Adam McKay
If all else fails, you can always be a pro.

Adam McKay
There's always way less improv than people think. The truth is something like 15 percent.
Adam McKay
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
All you can really do as director is sort of set a tone.
Adam McKay
I think American culture had just become so disengaged from the process of government, and we'd been so fuzzed out by our pop culture around us, that I don't think people really saw this guy for what he was.
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
Most of what's tricky about comedy is the perception of it and the audience's expectation.
Adam McKay
