Mel Brooks is sensual with me. He treats me like an uncle – a dirty uncle. He’s an earthly man and very moral underneath. He has traditional values.

It’s acceptable for men to act the fool. When women try, they’re considered aggressive and opinionated.

[on What’s Up, Doc? (1972)] I was petrified of Barbra Streisand when I did “What’s Up, Doc?”. It was my first movie and every single thing about it was new. I was petrified of the palm trees!
