Albert Brooks
Relaxation is the absence of worry.
Albert Brooks
I take anything other than 'you big pig!' as a compliment.
Albert Brooks
Regrets are stupid they don't mean anything and they don't add up to anything.
Albert Brooks
Your spouse should be just attractive enough to turn you on. Anything more is trouble.
Albert Brooks
Movies are an expensive business.
Albert Brooks
I've always liked to think ahead. Not stupid-far ahead. A hundred years doesn't interest me. But 20 years interests me, and more for what happens to humans as opposed to things.
Albert Brooks
Acceptance is going to a restaurant where the salad's not great, but the steak is fine.
Albert Brooks
I can't not put humor in a book.
