More quotes by Mel Brooks
I'll accept bad taste in a minute, as long as there's some great comedy minds and performances.
Mel Brooks
Good taste is the enemy of comedy.
Mel Brooks
Critics can't even make music by rubbing their back legs together.
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
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
I was out in the combat engineers. We would throw up bridges in advance of the infantry but mainly we would just throw up.
Mel Brooks
We rest our case on the production numbers.
Mel Brooks
Not only should we laugh about Hitler. We must laugh about him. Especially in Berlin.
Mel Brooks
I only direct in self-defense.
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 you stand on a soapbox and trade rhetoric with a dictator you never win.
Mel Brooks
I was a soldier in WWII. The last couple of months of the war I was actually in combat.
Mel Brooks
Humor keeps the elderly rolling along, singing a song. When you laugh, its an involuntary explosion of the lungs. The lungs need to replenish themselves with oxygen. So you laugh, you breathe, the blood runs, and everything is circulating. If you dont laugh, youll die.
Mel Brooks
My favorite expression is: When you go up to the bell, ring it ? or don't go up to the bell.
Mel Brooks
I don't have a mission. I don't have a torch to burn.
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
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
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
