More quotes by Albert Brooks
I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it.
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
Art and resistance are great together. That's what art's made for. Look at Vincent van Gogh: He didn't cut off his ear because he was selling well.
Albert Brooks
I'm not a big fan of the post-Armageddon stories, where Denzel Washington is walking around in a torn coat.
Albert Brooks
Getting older is a lot of fun. Right up there with chewing glass or putting your hand in a blender.
Albert Brooks
Well, you know, with every character, if you're going to expose yourself, you've got to figure out every detail that you're going to play. So there's no character that you can just go put on his shirt and be fully prepared.
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
'Drive' came to me because the casting director knew my manager and called and said, 'You've always talked to me about Albert wanting to play the heavy. I think he should read this.' My ears just perked up.
Albert Brooks
I've never been disappointed, because I've never given somebody I liked that much power.
Albert Brooks
