More quotes by Mel Brooks
I've been accused of vulgarity. I say that's bullshit.
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
Critics can't even make music by rubbing their back legs together.
Mel Brooks
When you get big special effects pictures, sci-fi and things, there's little or no comedy. Or it's a domestic comedy and there's not one special effect. But very rarely do these things fuse and come out right.

Mel Brooks
You're always a little disappointing in person because you can't be the edited essence of yourself.
Mel Brooks
I only direct in self-defense.
Mel Brooks
When I'm writing a script, I don't worry about plot as much as I do about people. I get to know the main characters - what they need, what they want, what they should do. That's what gets the story going. You can't just have action, you've got to find out what the characters want. And then they must grow, they must go somewhere.
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
We rest our case on the production numbers.
Mel Brooks
Ill just say whats in my heart: Ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump.
Mel Brooks
If presidents can't do it to their wives, they do it to their country.
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.
Mel Brooks
Judd Apatow is pretty good, both as a producer and as a director.
