* George on aging: “You can’t try to hide your age and you can’t try to pretend it isn’t there. You have to use it as a tool.”
* George on Renee: “In movies, so often the guy gets to be the one with all the answers. In this one, she’s the smart one. Which was incredible acting on her part.”
* Clooney on directing Renee: “She’s my friend, so I can be really direct. I can say, ‘That’s not a good angle,’ and not try to manipulate her, saying, ‘Well, maybe you’d be looking off over there because the moon is shining.’”
* Renee on working for George: He doesn’t even know how important his opinion has been to me over the years. I don’t want to disappoint him.”
* Renee on George the director: “I just get so proud that my head pops off. George is such a confident director, and he has no idea. And he’s a nice person. It gets boring hearing that, but it’s true. Every once in a while you get the real good guy. You’ve got your Jimmy Stewart. You’ve got your Paul Newman. Now you’ve got your George Clooney.”
