George Clooney

I was drunk driving home, you know, which is never a good thing to do.

I wasn't drunk drunk, but I'd had too much to drink.

And my buddy came over, two of my friends came over and sat down and said,

That can't ever happen again, dude.

You can't ever get in a car when you've had too much to drink.

And, you know, and of course they were right.

And that was probably 30 years ago.

But it was very helpful to, you know, have people that instead of like laughing about the fact that I'd had,

instead of two and came home and got home without getting, you know, without getting in trouble for it, instead of thinking that was funny, they were like, dude, that's not cool and you shouldn't do that again.

And I appreciated that and I took that to heart, you know.

But I have friends that, you know, my friends have always been very straightforward with me.

I'll do a project that, you know, that I'll think works and they'll say, yeah, I don't know about that one.

So I don't mind that.

It's important to have that in your life.

Well, I will say this.

I didn't do it because there was some great plan.

I did it because I had no interest in being married and having kids, and I had an interest in working.

I was very excited with having a career.

I couldn't believe I was having one.

And I had all of these friends who had been my friends when, you know, when you're a young actor and probably young anything, you know, that's when you tend to make all your friends either out of college or just after and you make a lot of good friends.
