Sacha Baron Cohen

I have no moral compass when I'm in character. That's the whole point.

The greatest weapon against hate is laughter.

I'm not trying to be offensive for the sake of being offensive. I'm trying to expose hypocrisy.

I think one of the problems with America is that it's become too sensitive.

My comedy is designed to make people uncomfortable, because that's when they start to think.

I don't care about being liked. I care about making a point.

I enjoy making people squirm. It's a sign that I'm doing my job.

The more outrageous I am, the more people open up.

I'm not trying to be politically correct. I'm trying to be funny and insightful.

I think the best way to deal with prejudice is to expose it, to hold a mirror up to it.

My characters allow me to ask questions that I couldn't ask as myself.

I'm interested in how people react when they're confronted with something they don't understand.

I think comedy should be dangerous. It should push boundaries.

I'm not trying to change the world. I'm just trying to make people think.

The greatest compliment I can receive is when someone says they were offended.

I believe in freedom of speech, even if that speech is offensive to some.

My goal is to make people laugh and then make them think about why they laughed.

I'm not afraid to be a fool if it means I can get to the truth.

I think the world needs more people who are willing to take risks and challenge the status quo.

I don't believe in self-censorship. If something is funny, it's funny.
