“Firewall” seems both scary and protective at the same time. And how often does that happen within one word besides “military” and “government?”
Adam McKay
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.
Adam McKay
Image
I have certain beliefs about how people should treat employees and how companies should be run, but I was really surprised though this process to learn that those beliefs are actually good business.

Image
Can anything good come of a backward way of thinking like judging someone based on skin color? No way.

As for movies, what's great about comedy is that if your movie gets laughs and makes money, you have freedom.

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.

We get so much information during the day that doesn't really tell us anything.

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

Hollywood has to appeal to the broadest audience, and when it comes to most social and economic issues, America is progressive. Because of that, the messages that are in Hollywood movies tend to be, for instance, pro-environment.

Image
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.
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
I'm just a giant film fan, so I love action movies out of all kinds of movies. As a film geek, it's amazing to be able to shoot this stuff.
Adam McKay
Image
Old man with an old phone. That's never not funny.
Adam McKay
Image
You could feel America starting to ease up a little bit on racism, against blacks in certain pockets, and then suddenly The Cosby Show bubbled up and it was the right time for it.
Adam McKay
Image
I got the sense that Alabama is a place where people don't want handouts and don't much care for people talking out of the side of their mouth.
Adam McKay
Image
The easiest time to be funny is during a fairly serious situation. That way you can break the ice.
Adam McKay
Image
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
Image
Celebrities and 'famous' people are just regular folks. I know, it's a shocking and potentially dangerous statement.
Adam McKay
Image
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.

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