More quotes by Mel Brooks
Immortality is a by-product of good work.
Mel Brooks
When we got to our hotel rooms, mosquitoes as big as George Foreman were waiting for us. They were sitting in armchairs with their legs crossed.
Mel Brooks
I don't have a mission. I don't have a torch to burn.
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
I only direct in self-defense.
Mel Brooks
All short women have a delayed fuse. Marry a taller woman: My wife was an inch or two taller than me it's a sign of security.
Mel Brooks
If you're alive, make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death.
Mel Brooks

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

Mel Brooks
Critics can't even make music by rubbing their back legs together.
Mel Brooks
You got to be brave. If you feel something, you've really got to risk it.
Mel Brooks
Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love.
Mel Brooks
If you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be noisy and colorful and lively.
Mel Brooks
Good taste is the enemy of comedy.
Mel Brooks
That's it baby, if you've got it, flaunt it.
Mel Brooks
Every human being has hundreds of separate people living under his skin.
Mel Brooks
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
Don’t be stupid, be a smarty / Come and join the Nazi Party!
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
