More quotes by Albert Brooks
I've always been in the middle of making my own movies, so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.
Albert Brooks
I've always liked to think ahead. Not stupid-far ahead. A hundred years doesn't interest me. But 20 years interests me, and more for what happens to humans as opposed to things.
Albert Brooks
When I was younger, I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something, which never leads to anything except death, where everything leads to. And then as I got older, and then I had my kids and everything, I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.
Albert Brooks
If anything happens to me, tell every woman I've ever gone with I was talking about her at the end. That way, they'll have to reevaluate me.
Albert Brooks
How many people didn't get a part who would have been better than the person who got the part? Thousands.
Albert Brooks
The world really changed after 9/11, not just in the tragic way, but in every way. So it took me a couple of years to even understand how my art form I could process any of this. When the world changed, eliciting laughter with subjects that were funny to me before 9/11 just didnt seem good enough.
Albert Brooks
Relaxation is the absence of worry.
Albert Brooks
The biggest waste of brainpower is to want to change something that's not changeable.
Albert Brooks
Steven Spielberg seems to have wanted to be a director from 13. He put his dog in a certain position and made him eat at four o'clock. He liked to direct it. But, to me, directing is tedious. Especially if you're acting in it. And I'm inherently lazy.
Albert Brooks
If you're going to act and do this for a living, you want to play something that the audience didn't expect.
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
In the beginning of any career, in every job, people are always forcing you to the middle.
Albert Brooks
For the most part, improvising while cameras are rolling is very difficult. 99% of people you should never ask to do that, because they're under pressure, the clock is running, 80 people are staring at you...it's always unnatural.
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
I'm not interesting enough on my own that you'd want to see a film about me.
Albert Brooks
I cast unusual people in my 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
Be generous and you can be the best person who ever lived.
Albert Brooks
I like movies about failing.
Albert Brooks
I don't experience basic human emotions. It's not my thing.
Albert Brooks
