On the feud with Fabio after the two men nearly came to blows inside an LA restaurant. Fabio later said he could beat Clooney up. George's take: "Yeah, that's probably true. He's a big guy. There is a moment when you are actually in the argument and you're thinking, 'If I do get beaten down by Fabio, that will be far worse than the pain. I wouldn't shake that."

On a Web site that calls Clooney "gay, gay, gay," he quips: "No, I'm gay, gay. The third gay – that was pushing it."

On ridiculous Donald Trump's recent "short guy" comments about the 5- feet 11-inches tall actor: "I saw Donald Trump on Larry King and he was saying, 'Clooney is a very short guy. I mean he's a tiny guy.' I've met Donald Trump once, and I was sitting at a table. He came over, shook my hand, and walked away. I guess I looked about three foot five sitting at that table."

On a quote from increasingly bitchy Rupert Everett criticizing Clooney's Ocean's movies as a "cancer," George retorts: "Where did that come from? You kind of go, Dude, weren't you in Dunston Checks in?"
