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

Mel Brooks
Not only should we laugh about Hitler. We must laugh about him. Especially in Berlin.
Mel Brooks
My mother is very short - four-eleven. She could walk under tables and never hit her head.
Mel Brooks
Usually when a lot of men get together, it's called a war.

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.
