I've been accused of vulgarity. I say that's bullshit.
Mel Brooks
You're always a little disappointing in person because you can't be the edited essence of yourself.
Mel Brooks
Coleman Jacoby and Arnie Rosen won an Emmy and Mel Brooks didn't! Niezsche was right! There is no God! There is no God!
Mel Brooks
Good taste is the enemy of comedy.

Mel Brooks
I don't have a mission. I don't have a torch to burn.
Mel Brooks
Immortality is a by-product of good work.
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
If Ivan the Terrible had been kissed and loved between zero and three, he probably would have become Ivan Not So Terrible. If you're Jewish, you have a small smile on your face. Because you know the rest are wrong and you don't want to hurt their feelings.
Mel Brooks
Cat angels are the reason there are no mice angels.
Mel Brooks
If God wanted us to fly, He would have given us tickets.
Mel Brooks
We rest our case on the production numbers.
Mel Brooks
I only direct in self-defense.
Mel Brooks
Usually when a lot of men get together, it's called a war.
