you that says, 'I want a family.' I don't feel that sense of urgency.

The only failure is not to try.

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.

I find that as you get older, you start to simplify things in general.

My grandparents back in Kentucky owned a tobacco farm. So, to make money in the summer, we could cut and chop and top and house and strip the tobacco.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's incredibly unfair. You don't see a lot of 60-year-old women with 20-year-old men onscreen.

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.
