I, sort of, got into comedy accidentally, and it got bigger than I wanted it to.
Albert Brooks
I just like making people laugh, and buried in that I like to bring up topics and start discussions.

There's always the standard six people you can hire that have played all these villains in Hollywood. Instinctively, when they come on screen, you know what's going to happen. You don't know the story, but you know what they do.
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.
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
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
Twitter is the Devil's playground.
Albert Brooks
So I think if you're happy with your brain, you're powerful.
Albert Brooks
Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive?
