In spite of my unabashed adoration of George Clooney, this is not just a thinly veiled excuse to get his handsome face on my blog.
\nParade magazine recently featured Clooney on its cover, then ran a related Q&A on its website. The article, headlined What Drives George Clooney<\/a>, included this snippet that’s a perfect fit for Newvine Growing:<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve talked about how lucky you are. What have you learned from your failures?<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s hard when you get thumped. I\u2019ve been proficient at failure. But the only thing you can do is say, \u201cHere\u2019s what I won\u2019t do next time.\u201d
\nI was a baseball player in school. I had a good arm, I could catch anything, but I was having trouble hitting. I would be like, \u201cI wonder if I\u2019ll hit it; just let me hit the ball.\u201d And then I went away for the fall, learned how to hit, and by my sophomore year I\u2019d come to the plate and think, \u201cI wonder where<\/em> I want to hit the ball, to the left or right?\u201d Just that little bit of skill and confidence changed everything. Well, I had to treat acting like that. I had to stop going to auditions thinking, \u201cOh, I hope they like me.\u201d I had to go in thinking I was the answer to their problem. You could feel the difference in the room immediately.
\nThe greatest lesson I learned was that sometimes you have to fake it. And you have to be willing to fail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And now,\u00a0 a trailer for Clooney’s new movie, Ides of March, shot partially in Ann Arbor<\/a>:
