I want to be an actor, maybe a comic actor but a real actor.

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.This was said by gene wilder ... what does it mean ?

What did you expect? 'Welcome, sonny?' 'Make yourself at home?' 'Marry my daughter?' You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know . . . morons.

Gene Wilder characters wanted to be calm, but to the great delight of audiences, they rarely succeeded.

[ Zero Mostel] would tell anyone anything, not to be impolite, but he'd show that he wasn't at all afraid of however much money that person [had] or whatever title they had in a company. It didn't scare him. Mel [Brooks] was very much the same way.

I met [Gilda Radner] on the first night of filming ... Hanky Panky that Sidney Poitier was directing. And it's funny, I was in costume and makeup - my tuxedo and makeup because I'd done a few shots before she arrived, and she told me later that she cried all the way in, in the car, because she knew that she was going to fall in love with me and want to get married.

When your mother gives you confidence about anything that you do, you carry that confidence with you.She made me believe that I could make someone laugh.
