I think that’s a good idea,” said Clooney but what about proposals on how to achieve that enquired the reporter.<br /><br />“I am not very good at that,” responded the star.<br /><br />“Oh I think you are,” said the female reporter with a wide smile.<br /><br />“Proposals! Hold wait a minute let’s set this down right now,” concluded Clooney.
