You don't sit in the dark and go, 'Oh my God, that's my mother.' Albert Brooks comicaldarkdaughter share on social
If you don't succeed on your own ground, then there's no reason to succeed. Unless, of course, you really want a boat. If you're a person who feels that with a yacht, everything will be all right, then you should do whatever you have to and get the yacht. Albert Brooks boatfeltgrind share on social
