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.

You have to be able to fail with the improv. You have to not care.
Adam McKay
Image
I don't think there's ever been a moment in history where that, as an artistic message, has played very well, because people in their hearts know that's terrible and a lie.

Benito Mussolini created the word 'fascism.' He defined it as 'the merging of the state and the corporation.' He also said a more accurate word would be 'corporatism.' This was the definition in Webster's up until 1987 when a corporation bought Webster's and changed it to exclude any mention of corporations.

Can anything good come of a backward way of thinking like judging someone based on skin color? No way.
Adam McKay
Image
In general, the final filter of Hollywood is for-profit. Nothing goes through unless it can make money.
Adam McKay
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.
Adam McKay
Image
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
Image
I always give myself a little part in every movie.
Adam McKay
Image
Every time a congressman or pundit says its 'class warfare' to increase taxes on the wealthy, it's a massive lie.
Adam McKay
Image
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.

I think what's dangerous [about comedy] is that you're coming into the room announcing your intentions.
