Some Mel Brooks Quotes

I have always enjoyed this quote by Mel Brooks:

“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.”


And just recently I decided that Mel must be pretty cool, because I found a bunch of quotes from him and they are all really good. I'm just going to post them.
“Humor is just another defense against the universe.”
“I've been accused of vulgarity. I say that's bullshit.”
“Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.”
“Humor keeps the elderly rolling along, singing a song. When you laugh, it’s an involuntary explosion of the lungs. The lungs need to replenish themselves with oxygen. So you laugh, you breathe, the blood runs, and everything is circulating. If you don’t laugh, you’ll die.”

So I just decided that I need to watch more of his movies. I still haven't seen The Producers! Fer cry'n out loud!
