More quotes by Mel Brooks
Coleman Jacoby and Arnie Rosen won an Emmy and Mel Brooks didn't! Niezsche was right! There is no God! There is no God!
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 not enough bad taste! I LOVE bad taste! I live for bad taste! I am the spokesman for bad taste!
Mel Brooks
Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.
Mel Brooks
Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love.

Never retire! Do what you do and keep doing it. But don't do it on Friday. Take Friday off. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, go fishing...Then Monday to Thursday, do what you've been doing all your life. My point is: Live full and don't retreat.
Mel Brooks
I've been accused of vulgarity. I say that's bullshit.
Mel Brooks
Every human being has hundreds of separate people living under his skin.
Mel Brooks
I only direct in self-defense.
Mel Brooks
I don't think in terms of results at all. I think: what next insanity can I shock the world with?
Mel Brooks
Dom DeLuise was a big man in every way. He was big in size and created big laughter and joy.
Mel Brooks
Comedy is serious - deadly serious. Never, never try to be funny! The actors must be serious. Only the situation must be absurd. Funny is in the writing, not in the performing. If the situation isn't absurd, no amount of joke will help.
Mel Brooks
You got to be brave. If you feel something, you've really got to risk it.
Mel Brooks
Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.
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
