Mel Brooks
American actor, director, and screenwriter.
I was in the middle of shooting the last few weeks of Blazing Saddles somewhere in the Antelope Valley, and Gene Wilder and I were having a cup of coffee and he said, I have this idea that there could be another "Frankenstein." I said not another — we've had the son of, the cousin of, the brother-in-law, we don't need another Frankenstein. His idea was very simple: What if the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein wanted nothing to do with the family whatsoever. He was ashamed of those wackos. I said, "That's funny."
[on ancient poetry] Nog Nog! Mkellen bebog! V'luch Matuch Maluch M'tog!
Robin Hood: Because unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with a English accent.
Dr. Frankenstein Damn your eyes!
Igor (pointing at his lazy eye) Too late!
It's Wheird, there's an H in there. Gotta hit that H otherwise they think I'm some sort of a kook!
He understands not only with his brain but with his heart. And that might be called love. Not quite sure, but maybe that's the key.
Robin Hood: Watch my back!
Achoo: Yo' back just got punched twice.
[on the greatest invention] Liquid Prell.
Mel is sensual with me. He treats me like an uncle — a dirty uncle. He's an earthy man and very moral underneath. He has traditional values.
Igor:: Sed-a...
Inga:: Sed-a...
Igor:: Dirty word! He said a dirty word!
Dark Helmet : What? You went over my helmet?
Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.
Dark Helmet: What's the matter Colonel Sandurz... chicken?!
Moses : God has given us these fifteen— (after dropping one of the tablets) Oy! Ten — ten commandments!
Lead Tenor Stormtrooper: Springtime, for Hitler, and Germany
Winter, for Poland and France!
