More quotes by Albert Brooks
Bullfights are hugely popular because you can sit comfortably with a hot dog and possibly watch a man die. It wont be me, but I can sit comfortably and watch it.
Albert Brooks
As an actor, if you're just sitting and staring and you don't know who you are in your own mind, it's vacant. And sometimes the camera is an X-ray machine, it can pick it up.

Albert Brooks
Someone asked me what do you think of Donald Trump? And I said, I would rather vote for Hillary Clinton in jail. If she gets convicted, I'll vote for her for president.
Albert Brooks
The biggest waste of brainpower is to want to change something that's not changeable.
Albert Brooks
You know, I became a director out of necessity. I was writing comedies, and I couldn't find anybody to deliver it correctly.
Albert Brooks
My mother was supportive without knowing it. Deep down she wanted all the right things, she just didn't see the world like I did, and she's not supposed to.
Albert Brooks
I don't know that I can define fear. But one of the sources of fear is holding up some sort of model life that doesn't exist and feeling like you're far away from it.
Albert Brooks
If we had 3 million exhibitionists and only one voyeur, nobody could make any money.
Albert Brooks
A lot of alliteration from anxious anchors placed in powerful posts!
