Albert Brooks
Image
I don't want to get close to people who have secrets that I don't know about.
Albert Brooks
Image
In the beginning of any career, in every job, people are always forcing you to the middle.
Albert Brooks
Image
I've always been the king of silence. I've always been a minimalist comedian. I've taken my influence from Jack Benny, who was the king of that I've always done 'less is more.'
Albert Brooks
Image
Even though my father was a radio comedian, it wasn't cool to say, at a young age, 'I want to be a comedian.'
Albert Brooks
Image
Most entertainment is trying to get you. It's tested, like toothpaste.
Albert Brooks
Image
Someone asked me what do you think of Donald Trump? And I said, I would rather vote for Hillary Clinton in jail. If she gets convicted, I'll vote for her for president.
