Character archetype: the Mentor
The best teacher is not the one who knows most but the one who is most capable of reducing knowledge to that simple compound of the obvious and wonderful.
Albert was fun because he was so into it but he was also very nervous of it, especially when he had to kill people. I’d have to be like, “No, Albert, harder! No Albert, stab him!” Eventually I was like, “Kill the fucking guy!” So, it was a constant evolution but in the end he became like a killing machine. - Nicolas Winding Refn on Albert Brooks
