[on Mel Brooks]: A loud kind of Jewish genius - maybe that's as close as you can get to defining him. Woody (Woody Allen) makes a movie as if he were lighting 10,000 safety matches to illuminate a city. Each one is a little epiphany: topical, ethnic or political. [on the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie, telling Daily Telegraph]: It's all about money. It's just some people sitting around thinking "How can we make some more money?" Why else would you remake Willy Wonka? (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory) And that's not an easy task, being in bed with a sheep, especially if you make the sheep nervous. I'm not going to go on, if you know what I'm talking about. I'm not so funny. Gilda (Gilda Radner) was funny. I'm funny on camera sometimes. In life, once in a while. Once in a while. But she was funny. She spent more time worrying about being liked than anything else.
