Movies are an expensive business. – Albert Brooks
By the way, movies are like sporting events in that youre as good as the movie youre in. You can sit in a room for 20 years and go do a movie and you can just kill in it and you move to the head of the line again. By the same token, you can do five movies a year and if theyre dreck, its nothing. – Albert Brooks

The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible.

I dont need cameras or agents, I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified. – Jeremy Renner
