Albert Brooks
I've seen the future! It's a bald-headed man from New York!
Albert Brooks
Fear is like a giant fog. It sits on your brain and blocks everything - real feelings, true happiness, real joy. They can't get through that fog. But you lift it, and buddy, you're in for the ride of your life.
Albert Brooks
What naturally stops you making the film is there is no more money in the budget. That's really what it is.

Albert Brooks
Twitter is the Devil's playground.
Albert Brooks

Albert Brooks
I come from the place where I am thinking 'I have put my blood on the pages.'
