I got nominated for an Academy Award(R) for writing 'Borat.'

You know, if I started worrying about what the critics think, I'd never make another comedy. You couldn't pick a less funny group than critics - you couldn't find a more bitter group of people!

When I was in NYU Film School I drove a taxi in New York for two years, I felt like I owned my own business with that little taxi.

My dog's a gentleman.

I like - there's a better word for it, but I like the danger that a comic brings to a role. It has a feeling, even though everything's scripted and everything's planned what you're going to do. When I see Will Ferrell or Sacha Baron Cohen, there's a feeling that anything could happen.

You're never nice to your friends. You're nice to people you don't like!

I just thinks it's interesting what it takes an actor to find their characters through the wardrobe, or the hair, or the way a character walks.
