Even though my father was a radio comedian, it wasn't cool to say, at a young age, 'I want to be a comedian.'
Albert BrooksThe 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.
