I don't have a mission. I don't have a torch to burn.
Mel Brooks
I love gentiles. In fact, on of my favorite activities is Protestant spotting.
Mel Brooks
Hope for the Best. Expect the worst. Life is a play. We're unrehearsed.
Mel Brooks
Every human being has hundreds of separate people living under his skin.
Mel Brooks
We want to get people laughing we don't want to offend anybody.
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
Oh, I'm not a true genius. I'm a near genius. I would say I'm a short genius. I'd rather be tall and normal than a short genius.
Mel Brooks
The audience. They see the name Mel Brooks, they want something really funny. They don't want to be moved they don't want to be taught any lessons. [...] I get more letters for Twelve Chairs and Life Stinks than I get from any other movies, because people actually agree with the philosophy, or were moved, or they love the movie.
Mel Brooks
I have always been a huge admirer of my own work. I'm one of the funniest and most entertaining writers I know.
Mel Brooks
Humor is just another defense against the universe.
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
I'm still a horse that can run. I may not be able to win the Derby, but what do you do when you retire? People retire and they vegetate. They go away and they dry up.
Mel Brooks
If God wanted us to fly, He would have given us tickets.
Mel Brooks
Immortality is a by-product of good work. Masterpieces are not for artists, they're for critics. Critics can't even make music by rubbing their back legs together. My message to the world is 'Let's swing, sing, shout, make noise! Let's not mimic death before our time comes! Let's be wet and noisy!'
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
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
I was a soldier in WWII. The last couple of months of the war I was actually in combat.
Mel Brooks
If you're alive, make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death.
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 have been lucky that some critics joined the mob in loving something I've done, or in appreciating it. I've been lucky. But most of the critics don't like what the people like. I think they have a very strange job, and they are meant to criticize.
Mel Brooks
