I'm not a person who I ever thought would do well with divorce. Not that it can't happen. I just didn't want that. So I waited a long time to meet the right person. Then I finally met someone that I was willing to be divorced from.
Albert Brooks
I've never been disappointed, because I've never given somebody I liked that much power.
Albert Brooks
I can't not put humor in a book.
