Tragedy Is When I Cut My Finger.

I Also Try To Surround Myself With People I Love - Make A Family Out Of The Company. So I Tend To Use The Same People Over And Over. There's A Sort Of Mel Brooks Repertory Company.

The Audience. They See The Name Mel Brooks, They Want Something Really Funny. They Don't Want To Be Moved; They Don't Want To Be Taught Any Lessons. [...] I Get More Letters For twelve Chairs and life Stinks Than I Get From Any Other Movies, Because People Actually Agree With The Philosophy, Or Were Moved, Or They Love The Movie.

An Egg Cream Can Do Anything. An Egg Cream To A Brooklyn Jew Is Like Water To An Arab. A Jew Will Kill For An Egg Cream. It's The Jewish Malmsey.

I Don't Think In Terms Of Results At All. I Think: What Next Insanity Can I Shock The World With?

That's It Baby, If You've Got It, Flaunt It.
