Borat, extreme character comedy
Sayings by Sacha Baron Cohen
My humor is often about exposing the gap between what people say and what they actually believe.
There's a fine line between genius and madness, and I try to walk that line.
I believe in the power of laughter to bring people together, even if it's uncomfortable laughter.
I'm not interested in preaching to the choir. I'm interested in reaching people who might not agree with me.
The greatest joy for me is when people are genuinely surprised by what they see.
I think absurdity is a very powerful tool for revealing truth.
My characters are often a mirror, reflecting back the prejudices of society.
I'm not trying to change the world, I'm just trying to make people think about it a little differently.
The most uncomfortable moments are often the most revealing.
I think there's a certain joy in being completely outrageous.
My humor is often about pushing buttons, and seeing what happens.
I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself, if it means I can expose a greater truth.
The best comedy comes from a place of honesty, even if it's an uncomfortable honesty.
I think there's a lot of power in being an outsider, and looking at things from a different perspective.
My job is to make people laugh, and if they learn something along the way, that's a bonus.
