More quotes by Mel Brooks
Good taste is the enemy of comedy.
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
We rest our case on the production numbers.
Mel Brooks
He who hesitates is poor.
Mel Brooks
Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love.
Mel Brooks
Ill just say whats in my heart: Ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump.
Mel Brooks
You're always a little disappointing in person because you can't be the edited essence of yourself.
Mel Brooks
Critics can't even make music by rubbing their back legs together.
Mel Brooks
Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.
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
Woody Allen is a genius. His films are wonderful. He's poetic, but he's also a critic. He artfully steps back from a social setting and criticizes it without - I suspect - without letting himself be vulnerable to it.
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
If you stand on a soapbox and trade rhetoric with a dictator you never win.
Mel Brooks
The thing is to be brave and move the audience with you, instead of cater to the lowest common denominator, you know, slipping on a banana peel and falling on your ass. You got to move the audience a little further ahead in terms of their appreciation of what is comedy. It's complicated.
Mel Brooks
Hope for the Best. Expect the worst. Life is a play. We're unrehearsed.
Mel Brooks
Basically, I'm a writer. I'm the proprietor of the vision. I alone know what I eventually want to happen on the screen. So if you have a valuable idea, the only way to protect it is to direct it.
Mel Brooks
If God wanted us to fly, He would have given us tickets.
Mel Brooks
Judd Apatow is pretty good, both as a producer and as a director.
Mel Brooks
If presidents can't do it to their wives, they do it to their country.
Mel Brooks
I like people with big talents and small neuroses - not always an easy combination to find. I've discovered that if the neurosis is too big, it diminishes the talent and you wind up working too hard for what you get.
