[ 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.

And Mel [Brooks] – you have to understand this important point – he had done “The Producers” for $50,000 over two years, and he didn’t make a penny from it. And then he did “The Twelve Chairs” – $50,000 for two more years and didn’t make a penny from it. That’s four years of work. And then they offered him quite a bit of money to direct “Young Frankenstein,” and he took it.

Anyway, when I got out of the Army, I went to see a therapist. And she said, what seems to be the trouble? And I said I want to give all my money away. And she said, how much do you have? And I said, I owe $300. She stared at me for several seconds, and she said, I see. Well, let’s get to work. And maybe by the time you do have some money, you’ll be wise enough to know what to do with it.

At the time, I didn’t know why, but I know now that when I was a little boy, I was scared to death of the Frankenstein films … and in all these years later, I wanted it to come out with a happy ending, and I think it was my fear of the Frankenstein movies when I was 8 and 9 and 10 years old that made me want to write that story [Young Frankenstein].
