Too Much
Idea
A lot of shorts spend too much time setting up the idea; sometimes they meander.
- Adam McKay
Accurate
Mention
Would
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.
- Adam McKay
Country
Nation
Identify
America is a country that prides itself on being able to identify a 'straight shooter' or 'the genuine article' when it comes to our leaders. As a nation, we can 'feel it in our gut' when someone is giving us a bum steer.
- Adam McKay
Guns
Religious
Other
George W. Bush was a silver spoon dolt with no record to speak of other than bankruptcy and selling tropical plants, and we let him sail into the White House, but Barack talks about religious fundamentalism and guns being prevalent in poor areas, and we roast him for weeks?
- Adam McKay

Big
Screwed

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
Moment
Show
Had
I guess HBO did a giant 'War in the Pacific' mini-series that cost, like, a fortune, and there was a little moment where they literally had no money. And even though the show had become kind of a cult hit, there was an issue of whether they could actually afford to do it.
- Adam McKay

Burning
I'm sure when they partied when Rome was burning, that was a really great party.
- Adam McKay
Luck
Doing
Studio
Friends give me a hard time about the pants I'm wearing, which are made in China. Well, how do you find the right clothes? Or the right movie studio? The right people giving you checks? Good luck doing the right thing all the time.
- Adam McKay
Film
Big
Suspend
You can't really do a big character in an action film; you're already suspending your disbelief in the action, then to suspend your disbelief in the character is too much.
- Adam McKay
Think
Over
Been
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
Next
Will
Personal Trainer
I hired a personal trainer to help me lose 25 pounds and get from obese to fat. My next step will be to get from fat to chubby.

Great
Director
Also
David O. Russell is probably my favorite filmmaker. He's not only a great director, but he's also a great writer.

Political
Dollars
Instance
I have no political ax to grind; I just find it absurd that huge billion-dollar corporations can take over elections. I just find it insane that, for instance, we give tax breaks to people like myself making millions of dollars, while there're no tax breaks for working people. That, to me, is not a political issue, that's a life issue.
- Adam McKay
Need
More
Larger
With the derivatives market larger than ever, we need way more regulation of Wall Street, not less.
- Adam McKay
New
Deal
Been
Since FDR's New Deal, corporations and wealthy families have been non-stop finding new ways to get tax breaks, deregulation and entitlements from the government.
- Adam McKay
Star
Parking
Over
My first joke was about a company called Five Star Parking that was all over Philadelphia: 'Who's reviewing parking lots?'
- Adam McKay
Dumb
Sophisticated
Assault
I don't want to speak for my movies; you could say my movies are just completely silly and dumb, but in the case of 'Idiocracy' and 'Borat,' without a doubt there is a really subversive and sophisticated assault on American culture.
