More quotes by Albert Brooks
Acceptance is going to a restaurant where the salad's not great, but the steak is fine.
Albert Brooks
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.
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've always felt like I work in a small little area that doesn't represent anything like the rest of society.
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
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.

What's interesting about books that take place in the future, even twenty years in the future, is that many of them are black or white: It's either a utopia or it's misery. The real truth is that there's going to be both things in any future, just like there is now.

I was in Kashmir last weekend. Went to visit one of my sweaters.
Albert Brooks
I don't think the goal is, 'How big a star did you ever become?' I think the goal is, 'Were you able to express yourself?'
Albert Brooks
I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it.
Albert Brooks
You can equate acting to a tennis game: When you're playing one of the best, you get better.
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.
Albert Brooks
I like movies about failing.
Albert Brooks
A lot of alliteration from anxious anchors placed in powerful posts!
Albert Brooks
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
As an actor, if you're just sitting and staring and you don't know who you are in your own mind, it's vacant. And sometimes the camera is an X-ray machine, it can pick it up.
Albert Brooks
In the beginning of any career, in every job, people are always forcing you to the middle.
Albert Brooks
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.
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
When I was younger, I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something, which never leads to anything except death, where everything leads to. And then as I got older, and then I had my kids and everything, I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.
