More quotes by Adam McKay
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
All we have is our vote. But it's powerful.
Adam McKay
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.
Adam McKay
The crush of lobbyists on Washington and purchase of the media by corporations has created a big business-run government and a worthless press leaving Americans screwed and ill-informed.
Adam McKay
It's just funny that Americans have to contend with 2000 channels, and 60 different specific news sources, and the confusion that it creates, and the junk that we get to see is hilarious.
Adam McKay
I could see how people get addicted to animation, and I understand why it's so great for comedy. You can do whatever you want and it just happens.
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
As for movies, what's great about comedy is that if your movie gets laughs and makes money, you have freedom.
Adam McKay
Every time a congressman or pundit says its 'class warfare' to increase taxes on the wealthy, it's a massive lie.
Adam McKay
'Blazing Saddles' is one of the funniest movies ever made.
Adam McKay
There's nothing the people love more than a Federal Reserve joke.
Adam McKay
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
David O. Russell is probably my favorite filmmaker. He's not only a great director, but he's also a great writer.
Adam McKay
Normally when it hits two and a half, three hours, the audience gets exhausted and start yawning.
Adam McKay
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
White-collar crime has been marketed - billions of dollars have been put in to have us be bored by it.
Adam McKay
The easiest time to be funny is during a fairly serious situation. That way you can break the ice.
Adam McKay
As far as how much you listen to the audience, you listen to them when they really hate something.
Adam McKay
We get so much information during the day that doesn't really tell us anything.
Adam McKay
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.
