More quotes by Adam McKay
Normally when it hits two and a half, three hours, the audience gets exhausted and start yawning.
Adam McKay
In general, the final filter of Hollywood is for-profit. Nothing goes through unless it can make money.
Adam McKay
Obamacare is a private mandate that will drive billions to the insurance industry, much like the auto insurance mandate. Hardly socialism. In fact, it was a Republican plan to begin with.
Adam McKay
I'm not against banking. Banking allowed our modern society to happen, it is essential. It connects the work through finance, so banking is good.
Adam McKay
There's nothing the people love more than a Federal Reserve joke.
Adam McKay
The crush of lobbyists on Washington and purchase of the media by corporations has created a big business-run government and a worthless press leaving Americans screwed and ill-informed.
Adam McKay
Animals talking are very rarely funny. But animals behaving as animals - always funny.
Adam McKay
We punch mirrors and we explore our darker selves. No, it's just an amalgam of all newscasters that we grew up with. Sort of like before there was cable, when these people were like gods.
Adam McKay
The only way that Hollywood ever skews toward liberal is because part of what we make out of Hollywood involves writers, actors, directors, musicians, set designers, and photographers. In general, people like that are going to be more progressive, more open minded, a little more altruistic.
Adam McKay
The idea of 24-hour news, if you really step back, is pretty insane. Just even saying '24-hour news' almost has satire laced in it.
Adam McKay
I could see how people get addicted to animation, and I understand why it's so great for comedy. You can do whatever you want and it just happens.
Adam McKay
The easiest time to be funny is during a fairly serious situation. That way, you can break the ice. It's crazy, but even at funerals, people will get huge laughs.
Adam McKay
Hollywood has to appeal to the broadest audience, and when it comes to most social and economic issues, America is progressive. Because of that, the messages that are in Hollywood movies tend to be, for instance, pro-environment.
Adam McKay
As far as how much you listen to the audience, you listen to them when they really hate something.
Adam McKay
Everyone is sort of in their own little area counting lines and no one talks when film's not rolling. There's constantly actors coming to me back behind the monitor screaming at me, Why did my line count drop? It's a nasty tense environment.
Adam McKay
Any time Chris Nolan wants to call me for advice, he can.
Adam McKay
If all else fails, you can always be a pro.
Adam McKay
Every time I wrote a sketch that was in my voice, Ferrell would just do it better.
Adam McKay
Hollywood is for-profit, is what Hollywood is. All the studios are owned by big, megacorporations that are the furthest thing from liberal you can possibly imagine.
Adam McKay
I have certain beliefs about how people should treat employees and how companies should be run, but I was really surprised though this process to learn that those beliefs are actually good business.
