George Clooney

It was a very special night, and then I had a big map that I put up, and those Tumi bags were sitting in front of them at this dinner table, and I just said, so...

I don't get a job if I don't get to sleep on Tom's couch in Hollywood.

And I don't get this unless I was in Westwood.

And Giovanni, we met in Venice.

And I put pens in all these maps, all these spots in the maps of where we were and what we did.

And I said, and how do you thank the people that

gave you a career and allowed you to have a career and have stood by you for so long.

And I said, you know, so.

And then I said, open the bags.

And I said, screw it.

I said, just give him a million bucks.

So it was a fun thing to do.

And I was very happy to do it.

And then, of course, I met them all.

We got married.

And you're thinking, well, I just gave away a big chunk of money.

Not always.

You know, I wrote it, so I had to understand as much as I could about those same spheres of influence that we're talking about.

You know, there are very few times that someone had the power to actually affect policy.

Someone in news, for instance.
