More quotes by Albert Brooks
What naturally stops you making the film is there is no more money in the budget. That's really what it is.

So I think if you're happy with your brain, you're powerful.
Albert Brooks
There's always the standard six people you can hire that have played all these villains in Hollywood. Instinctively, when they come on screen, you know what's going to happen. You don't know the story, but you know what they do.
Albert Brooks
I like movies about failing.

I can't not put humor in a book.
Albert Brooks
How many people didn't get a part who would have been better than the person who got the part? Thousands.

Getting older is a lot of fun. Right up there with chewing glass or putting your hand in a blender.
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
I've always felt like I work in a small little area that doesn't represent anything like the rest of society.
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
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.
