thinking way alive
I love history. I'm very interested by it and I think it's great to have a movie that brings it alive in a way. It's sort of that romanticized version of it.
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.
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.

I don't need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines !
careers way comedy
I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.

I have a lot of nervous energy. Work is my best way of channelling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener.

I think you never want to have to go into the scene having to improvise; you want to make sure its working on the page. But I do like to have the ability to try stuff just in the moment, to give it some sort of spontaneity.

I don't play hockey at all. I'm not comfortable on skates.
