See, the first thing about actors is, you’re just trying to get a job; and you audition and audition and you finally get them. And you still consider yourself an auditioning actor. I auditioned for One Fine Day (1996), I wasn’t offered that. So you’re still in that ‘Hey, I’m just trying to get a job’ thing. Then, you get to the point where, if you decide to do it, then they’ll make the film. That’s a different kind of responsibility, and it usually takes a couple of films to catch up. And then you have to actually pay attention to the kind of films that you’re making. — George Clooney, Unknown
