There's a lot of things you can't control. But you can always be a pro.

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.

Image
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.

White-collar crime has been marketed - billions of dollars have been put in to have us be bored by it.

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.

Image
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.

Image
Normally when it hits two and a half, three hours, the audience gets exhausted and start yawning.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
Old man with an old phone. That's never not funny.
Adam McKay
Image
It so happens that America, according to all the polls that are out there, is pretty progressive. So you're not going to see messages that support Ayn Randian individualism at the cost of the whole, because most people don't agree with that.
Adam McKay
Image
There are so many shoot-'em-up, action, jingoistic TV shows and movies that are made every year. I think the final line is that Hollywood is populist.
Adam McKay
Image
There's always way less improv than people think. The truth is something like 15 percent.
Adam McKay
Image
I think that the job of art and culture is to jump on that time and realize that it's there and to push it just a little bit faster.

Animals talking are very rarely funny. But animals behaving as animals - always funny.
