I've been to many funerals of funny people, and they're some of the funniest days you'll ever have, because the emotions run high.
Albert Brooks

Be generous and you can be the best person who ever lived.

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
Image
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
Image
Your spouse should be just attractive enough to turn you on. Anything more is trouble.
Albert Brooks
Image
In the beginning of any career, in every job, people are always forcing you to the middle.
Albert Brooks
Image
Getting older is a lot of fun. Right up there with chewing glass or putting your hand in a blender.

For the most part, improvising while cameras are rolling is very difficult. 99% of people you should never ask to do that, because they're under pressure, the clock is running, 80 people are staring at you...it's always unnatural.

What naturally stops you making the film is there is no more money in the budget. That's really what it is. If you had an unlimited budget, if you were a billionaire and you financed your own movies, then you can either date, because you can sit in an editing room for six years, like Howard Hughes, and never finish anything.

I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it.
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.

I'd still like to see 'Survivor' minus the planned show-biz parts. That would be the purest form of show business - I want to see someone so hungry that they eat somebody else's foot.

I was in Kashmir last weekend. Went to visit one of my sweaters.
Albert Brooks
Image
I've always been in the middle of making my own movies, so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.
Albert Brooks
Image
You know, when cameras are rolling, improvisation doesn't feel natural. The pressure is too great. You're on a time schedule. You've got 60 crewmen.
Albert Brooks
Image
Regrets are stupid they don't mean anything and they don't add up to anything.
Albert Brooks
Image
I guess 'The Player' was a pretty good L.A. movie. And 'Chinatown.' Was there ever a better L.A. movie about a certain period in L.A.? That was terrific.

Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive?

There's nothing funny about flying to Houston.

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