I'm less comfortable making American movies because I don't know them so well.

I hate to say it, but there seems to have been some sort of dumbing down as far as movies go.

I'm now beginning to feel that the pessimistic vision is not for the movies.

Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!

But it's just that the whole country is making generally lousy films these days and has been for quite a while. That's the big problem that we all have to think about.

It's like everybody is obsessed with Hollywood movies worldwide. And even though everybody hates the Americans, they're still watching American movies.

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.

Cinema explains American society. It's like a Western, with good guys and bad guys, where the weak don't have a place.

There's nothing more American than movies.
