Don't worry, and don't kick yourself forever. Just take the opportunities when they come.
Albert Brooks

Albert Brooks
I don't experience basic human emotions. It's not my thing.
Albert Brooks
There's nothing funny about flying to Houston.
Albert Brooks
I don't know that I can define fear. But one of the sources of fear is holding up some sort of model life that doesn't exist and feeling like you're far away from it.
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
I've always felt like I work in a small little area that doesn't represent anything like the rest of society.
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
Excited about Black Friday. Also excited about Jew Tuesday.
Albert Brooks
I've always been the king of silence. I've always been a minimalist comedian. I've taken my influence from Jack Benny, who was the king of that I've always done 'less is more.'
