More quotes by Adam McKay
If you make action movies, the critics will savage you, and then your movies are outdated the following week with the new wave of special effects.
Adam McKay
The way you really stop Al-Qaeda is by stopping their funding. It's not by carpet-bombing or land invasions or anything.
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
In general foreign invested companies who come to America to start a company, to open a manufacturing business or whatnot, they actually provide much higher wages than American companies.
Adam McKay
The one thing for sure is, I don't ever want to waste a movie. I don't ever want to waste effort.
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
It's just funny that Americans have to contend with 2000 channels, and 60 different specific news sources, and the confusion that it creates, and the junk that we get to see is hilarious.
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
Can anything good come of a backward way of thinking like judging someone based on skin color? No way.
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
There are many aspects to directing that have a romantic place in people's minds.
Adam McKay
For my money, I don't think there's been a better comedy than 'Kung Fu Hustle' in a lot of years. That movie just knocked me over.
Adam McKay
Most of what's tricky about comedy is the perception of it and the audience's expectation.
Adam McKay
David O. Russell is probably my favorite filmmaker. He's not only a great director, but he's also a great writer.
Adam McKay
I gotta say - if I clicked on a movie interview, and the first part was all about Walt Whitman, I'd love that article.
Adam McKay
There's always way less improv than people think. The truth is something like 15 percent.
Adam McKay
I think what's dangerous [about comedy] is that you're coming into the room announcing your intentions.
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
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
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.
