	“I remember, when I was in university I studied history, and there was this one major historian of the Third Reich, Ian Kershaw. And his quote was, ‘The path to Auschwitz was paved with indifference.’ I know it’s not very funny being a comedian talking about Holocaust, but I think it’s just an interesting idea that not everyone in Germany had to be a raving anti-Semite.

Admitting that you're never going to play the character again is like saying goodbye to a loved one. And that's hard.”		“It's wonderful that the films are successful, but every new person who sees the movie is one less person I can be Borat or Bruno with again, so finishing a movie means having to say goodbye.
