Mel Brooks

Melvin James Brooks (né Kaminsky, born June 28, 1926) is an American actor, comedian, filmmaker, composer, and songwriter. He was married to Anne Bancroft from 1964 until her death in 2005.

Brooks is best known as a creator of broad film farces and comic parodies. He began his career as a comic and a writer for the early TV variety show Your Show of Shows. He became well known as part of the comedy duo with Carl Reiner in the comedy skit, The 2000 Year Old Man. He also created, with Buck Henry, the hit television comedy series, Get Smart, which ran from 1965 to 1970.

In middle age, he became one of the most successful film directors of the 1970s, with many of his films being among the top 10 money makers of the year they were released. His best-known films include The Producers, The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, History of the World, Part I, Spaceballs, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. A musical adaptation of his first film, The Producers, ran on Broadway from 2001 to 2007.

Famous quotes by Mel Brooks:

"Hope for the best, expect the worst./ Life is a play. We're unrehearsed."

"Look, I really don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive, you got to flap your arms and legs, you got to jump around a lot, you got to make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death. And therefore, as I see it, if you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be noisy, or at least your thoughts should be noisy and colorful and lively."

"Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said"

"I've been accused of vulgarity. I say that's bullshit."

"Humor is just another defense against the universe."

"Every human being has hundreds of separate people living under his skin. The talent of a writer is his ability to give them their separate names, identities, personalities and have them relate to other characters living with him."

"As long as the world is turning and spinning, we're gonna be dizzy and we're gonna make mistakes."

"If presidents can't do it to their wives, they do it to their country"

"If you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be noisy and colorful and lively."

"If God wanted us to fly, He would have given us tickets."

"I only direct in self-defense."

"Life literally abounds in comedy if you just look around you."

Please Don't Touch Me

Elizabeth]
Dream all you want my darling
Of every lustful situation
Those naughty thoughts
Are fine with me
As long as they
Stay locked away
In your imagination
You can hug me til I scream
If it's only in a dream
But please don't touch me
You can feel me til I squeal
Just as long as it's not real
But please don't touch me
You can stick me
You can lick me
You can pinch me til I'm blue
You can bite me
And delight me til I'm blind
You can savage me
And ravage me
I care not what you do
If the lovely filthy things you do
Are only in your mind
You can spank me til I'm red
If it's only in your head
But please don't touch me
You can have me don't you see
If it's just a fantasy
But please don't touch me
[spoken]
Oh Freddie, darling, I know that you're a virgin.
[Frederick Frankenstein]
Yes, for me, science has always come first.
[Elizabeth]
And as every guy in New York knows - I come first too.
After our wedding
You'll be oh so glad we waited
Until then
Take cold showers when you're overstimulated
Anticipation is sublime
And although you might think I'm
A tease
Please don't touch me
[Female pedestrian]
Oh everybody look! How unique. They're not touching.
[Male pedestrian]
It must be "Please Don't Touch Me,"
the new dance craze that's sweeping catholic girl
schools all over the midwest.
[Female pedestrian]
Oh what fun! Let's try it.
[Chorus]
Please don't
Please don't
Please don't touch me
[Elizabeth]
Do not hug us
Do not drug us
Do not slug us til we cry
Do not throb us
Do not rob us of our wits
[Male chorus]
We won't poke you
We won't stroke you
Til we're just about to die
[Elizabeth]
But even in your wildest dreams
Don't dare to touch our tits
Don't dare to touch our tits
[Female chorus]
Don't dare to touch our tits
Don't touch our tits
Don't touch our tits
Don't touch our
[Elizabeth]
Tits, tits, tits, tits
Tits, tits, tits, tits
Tits!
Our tits!
When we're absolutely wed
You can do it til we're dead
[Frederick Frankenstein]
Elizabeth!
[Chorus]
Til then please, please, please
We're down on our knees
[Elizabeth]
Please keep your hands off these
[Chorus & Elizabeth]
Please don't touch me
[Chorus]
We won't touch you
[Elizabeth]
Please don't touch me
[Chorus]
We won't touch you
[Chorus & Elizabeth]
She's so touchy
[Elizabeth]
