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

We lost our minds in the '80s and '90s; we really as a society just felt that everyone could only care about themselves. There was no responsibility to discuss what's going on in your town, your state, your nation. And it was a blast, it was really fun, but it doesn't work.

There are many aspects to directing that have a romantic place in people's minds.

If you make action movies, the critics will savage you, and then your movies are outdated the following week with the new wave of special effects.

You think of movies like 'Midnight Run' and '48 Hours', those are great movies, especially 'Midnight Run.'
