And then as I got older, and then I had my kids and everything, I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.
Albert Brooks

When I audition, I understand what it takes and the insecurities that come with it. If I do anything, I put actors at ease. I used to tell directors who weren't actors, the best thing they could do was take an acting class for a couple of months. Just to understand.
Albert Brooks
