More From Mel Brooks
- "Humor is just another defense against the universe."
- "Look, I don’t want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you’re alive you’ve got to flap your arms and legs, you’ve got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you’re not alive."
- "Well, just being stupid and politically incorrect doesn’t work. You can be politically incorrect if you’re smart."
