Mel Brooks
As long as the world is turning and spinning, we're gonna be dizzy and we're gonna make mistakes.
Mel Brooks
I've been accused of vulgarity. I say that's bullshit.
Mel Brooks
My mother is very short - four-eleven. She could walk under tables and never hit her head.
Mel Brooks
I've been taught ever since I was a kid that sex is filthy and forbidden, and that's the way I think it should be. The filthier and more forbidden it is, the more exciting it is.
