More quotes by Albert Brooks
Once you sign on as an actor, you know, you don't go to the editing room, you don't see how they cut, you don't see how they score, you don't see how they cast the rest of the movie.
Albert Brooks
I just like making people laugh, and buried in that I like to bring up topics and start discussions.
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
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
I've never been disappointed, because I've never given somebody I liked that much power.
Albert Brooks
You never do a movie and not want it to work. You accept whatever it is. You have to, but nobody in their right mind would not want the movie to be getting talked about at the end of the year.
Albert Brooks
Regrets are stupid they don't mean anything and they don't add up to anything.
Albert Brooks
I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it.
Albert Brooks

Albert Brooks
It's better to be known by six people for something you're proud of than to be known by sixty million for something you're not.
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
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
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 cast unusual people in my movies.
Albert Brooks
I don't want to get close to people who have secrets that I don't know about.
Albert Brooks
Relaxation is the absence of worry.
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'm a big consumer of news and I have my six newspaper sites booked. And what I like bout Twitter is it's almost, it allows me to make a comment about something that's just on my mind.
Albert Brooks
You make friends with older people and you always feel young no matter what.
Albert Brooks
I come from the place where I am thinking 'I have put my blood on the pages.'
