David Zucker Quotes

I would love to work with Adam Sandler. Because then all I’d have to do is just turn the camera on and off Picture Quote #1

I’ve always thought those guys are really funny. And I love Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin and Mary Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, if you really want to try something original, you step a little too far out of bounds. I mean, there’s a market force that kind of unconsciously keeps you in line a little bit Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if I’d want to do that anymore, because you always get bigger laughs on college campuses. So, when the film plays in front of a city audience, you’ve probably cut too loosely Picture Quote #1

Chevy Chase and Bill Murray - we thought those guys were funny. We love Bill Murray, but we didn’t think they were right for Airplane! because it would step on the joke if there was a known comedian Picture Quote #1

Our fathers were actually business partners in the same real-estate firm, and we got together and thought, How can we get a movie together and get distribution and create a new movie genre? We started by making satires of commercials Picture Quote #1

So, it didn’t do well. But now when I talk to kids who are first seeing it, they’re surprised to hear the movie failed at the box office. Sometimes that’s what happens Picture Quote #1

We didn’t realize it at the time, but the release date, the ad campaign and the poster are so important Picture Quote #1

You know, oJ was a really nice guy, and he knew his lines. He was nice to everybody on the set. He got to be a better actor, I thought, with every movie Picture Quote #1

Woody allen has done some excellent serious movies, too, like Crimes and Misdemeanors. Very overlooked movie, I think, and really his best. And currently I like Big Fish! Picture Quote #1

Tim Burton is underrated. I loved Big Fish, loved that movie, think it’s the best movie of the year, hands down. Really impressed with that Picture Quote #1

There would always be a vote. There were always conflicts and arguments for years and years - that’s why we’re not together anymore. But there was always a vote. It was always two out of three Picture Quote #1

The only one that got through was Jimmy Walker, because he plays the gas station attendant. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just that we were kind of purists at the time, and we didn’t want any comedians Picture Quote #1

Oh yeah, I believe in God. I think there’s much more evidence that there is a God than that there isn’t. I don’t believe that Mother theresa and Hitler go to the same place Picture Quote #1

It didn’t happen every time for every movie. Ruthless People was a good movie, but we didn’t get a good release or marketing. They completely blew the opening Picture Quote #1

I think we grew up thinking that the funniest things on TV were the old, serious movies. I always liked the Marx Brothers, but the thing that always made us laugh were movies like Zero Hour. That’s what inspired us Picture Quote #1

I lose tons of stuff on the cutting room floor. For Scary Movie 3, for example, we had a lot of Matrix spoofs, a Hulk scene, and some of that stuff just doesn’t hold up - it’s too much plot, audiences just didn’t want to hear about it Picture Quote #1

I believe in justice, maybe not in this life, but there has to be justice. and if there isn’t a God, I think it would be very depressing. I’d prefer to believe there is Picture Quote #1

Everything about it worked, and I don’t mean just the movie, but in our experience, we realized there’s also a component of luck involved in this business. We had absolutely the most competent people in the studio working on the release and ad campaign Picture Quote #1

It’s useless to try and make rhyme or reason of it, because one guy thinks one thing and the other guy sees a whole other thing. So I try not to take them too seriously. Lately I have them screened so I only read the positive ones Picture Quote #1

I think up until the point when we started in the business, which was in the early 70s, most of the humor was political. The smart humor was political satire Picture Quote #1

I think that came out of watching all those serious movies for all that time. If you watch a movie like Zero Hour, Sterling Hayden is pretty funny, and so are the guys in the cockpit Picture Quote #1

Chevy Chase and Bill Murray - we thought those guys were funny. We love Bill Murray, but we didn’t think they were right for Airplane! Because it would step on the joke if there was a known comedian Picture Quote #1

Quit now, you’ll never make it. If you disregard this advice, you’ll be halfway there Picture Quote #1

I don’t take reviews very seriously, but in their totality I think they are representative of how the audience feels, and of what their reaction is. There’s always one guy who doesn’t get it Picture Quote #1
