More quotes by Albert Brooks
Don't worry, and don't kick yourself forever. Just take the opportunities when they come.
Albert Brooks
In my screenplays - from the very beginning I've always used tape. I talk my screenplays. And then have somebody transcribe them.
Albert Brooks
Movies are an expensive business.
Albert Brooks
If you look at the best-seller list for American fiction, they're all sequels to detective stories or stories about hunting serial killers. That's what's called American fiction these days.
Albert Brooks
I've done performances in movies that I was immensely proud of and the movies didn't take off like a rocket at Cape Canaveral, it didn't take off.
Albert Brooks
I take anything other than 'you big pig!' as a compliment.
Albert Brooks
Relaxation is the absence of worry.
Albert Brooks
I don't want to get close to people who have secrets that I don't know about.
Albert Brooks
Nobody will leave any place unless they're forced out. That's the nature of humans. Once you're there, you're there. I've never seen anybody get up voluntarily and leave any place.
Albert Brooks
Excited about Black Friday. Also excited about Jew Tuesday.
Albert Brooks
You always got to be happy when somebody likes what you do. It's stupid not to be happy.

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
I cast unusual people in my movies.
Albert Brooks
'Drive' came to me because the casting director knew my manager and called and said, 'You've always talked to me about Albert wanting to play the heavy. I think he should read this.' My ears just perked up.
Albert Brooks
I'm not a big fan of the post-Armageddon stories, where Denzel Washington is walking around in a torn coat.
Albert Brooks
Acceptance is going to a restaurant where the salad's not great, but the steak is fine.
Albert Brooks
I got so good at writing to a budget, my brain was restricting myself. I'd write, It's a stormy night. Then I'd cross out stormy. I'd write: It's a calm night. Then I'd cross out night. It's noon. Because you know how much night costs. You know how much rain costs. Nothing comes free in movies.
Albert Brooks
What naturally stops you making the film is there is no more money in the budget. That's really what it is. If you had an unlimited budget, if you were a billionaire and you financed your own movies, then you can either date, because you can sit in an editing room for six years, like Howard Hughes, and never finish anything.
Albert Brooks
Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive?
