How many people didn't get a part who would have been better than the person who got the part? Thousands.
Albert Brooks
Most entertainment is trying to get you. It's tested, like toothpaste.
Albert Brooks
I've seen the future! It's a bald-headed man from New York!
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've always been in the middle of making my own movies, so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.
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
I come from the place where I am thinking 'I have put my blood on the pages.'
Albert Brooks

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've done performances in movies that I was immensely proud of and the movies didn't take off like a rocket at Cape Canaveral, it didn't take off.
Albert Brooks
The biggest waste of brainpower is to want to change something that's not changeable.
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
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
I've never been disappointed, because I've never given somebody I liked that much power.
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 a big fan of the post-Armageddon stories, where Denzel Washington is walking around in a torn coat.
Albert Brooks
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
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.
