Albert Brooks
Getting older is a lot of fun. Right up there with chewing glass or putting your hand in a blender.
Albert Brooks
You make friends with older people and you always feel young no matter what.

You can equate acting to a tennis game: When you're playing one of the best, you get better.
Albert Brooks
In the beginning of any career, in every job, people are always forcing you to the middle.
Albert Brooks
I like movies about failing.
Albert Brooks
The biggest waste of brainpower is to want to change something that's not changeable.
Albert Brooks
Bullfights are hugely popular because you can sit comfortably with a hot dog and possibly watch a man die. It wont be me, but I can sit comfortably and watch it.
