If you're in traffic right now, look around. You'll see empty car seats. Nobody loves sitting in traffic. We don't. And neither do ESSO. Every filled passenger seat in this jam could mean one less car on the road. And ESO want to help with that. Carpooling could mean less traffic. Split fuel bills. And new friends. Are we friends?

Seth Dome catches up with George Clooney at the Venice Film Festival.

1:21.4

Do you want to look at yourself in...

1:23.7

No, I don't care. It's too old to give a shit anymore.

1:25.9

Oh, please.

1:26.9

I might wear these anyway just because I might keep them on. I'm also blind. When we sat down, I said, oh, do you want to see how you looked in the camera? You said, no, no, I don't care about that. Too old. Too old. Really? Well, I'm old now. I'm 64. But you don't think about that? You have to let go of that. You know, if you're hanging on to any kind of vanity at 64 years old, you know, you're going to be, you know, getting a softer lens and you're, you know, all that stuff. You're chasing your tail, man. It's going to bite you. I am who I am. I look like what I look like and it'll be all right.

You know, they build it on water. It's crazy. So I love being here. I know what people are thinking, but on the other hand, it's just, you know, this is us just trying to live our lives and not just, I don't want to live my life hiding and ducking with a hat over my face. You know, I want to live my life.

2:53.2

You can just go, how you doing, how's it going, and then get on with it? How much do you think about

2:57.3

aging? Our society seems obsessed with aging. Yeah. Well, it's aging or death. There's two options, right?

3:05.0

I'm okay with it. You know, I feel more grounded. Certainly I'm less angry. I'm also... What do you mean less angry? Well, when you're younger, you want to be right about everything. You know, don't paint that color of wall. And, you know, Mal and I, you know, famous, everybody gets ticked off when I say, but we don't, we've never had a fight, we never have an argument. And some of it is because I'm at this point in life where if she wants to paint the wall red, I don't care. You get to a point in life where you just go, well, why would that be a discussion or an argument?
