Stars Thinking Goal

More From Albert Brooks

We all know of course, that we should never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fiddle around in any way with electrical equipment. never.

I'm not really a movie star. no matter what i do in acting, whether i'm good, how much work i get, whatever, i never will be a movie star. because i never think of myself as one. you are a movie star because you think of yourself as a movie star and always have.

The goal wasn't to be a millionaire or to be a hollywood star. that was not the goal. the goal was something about - the goal was to find the goal, but i knew where it was.

I'm not a movie star like other actors in the way that i need to walk around with a bodyguard. my goal is just to get some interesting parts and make enough money to live free. otherwise, to be a movie star, it's a lot of compromise and also a lot of headaches. you can't do what you want. you become a prisoner of your fame. this happened to me in france and i don't want it. i want to go to the terrace of a café, have a coffee. i have no problems with the fact that people recognize me, i'm very glad about it, but to be a movie star is kind of unreal for me.

Well, i don't like the word 'rock star,' the two words, 'rock star.' not even 'soft rock star. not even limestone star. i don't like those words.

You yourself create all your misery, hour after hour, day after day. you think the goal justifies the means, even the vile means. you are wrong: the goal is in the path on which you arrive at it. every step of today is your life of tomorrow. no great goal can be reached by vile means. that you have proven in every social revolution. the vileness or inhumanity of the path to the goal makes you vile or inhuman, and the goal unattainable.

I'm moving - as a person and as a writer - through time. i'm a different age. i'm thinking about different things. i have different life experiences. i'm trying to get closer to being honest. and by closer i mean that at different ages i have different ideas of what the truth is, and at any point i'm trying to express that at that moment in time.

I think my work comes out of both an intense desire for connection and what it means to feel isolated. there's always going to be a kind of tidal movement back and forth between the two.

There's not a day i live that doesn't start with me getting up and first saying, "what can i do for somebody else?" whether that means sending something to one of my children or picking up the phone and calling a stranger who is in the hospital, i start every day by wanting more for others than i do for myself.

It's commonly said that people who've been ill in childhood and who've had an upset education never really regret that they do. it means that you don't look at the world in the way that other people do, and if you were inclined to be a writer, that's a help.
