GEORGE Clooney isn’t sure if he’ll ever settle down — he’s just living his life the way he wants to live it.

The actor — who’s currently dating Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis — says he isn’t planning to get married, but he hasn’t completely ruled out the idea.

“I’m just living my life the way I choose to live it and hope it all works out, but I’m also well aware that certain things you can do which are cute when you do them at 20 become less cute when you’re still doing them at 48,” he said.

The actor — who is divorced from actress Talia Balsam — also discussed comments he made 1n 1993 that he’d never remarry.

“Well, here’s the real answer to that. I said those things in 1993 in an interview and it has kind of stuck with me ever since,” Clooney said. “I find myself now constantly having to defend it. When you get famous you think it’s important to tell people everything you know and everything you think but you don’t realize that these will be the headlines down the road.

“The truth is that it’s not a consideration. I’m not considering marriage, I don’t think I will have children — it’s a big responsibility. But I don’t have this mantra that I have been going around screaming.”

“I think friendship is a part of love, they’re not mutually exclusive,” Clooney added. I have great love for my friends. So I don’t think you really separate one from the other. But maybe I’m wrong, it’s worked out well for me don‘t you think? What would I do for my friends?

“Do you remember who Al Cowlings was? He was the guy who drove O.J. Simpson’s car when he was running away. He was sort of made the bad guy for a while. I always kind of liked that guy. You know, your buddy comes to you and says, ‘Listen get me out of here.’ You know you’re going to get introuble for it but you go, ‘Alright, I’ll drive, go and get a mask, apassport and $20,000 and jump in the back.’ I always liked that so I always like to think I’d drive.”
