I don't experience basic human emotions. It's not my thing.
Albert Brooks

All improv turns into anger. All comedy improv basically turns into anger, because that's all people know how to do when they're improvising. If you notice shows that are improvising are generally people yelling at each other.

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.

Excited about Black Friday. Also excited about Jew Tuesday.

In my screenplays - from the very beginning I've always used tape. I talk my screenplays. And then have somebody transcribe them.

Film is the cheapest part of the movie making process. The expense is the 100-man crew and the financing and everything.

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.

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
Image
I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it.

Starting to drink now in preparation for New Years. No more last minute stuff like Christmas.

I'd still like to see 'Survivor' minus the planned show-biz parts. That would be the purest form of show business - I want to see someone so hungry that they eat somebody else's foot.
Albert Brooks
Image
It's interesting when you're part of a group - the Jews, to be exact - that the world has had such problems with.
Albert Brooks
Image
Your spouse should be just attractive enough to turn you on. Anything more is trouble.
Albert Brooks
Image
I don't think the goal is, 'How big a star did you ever become?' I think the goal is, 'Were you able to express yourself?'
Albert Brooks
Image
I've always been the king of silence. I've always been a minimalist comedian. I've taken my influence from Jack Benny, who was the king of that I've always done 'less is more.'

Image
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.

'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.
