More quotes by Albert Brooks
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 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.

What's interesting about books that take place in the future, even twenty years in the future, is that many of them are black or white: It's either a utopia or it's misery. The real truth is that there's going to be both things in any future, just like there is now.
Albert Brooks
I've seen the future! It's a bald-headed man from New York!
Albert Brooks

Acceptance is going to a restaurant where the salad's not great, but the steak is fine.
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
Starting to drink now in preparation for New Years. No more last minute stuff like Christmas.
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
Don't worry, and don't kick yourself forever. Just take the opportunities when they come.
Albert Brooks
I come from the place where I am thinking 'I have put my blood on the pages.'
Albert Brooks
I'm not Elvis. I don't get chased by paparazzi.

I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but the future ain't that funny.
Albert Brooks
It's interesting when you're part of a group - the Jews, to be exact - that the world has had such problems with.

Twitter, to me, works if you're funny. Twitter doesn't work as a promotional tool unless you do it very, very, very occasionally.
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.

I cast unusual people in my movies.
