I cast unusual people in my movies.
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
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
I take anything other than 'you big pig!' as a compliment.

Albert Brooks

Albert Brooks
Your spouse should be just attractive enough to turn you on. Anything more is trouble.
Albert Brooks
I guess 'The Player' was a pretty good L.A. movie. And 'Chinatown.' Was there ever a better L.A. movie about a certain period in L.A.? That was terrific.
Albert Brooks
You make friends with older people and you always feel young no matter what.
Albert Brooks
I, sort of, got into comedy accidentally, and it got bigger than I wanted it to.
Albert Brooks
My mother was supportive without knowing it. Deep down she wanted all the right things, she just didn't see the world like I did, and she's not supposed to.
Albert Brooks
I'm a big consumer of news and I have my six newspaper sites booked. And what I like bout Twitter is it's almost, it allows me to make a comment about something that's just on my mind.
Albert Brooks
Steven Spielberg seems to have wanted to be a director from 13. He put his dog in a certain position and made him eat at four o'clock. He liked to direct it. But, to me, directing is tedious. Especially if you're acting in it. And I'm inherently lazy.
Albert Brooks
Excited about Black Friday. Also excited about Jew Tuesday.
