Length for AES256 symmetric encryption passphrase?

[Barnet Wagman]

This a rather naive question, but I haven't found and answer to it. When 
doing symmetric encryption with AES256, is there any reason to have a 
passphrase that exceeds 32 characters (since that's the length of the 
AES key)?

thanks
