George Clooney Quotes...

"I'm really white trash."

"I'm the flavor of the month."

"I'm a Method actor. I spent years training for the drinking and carousing I had to do in this film."

"I'm certainly the last person to give advice on, well, anything."

"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."

"The only failure is not to try."
