More quotes by Albert Brooks
What naturally stops you making the film is there is no more money in the budget. That's really what it is. If you had an unlimited budget, if you were a billionaire and you financed your own movies, then you can either date, because you can sit in an editing room for six years, like Howard Hughes, and never finish anything.
Albert Brooks
Twitter is the Devil's playground.
Albert Brooks
All improv turns into anger. All comedy improv basically turns into anger, because that's all people know how to do when they're improvising. If you notice shows that are improvising are generally people yelling at each other.
Albert Brooks
Excited about Black Friday. Also excited about Jew Tuesday.

Albert Brooks
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.
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.
Albert Brooks
I like movies about failing.
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
Getting older is a lot of fun. Right up there with chewing glass or putting your hand in a blender.
Albert Brooks
I take anything other than 'you big pig!' as a compliment.
Albert Brooks
I don't think the goal is, 'How big a star did you ever become?' I think the goal is, 'Were you able to express yourself?'
