Any time Chris Nolan wants to call me for advice, he can.

I always give myself a little part in every movie.
Adam McKay
Image
Most of what's tricky about comedy is the perception of it and the audience's expectation.

All we have is our vote. But it's powerful.

Image
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.

Image
'Blazing Saddles' is one of the funniest movies ever made.
Adam McKay
