More quotes by 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
Ill just say whats in my heart: Ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump.
Mel Brooks
Never retire! Do what you do and keep doing it. But don't do it on Friday. Take Friday off. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, go fishing...Then Monday to Thursday, do what you've been doing all your life. My point is: Live full and don't retreat.
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
If you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be noisy and colorful and lively.
Mel Brooks

Mel Brooks
I don't have a mission. I don't have a torch to burn.
Mel Brooks
It would be hypocritical of me to take issue with anything in questionable taste, seeing that I invented bad taste in films.
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
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
There's an army story in me, and I think there's a WWII Brooks film somewhere.
Mel Brooks
My liveliness is based on an incredible fear of death. In order to keep death at bay, I do a lot of Yah! Yah! Yah! And death says, All right. He's too noisy and busy. I'll wait for someone who's sitting quietly, half asleep.
Mel Brooks
Good taste is the enemy of comedy.
Mel Brooks
He who hesitates is poor.
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
