It’s what I wanted to do with my life. Not necessarily just direct Jim Carrey movies, but to direct and act and write and create and along the way discover what it is that I’m about.

I enjoy the work I do in comedies. It’s a valid test of your creative abilities.

I don’t devalue comedy as compared to drama. Not one bit.

It’s great to work with the people who make you laugh and who are funnier than I am.

Sometimes I wondered whether I hadn’t let my career get confined to one direction, but lately I’ve decided to accept the fact that I have this opportunity to be successful doing comedies.

I’m very interested in the early American history, the time when the country came together.

I don’t even want to think of myself as an actor because it’s such an insecure place to go.

I’ve had a very good career and I’m grateful that the public has had some level of acceptance and appreciation of my work.

It’s weird that people expect me to be funny. I find it a real burden when I’m expected to be humorous on talk shows.

I don’t know what that weid fantasy is that makes people go, “Oh, you must have had a great childhood.”
