What naturally stops you making the film is there is no more money in the budget. That's really what it is.

Albert Brooks
I just like making people laugh, and buried in that I like to bring up topics and start discussions.
Albert Brooks
Don't worry, and don't kick yourself forever. Just take the opportunities when they come.
Albert Brooks
The world really changed after 9/11, not just in the tragic way, but in every way. So it took me a couple of years to even understand how my art form I could process any of this. When the world changed, eliciting laughter with subjects that were funny to me before 9/11 just didnt seem good enough.
Albert Brooks
