More quotes by Mel Brooks
But I have bad taste with a deep fount of intellectuality.
Mel Brooks
American sex is generally straight. It happens at 11 o'clock Saturday night. In the rural areas, it happens at nine and it happens pretty fast. Got to get up the next morning, especially if there're kids. Can't make noise, either, wake the kids.
Mel Brooks
There's an army story in me, and I think there's a WWII Brooks film somewhere.
Mel Brooks
Don’t be stupid, be a smarty / Come and join the Nazi Party!

I usually start with the words. The rhythm of the words gives me the rhythm of the song, and then I look for the musical highlights in it to carry it.
Mel Brooks
Be interested in everything. You don't have to adore it. I don't adore hip-hop, I don't think it's great music, but I'm interested, I listen. I watch a lot of new films, I see everything. I still read, I like books, whether they are old books, new books. I'm interested - you gotta stay interested!
Mel Brooks
I'll accept bad taste in a minute, as long as there's some great comedy minds and performances.
Mel Brooks
Critics can't even make music by rubbing their back legs together.
Mel Brooks
Do you have a dollar on you? I hate to answer questions for nothing.
Mel Brooks
An egg cream can do anything. An egg cream to a Brooklyn Jew is like water to an Arab. A Jew will kill for an egg cream. It's the Jewish malmsey.
Mel Brooks
I love gentiles. In fact, on of my favorite activities is Protestant spotting.
Mel Brooks
Woody Allen is a genius. His films are wonderful. He's poetic, but he's also a critic. He artfully steps back from a social setting and criticizes it without - I suspect - without letting himself be vulnerable to it.
Mel Brooks
Creative people should always be striving, they should always be hungry, they should be looking for the next place to go.
Mel Brooks
