“Comedians shouldn’t be held accountable for acts of violence – and those we satirize shouldn’t be silenced. Sarah Palin is hilarious, and I would never want her silenced. It informs the debate.

If all countries made satirical movies about each other, and that was the only way we all fought – what a great world we’d live in.”
