Hope for the best, expect the worst. Life is a play, we're unrehearsed. - Mel Brooks

Farts are a repressed minority. The mouth gets to say all kinds of things, but the other place is supposed to keep quiet. But maybe our lower colons have something interesting to say. Maybe we should listen to them. Farts are human, more human than a lot of people I know. I think we should bring them out of the water closet and into the parlor, and that’s what I did in Blazing Saddles.

If they [presidents] can't do it to their wives, they do it to their country.

All I can say is that in my case comedy was keeping the joy of a happy childhood going strong.
