More quotes by 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 have children. I have a family to support. But I really could live in a one-room apartment, as long as the television worked. I never needed anything. Just a comfortable chair and I'm fine.
Albert Brooks
My mother was supportive without knowing it. Deep down she wanted all the right things, she just didn't see the world like I did, and she's not supposed to.
Albert Brooks
If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.
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.
Albert Brooks
Film is the cheapest part of the movie making process. The expense is the 100-man crew and the financing and everything.
Albert Brooks
There's nothing funny about flying to Houston.
Albert Brooks
When I die, if the word 'thong' appears in the first or second sentence of my obituary, I've screwed up.
Albert Brooks
I come from the place where I am thinking 'I have put my blood on the pages.'
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 never wanted to be a director.
Albert Brooks
Excited about Black Friday. Also excited about Jew Tuesday.
Albert Brooks
Art and resistance are great together. That's what art's made for. Look at Vincent van Gogh: He didn't cut off his ear because he was selling well.
Albert Brooks
Donald Trump announces this morning that he will run for president. His hair will announce on Friday.
Albert Brooks
You know, when cameras are rolling, improvisation doesn't feel natural. The pressure is too great. You're on a time schedule. You've got 60 crewmen.
Albert Brooks
If you paint, write, do mosaics, knit - if it's solving that part of your brain saying, 'I need to do this,' you've won.
Albert Brooks
My friend Harry Nilsson used to say the definition of an artist was someone who rode way ahead of the herd and was sort of the lookout. Now you don't have to be that, to be an artist. You can be right smack-dab in the middle of the herd. If you are, you'll be the richest.
Albert Brooks
I don't want to get close to people who have secrets that I don't know about.
Albert Brooks
I'm not interesting enough on my own that you'd want to see a film about me.
