Albert Brooks
Most entertainment is trying to get you. It's tested, like toothpaste.
Albert Brooks
I just like making people laugh, and buried in that I like to bring up topics and start discussions.
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 got so good at writing to a budget, my brain was restricting myself. I'd write, It's a stormy night. Then I'd cross out stormy. I'd write: It's a calm night. Then I'd cross out night. It's noon. Because you know how much night costs. You know how much rain costs. Nothing comes free in movies.
Albert Brooks
Don't worry, and don't kick yourself forever. Just take the opportunities when they come.

Albert Brooks
Donald Trump announces this morning that he will run for president. His hair will announce on Friday.
Albert Brooks
I've never been disappointed, because I've never given somebody I liked that much power.
Albert Brooks
If you paint, write, do mosaics, knit - if it's solving that part of your brain saying, 'I need to do this,' you've won.
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.
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
I have children. I have a family to support. But I really could live in a one-room apartment, as long as the television worked. I never needed anything. Just a comfortable chair and I'm fine.
Albert Brooks
The biggest waste of brainpower is to want to change something that's not changeable.
