Albert Brooks
When I went to acting school, the kids that got the best grades were the kids that could cry on cue. But it didn't really translate into careers for any of them, because the external is the easy part.
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

Albert Brooks
I never wanted to be a director.
Albert Brooks
It's interesting when you're part of a group - the Jews, to be exact - that the world has had such problems with.
