blood underdog dodgeball
Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Nobody!
writing way wanted
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.
hell
What the hell am I doing with my life?
new-york growing-up fun
When we were visiting New York City, I took my kids to the same playground where I went growing up. It was fun to feel that connection of having gone there as a kid and being there as a parent.
funny fashion silly
I wanted to be funny for people who didn't care about fashion at all, to just to kind of exist as a silly character.
comedy sensibility my-own
Zoolander was more of my own sensibility.
keep-the-faith made showing-off
God was showing off when he made you.
drama comedy devalue
I don't devalue comedy as compared to drama. Not one bit.
sweet dear-lord three
Oh, dear God, thank you, you are such a good God to us. A kind and gentle and accommodating God, and we thank You oh sweet, sweet Lord of hosts for the smörgåsbord You have so aptly laid at our table this day, and each day, by day, day by day, by day oh dear Lord three things we pray to love Thee more dearly, to see Thee more clearly, to follow Thee more nearly, day, by day, by day. Amen.
taken desire way
I don't have a burning desire to be taken seriously as an actor. I don't have a master plan in that way.
people want including
There's a sense here in L.A. that everybody's aware of everybody all the time. It's funny but we choose it. People who are here want to be here, including me.
thinking faces dodgeball
I think most politicians could take a dodgeball in the face.
thinking translate knows
I don't think know if anything's going to translate anywhere. You're making a movie, you hope it's going to be funny, you can't think about how it's going to go over.
thinking dying
I don't think the public is dying to see me necessarily be funny all the time.
