More quotes by Albert Brooks
One of the things I like about a character: I always think it's fascinating when a character can turn on a dime and go from one emotion to another. I like watching that.
Albert Brooks
I come from the place where I am thinking 'I have put my blood on the pages.'
Albert Brooks
I take anything other than 'you big pig!' as a compliment.
Albert Brooks
There's nothing funny about flying to Houston.
Albert Brooks
When I audition, I understand what it takes and the insecurities that come with it. If I do anything, I put actors at ease. I used to tell directors who weren't actors, the best thing they could do was take an acting class for a couple of months. Just to understand.
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
I've seen the future! It's a bald-headed man from New York!
Albert Brooks
Well, you know, with every character, if you're going to expose yourself, you've got to figure out every detail that you're going to play. So there's no character that you can just go put on his shirt and be fully prepared.
Albert Brooks
I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but the future ain't that funny.
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 a member of the Academy, but I don't know who all the other Academy members are. It's not like a politician who knows who is in the Iowa caucus.
Albert Brooks
I'm not Elvis. I don't get chased by paparazzi.
Albert Brooks
Donald Trump announces this morning that he will run for president. His hair will announce on Friday.
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
Fear is like a giant fog. It sits on your brain and blocks everything - real feelings, true happiness, real joy. They can't get through that fog. But you lift it, and buddy, you're in for the ride of your life.
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
I was in Kashmir last weekend. Went to visit one of my sweaters.
Albert Brooks
If we had 3 million exhibitionists and only one voyeur, nobody could make any money.
Albert Brooks
Relaxation is the absence of worry.
Albert Brooks
Your spouse should be just attractive enough to turn you on. Anything more is trouble.
Albert Brooks
