More quotes by Mel Brooks
Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love.
Mel Brooks
If you're alive, make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death.
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 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
There's an army story in me, and I think there's a WWII Brooks film somewhere.
Mel Brooks
These men both publicly and privately have done so much for me. Without Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick I would be living in a little motel just around the corner here, trying to make ends meet.
Mel Brooks
I don't believe in this business of being behind, better to be in front.
Mel Brooks
If God wanted us to fly, He would have given us tickets.
Mel Brooks
I was a soldier in WWII. The last couple of months of the war I was actually in combat.
Mel Brooks
I make people laugh for a living. I believe I can say objectively that what I do I do as well as anybody. Just say I'm one of the best broken field runners that ever lived. For 35 years I was a cult hero, an underground funny.
Mel Brooks
As long as the world is turning and spinning, we're gonna be dizzy and we're gonna make mistakes.
Mel Brooks
Directing is a terrible, anxious process. It's all collaboration, and if you have a dream, it's diluted very quickly by the slightest ineptness in any of your collaborators. They're supposed to help you, but too often they help you into your grave.
Mel Brooks
Every human being has hundreds of separate people living under his skin.
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
We rest our case on the production numbers.
Mel Brooks
Hope for the Best. Expect the worst. Life is a play. We're unrehearsed.
Mel Brooks
But I have bad taste with a deep fount of intellectuality.
Mel Brooks
Being brave is being scared and worried and still doing it [what you do]. Because if you're just a wacko, a mashugana, a crazy guy, then you're not brave, your nuts!
Mel Brooks
Immortality is a by-product of good work.
Mel Brooks
Judd Apatow is pretty good, both as a producer and as a director.
