I'll accept bad taste in a minute, as long as there's some great comedy minds and performances.
Mel Brooks
Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made.
Mel Brooks
I was adored [as a kid]. I was always in the air, hurled up and kissed and thrown in the air again. Until I was six, my feet didn't touch the ground. Look at those eyes! That nose! Those lips! That tooth! Get that child away from me, quick! I'll eat him! Giving that up was very difficult later on in life.

Mel Brooks
Look at Jewish history. Unrelieved lamenting would be intolerable. So for every ten Jews beating their breasts, God designated one to be crazy and amuse the breast-beaters. By the time I was five I knew I was that one.
Mel Brooks
One day, God said 'Let there be prey.' And he created pigeons, rabbits, lambs and Gene Wilder.
Mel Brooks
Being short never bothered me for three seconds. The rest of the time I wanted to commit suicide.
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
Comedy is lively, comedy is joy, and that's what keeps us [people] going, we've got to look forward to little, little happiness's. Little, little joys, and comedy is very, very important, it's a vital. We underestimate its value, but we should see more comedies. Comedy is life giving, it's invigorating. I really believe it.
Mel Brooks
My favorite expression is: When you go up to the bell, ring it ? or don't go up to the bell.
Mel Brooks

Look, I had to take chances or it wasn't fun being funny.
