Clooney, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Syriana in 2006, reveals he is planning "a gradual rather than complete retirement" from acting. "I've been doing it a long time . . . I'm not tired, but I want to do only great scripts or work with directors I am dying to work with. You'd think that when you get the pick of the litter, the litter would be great. But it's very thin. It's hard to find class-A scripts. That's why we (Clooney and Heslov) write them. At least we can work on subject matter we're interested in."
