If I'm going to act in someone's movie, I want the movie to be interesting and be able to get a couple of solid doubles.
Albert BrooksIf you're going to act and do this for a living, you want to play something that the audience didn't expect.
Albert BrooksIn the course of my movies, the financing and the releasing were always the tough part. Because I loved the creative, I loved the writing, I loved the making of it. Because I guess, I never had the giant blockbuster, I never got that sort of ease for the next one. So the next one was always, "how am I going to do this?" And that thing was sort of always the thing that made me a little chickenshit to go into the next one. The writing of it was great and the making of it was great, but how am I going to release this thing and am I going to find a studio?
