“Albert Brooks is one of the specifically original and great comedy talent. And Julie Hagerty was the perfect person for him to play with. And this has one of the most famous comedy monologues in film. Albert wrote, I think with Monica Johnson on this, wrote, directed, starred in. I think I was in this. He always said, 'Be in the film and I'll make it fun.' I always said yes, it was never fun. But this is the most valuable thing I got from the experience.”
