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.

If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.
Albert Brooks
'Drive' came to me because the casting director knew my manager and called and said, 'You've always talked to me about Albert wanting to play the heavy. I think he should read this.' My ears just perked up.
Albert Brooks
It's better to be known by six people for something you're proud of than to be known by sixty million for something you're not.

Acceptance is going to a restaurant where the salad's not great, but the steak is fine.
Albert Brooks
I've always liked to think ahead. Not stupid-far ahead. A hundred years doesn't interest me. But 20 years interests me, and more for what happens to humans as opposed to things.
Albert Brooks
How many people didn't get a part who would have been better than the person who got the part? Thousands.
