I would never call myself cultural elite, but you might be cultural elite.

There's a lot of things you can't control. But you can always be a pro.

As far as how much you listen to the audience, you listen to them when they really hate something.

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

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

I think what's dangerous [about comedy] is that you're coming into the room announcing your intentions.

I don't want to speak for my movies; you could say my movies are just completely silly and dumb, but in the case of 'Idiocracy' and 'Borat,' without a doubt there is a really subversive and sophisticated assault on American culture. It's one thing to mess stuff up and break stuff, but [Borat] is really pointing out the ideology of America. It's one thing to break stuff and damage people's possessions, but when you start aiming at the ideology of America, that's dangerous comedy.
