'Q&A: What did you think of the voice-over in GOODFELLAS?'. ^ 'Robert McKee on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos'.'Robert McKee – Lessons of a screenwriting guru'. ^ '- Film programme interview, 9 February 2007 ''.^ 'Basic Instinct' - New York Times article by Joe Queenan, September 17, 2006.^ 'Hall of Fame Awards | Final Draft®'.^ a b Michigan Today – June 1995 - interview with Brett Forrest.In a Haaretz article, McKee was quoted as saying in front of a Tel Aviv audience that Israelis have a rough sense of humor, completely different from the known worldwide Jewish one, since Israelis are living in a harsh reality which leads them to lose their sense of humor.McKee states otherwise, that the writer/screenwriter is in fact the most important creator of the movie. McKee is known to object to the French-originated 'auteur theory', which states that the director is the de facto author of a movie.There is some truth to the scene in Adaptation however, as he vehemently teaches that using voice-over to substitute for telling the story via action and dialogue is weak, whereas he teaches that voice-over used to counterpoint and enrich the story can be wonderful. McKee claims in his seminars that he does not say not to use voice-over narration.

McKee appeared on the Simpsons episode 'Caper Chase' as himself. McKee also appears and is criticized in several works, for example, Missionnaire by French author Joann Sfar. In a CBC interview he said that to give his lecture in the 1930s, '40s or '50s 'would have been ludicrous'. Furthermore, he claims that much of what he teaches was common knowledge 50 or 60 years ago, but that screenwriters have lost touch with the fundamentals of storytelling. Nevertheless, McKee himself tells his students that Aristotle is the basis for much of what he teaches, credits much of his writing on conflict and drama to the teaching of Kenneth Thorpe Rowe, and he often distributes some of John Howard Lawson's writings at his seminar: he acknowledges his forebears and never claims that he is inventing a brand new approach to storytelling. While McKee's work might appear to be a fresh approach to story structure, many of the ideas he discusses have been around since Aristotle and notably appear in the work of William Archer, John Howard Lawson and Alexander Mackendrick.
