When [Mel Brooks] told his Jewish mother he was marrying an Italian girl, she said: "Bring her over. I`ll be in the kitchen - with my head in the oven".
Anne Bancroft
I thought it was a powerful piece of filmmaking. I`m a practicing Catholic, and you know I think Mel and I may be from different wings of the Catholic Church. My film might have been called `The Compassion of the Christ.` - On The Passion of the Christ (2...

On backing Mel Gibson after his 2006 anti-Semitic comments to a cop while drunk: Is he an anti-Semite? Absolutely not. But, it`s no secret that he has always fought a terrible battle with alcoholism. [Mel] was a shining example of how low you can go when ...

Jodie Foster
[on Mel Brooks] We are not interested in polite titters, we want the audience rolling on the floor and falling about. Mel works on his feet -- it`s a hit and miss, hit and miss, hit and miss. Then in the editing he will take out the misses!

On her film Dawn of the Dead (2004) going up against Mel Gibson`s The Passion of the Christ (2004) head-to-head at the box office: "They`ve got only one guy who comes back from the dead. We`ve got millions".
Sarah Polley
Discussing possible casting choices Mel Gibson and Nicolas Cage for Three Kings (1999) before he had signed to the movie: "Luckily, both those guys were tied and gagged in my apartment, and that was a problem for the casting department."
George Clooney
[on Mel Gibson] Mel is the new Australian. He is going to be a very good star. He is quite different from the Australian everyone knows -- the kind Rod Taylor represents.

Peter Weir
Schwarzenegger is my role model since he is successful but, as an actor, he is not [my role model]. I prefer Sean Connery, Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford. They too started as `beef cakes` but have since established themselves as acknowledged actors.
Dolph Lundgren
I could have taken a bigger role in a smaller movie, but for me it`s never about the size of the role. I figured I could really learn something. - On being cast in We Were Soldiers (2002) opposite Mel Gibson.
Desmond Harrington
You know, acting is tough, I know. And all actors who want to keep making it as they get older usually start producing. Even Mel Gibson. Come on, it`s a tough field. January 13, 2003
Patrick Kilpatrick
On the fact that he is mostly known as his "The Prisoner" (1967) character, Number Six: "Mel [Gibson] will always be Mad Max, and me, I will always be a Number."
Patrick McGoohan
No, in Lethal Weapon I was a taxi cab driver that Mel jumps in front of the taxi and pulls me out of the car and steals the taxi. Then I did some other indie driving for some of the car sequences.
David Ellis
Mel was wonderful for our pitching staff. He worked very well with the veterans as well as the young guys, which was really big for us, especially with what we went through early. We could have been down in the dumps, but we could count on Mel and [manage...

Mel is a great director because he`s not just a director, he`s an actor, so he knows how to direct actors. I loved working with him. He`s great as a director. He`s so intelligent. He`s generous. I really loved him.
Monica Bellucci
It really was a good day`s work because by taking a 13-12 interval lead Stew/Mel forced us to dig deep which was much better than a runaway win from the off and something we can now benefit from going into Saturday`s home clash with Melrose,
Barbara Hvasta
I would dearly love to hook-up with Mel C again. We`ve spoken about it and she`s really keen on the idea too. The Spice Girls were massive in America, but it would be nice for Mel to have a hit of her own there. Maybe this will be the one.
