More quotes by Albert Brooks
Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive?
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
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
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
I can't not put humor in a book.
Albert Brooks
The biggest waste of brainpower is to want to change something that's not changeable.
Albert Brooks
Your spouse should be just attractive enough to turn you on. Anything more is trouble.
Albert Brooks
Getting older is a lot of fun. Right up there with chewing glass or putting your hand in a blender.
Albert Brooks
So I think if you're happy with your brain, you're powerful.
Albert Brooks
When I die, if the word 'thong' appears in the first or second sentence of my obituary, I've screwed up.
Albert Brooks
If you're going to act and do this for a living, you want to play something that the audience didn't expect.
