"I never used to believe in fate. I used to think you make your own life, and then you call it fate."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"I didn't want to be a comedian. I wanted to be an actor - maybe a comic actor, but a real actor - by real, I mean not a comedian. I wanted to be an actor."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple"
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"When I'm not working on something, I seem to go through periods of depression. It helps to keep busy."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"Pride is not the worst of sins. In fact, it's one of the most interesting ones."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"I'm not a natural writer like, let's say - I'm not talking about Arthur Miller; that's a whole other thing - but let's say Woody Allen. But the more I've written, the more I've found that there is a deep well in me somewhere that wants to express things that I'm not going to find unless I write them myself."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"If my mother hadn't laughed at the funny things I did, I probably wouldn't be a comic actor. After she had her first heart attack, the doctor said, 'Try to make her laugh.' And that was the first time I tried to make anyone laugh."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"What do actors really want? To be great actors? Yes, but you can't buy talent, so it's best to leave the word 'great' out of it. I think to be believed, onstage or onscreen, is the one hope that all actors share."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"The thing I love about making movies is the peace of mind that I know I don't have to be perfect the first time. I can be perfect the second time or the third time."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"I feel very Jewish, and I feel very grateful to be Jewish. But I don't believe in God or anything to do with the Jewish religion."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"When I was in desperate trouble for maybe eight or nine years, I went to a neuropsychiatrist."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"What good is a character who's always winking at the audience to let them in on the secret?"
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"We all grew up on movies with scenes where the actor is lying, and you know he's lying, but he wants to make sure you know it's a lie, and so he overacts and all but winks at you, and everybody in the world except for the girl he's talking to knows he's lying."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"I worked two days in Texas and two days in Hollywood on 'Bonnie and Clyde,' and that was it. I had no idea how it was going to turn out. And when I saw it, I was so upset, or fascinated, or something, by the sight of myself on the screen that I could hardly pay attention to the rest of the movie."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"Mel Brooks is one of the few authentic geniuses working in comedy in America today."
Quote by -Gene Wilder
"If something comes along that's really good, and I think I would be good for it, I'd be happy to do it. But not too many came along. I mean, they came along for the first, I don't know, 15, 18 films, but I didn't do that many. But then I didn't want to do the kind of junk I was seeing."
