You need the audience to go on the ride with you. You can't just isolate them.
Quote by -Adam McKay
The key is a good story. If you have a good story, you have enough emotional beats that you can hit.
Quote by -Adam McKay
I'm a huge hip hop fan going way back, like, back to '83. I had my Gemini mixer listening to Run-DMC and Kurtis Blow.
Quote by -Adam McKay
I gotta say - if I clicked on a movie interview, and the first part was all about Walt Whitman, I'd love that article.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Adam McKay
For some reason, people with comedy, any time they can detect a pattern, it kind of freaks them out. 'Those guys are always together!' Yeah, they're a comedy team. Anything they can recognize as a pattern they think is a hole.
Quote by -Adam McKay
I always thought George Bush was more oblivious than mean, but oblivious can quickly go to mean.
Quote by -Adam McKay
If you aim for parody right off the bat and it misses, no offense to the filmmakers, but it is Meet the Spartans.
Quote by -Adam McKay
I think there's a tendency to think geeks and nerds are just sweet guys that were picked on, but that hasn't been my experience. I'm certainly not like that, in a lot of ways.
Quote by -Adam McKay
You think of movies like 'Midnight Run' and '48 Hours', those are great movies, especially 'Midnight Run.'
Quote by -Adam McKay
In the past, in the '60s and '70s, genres were much more segmented. You had action guys who were deadly serious about it, and I think you had comics that were comics.
Quote by -Adam McKay
Nowadays, the truth is, I think a lot of the newer generation of action stars usually are pretty self-deprecating and cool. I mean, Dwayne Johnson is a great example.
Quote by -Adam McKay
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.
Quote by -Adam McKay
I am actually talking about possibly adapting 'The Boys,' by Garth Ennis, which would not be a comedy, but an action movie with comedy elements to it.
Quote by -Adam McKay
Things I used to get in trouble for writing at 'SNL,' suddenly other people like it.
Quote by -Adam McKay
We, Will Ferrell and I, were approached by Sequoia, which is a big financing firm up in Palo Alto; they do a lot of Internet stuff, and they came to us and said they had an idea for a comedy site, and Will and I were sorta like, 'Yeah, we don't know. It's the Internet, we've seen it come and go.'
Quote by -Adam McKay
A lot of shorts spend too much time setting up the idea; sometimes they meander.
Quote by -Adam McKay
As far as what makes a viral video, then it's gotta be something that you've either never seen before, a fresh piece of comedy, or something that relates to something topical.
Quote by -Adam McKay
I hired Tina Fey for 'SNL,' which was certainly a good match. She took off right away there.
Quote by -Adam McKay
I was completely with the reality TV boom for a while. I really liked a lot of the reality TV, and the one that lost me was the ballroom dancing one they do, 'Dancing with the Stars.' That was the one where I watched it and I was perplexed. I thought it was really boring.
Quote by -Adam McKay
'The Real World' is the most predictable arc ever. They get on the show, they're all excited, we're gonna be best friends, then people start drinking and get hammered, and say stupid stuff, and that's pretty much it.
Quote by -Adam McKay
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.
Quote by -Adam McKay
The stuff that's going on is just so over-the-top, with the banking crisis and destroying the Gulf of Mexico, and the outrage hasn't quite caught up with the people yet. But when it does, I think you're going to see really virulent anti-authoritarian kind of comedy coming out.
Quote by -Adam McKay
I've always loved science, but I was never going to make much of a contribution. I'm better off having science as a hobby.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I got my first Mac in 1984. I've got an Airbook, iPad, iPhone, the lot. I love that blend of technology, creativity, and design.
Quote by -Ben Miller
On 'Death In Paradise,' I had a CGI pet lizard and had to react to nothing, which was hideously embarrassing.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I was an early adopter of everything from Myspace to Twitter, and I think they're just fads, like CB radio.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I'm very lucky, I had a very amicable separation and very amicable divorce, but it was still horrendous.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I want to get across that science is something that we all have ownership of and we can all take an interest in. We don't all have to understand complex theories, but we should have a working knowledge, like knowing your way round the engine of your car.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Science is a hobby, and I'm really into it, but it's not my job. My job is to learn about comedy and to make people laugh. Science, for me, is probably a bit like Danny Baker's love of football or Rod Stewart's obsession with train sets.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I'd like to see the argument made for greater worldwide federalism, not just the European Union.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Everyone was doing alternative comedy. I thought I'd distinguish myself by just telling jokes, with differing degrees of success.
Quote by -Ben Miller
The first-ever job I had was in a play, 'Trench Kiss,' with Caroline Quentin and Arthur Smith.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I'm writing a science book - a sort of compendium of all the ways I've found of explaining things to my artsy friends over the years.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I'm a huge fan of French comedy. The French play comedy in a slightly different way than we do: they play it with a sort of realism that we don't necessarily often do ourselves.
