Famous quotes by Mel Brooks:

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

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

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

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

"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."

"Humor is just another defense against the universe."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"But I have bad taste with a deep fount of intellectuality."

"Anybody can direct, but there are only eleven good writers."

"Dom DeLuise was a big man in every way. He was big in size and created big laughter and joy."

"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."

"If you stand on a soapbox and trade rhetoric with a dictator you never win."

"If Shaw and Einstein couldn't beat death, what chance have I got? Practically none."

"I'll accept bad taste in a minute, as long as there's some great comedy minds and performances."

"A cinema villain essentially needs a moustache so he can twiddle with it gleefully as he cooks up his next nasty plan."

"We want to get people laughing; we don't want to offend anybody."
