How many people didn't get a part who would have been better than the person who got the part? Thousands.

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.

Relaxation is the absence of worry.

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.

Even though my father was a radio comedian, it wasn't cool to say, at a young age, 'I want to be a comedian.'
Albert Brooks

I, sort of, got into comedy accidentally, and it got bigger than I wanted it to.

Steven Spielberg seems to have wanted to be a director from 13. He put his dog in a certain position and made him eat at four o'clock. He liked to direct it. But, to me, directing is tedious. Especially if you're acting in it. And I'm inherently lazy.

It's better to be known by six people for something you're proud of than to be known by sixty million for something you're not.

I was in Kashmir last weekend. Went to visit one of my sweaters.
Albert Brooks

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.
