Albert Brooks
When I was younger, I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something, which never leads to anything except death, where everything leads to.

Albert Brooks
If we had 3 million exhibitionists and only one voyeur, nobody could make any money.
Albert Brooks
Film is the cheapest part of the movie making process. The expense is the 100-man crew and the financing and everything.
Albert Brooks
I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but the future ain't that funny.
Albert Brooks
