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

Nothing is funnier than confidently doing the wrong thing.

Normally when it hits two and a half, three hours, the audience gets exhausted and start yawning.

The idea of 24-hour news, if you really step back, is pretty insane. Just even saying '24-hour news' almost has satire laced in it.

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

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.

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.
