bit ended quite saw stunned
In 'There's Something About Mary' and 'Dumb & Dumber,' I ended up improvising quite a bit of my scenes, and later I didn't even remember what I'd said because I just winged it. When I went and saw the movie, I was as stunned as everyone else was.
bit funny opposed outright relationship
If you're going to take a jab at someone, you should at least have a bit more of a personal relationship with them. I feel like you can be funny and clever, as opposed to just outright vile.
excited hometown oh yes
I'm really excited to come back to my hometown (of Toronto), oh yes indeed, I'm back! Daddy's back in black.
onto scenes
The thing is, you never know with any movie how it's going to turn out. It's always a mystery - you'll do pages and pages of scenes that will never make it onto the screen.
hot
It's going to be a lot of fun, hot and steamy, just the way I like it,
grew guy guys hilarious pleasure super vile watching work
It was such a pleasure to work with Eugene Levy. What a treat. That's a guy I grew up watching as a kid. Guys like that, they were hilarious and didn't have to be super vile or X-rated.
movies star three
he says. ''I've been able to star in three movies in my career, and I still haven't done that.
ask blue inner isolated pine skies touch
I think being isolated like that let me really get in touch with my inner voice. I was able to ask myself without any distractions, 'What do you want to do with your life? Where do you want to go? What do you want to be?' And with nothing but blue skies and pine nuts, I was able to see the light.
amateur
Well, you know, I just did the old 'let's go down to amateur night,'
hang nightclub saying version wacky
If you were to come out and hang out with me, just having fun at a nightclub or a party, that's kind of the version of Harland you'd get - silly, kind of always saying wacky things.
bored filming funny outrageous people shows stuff stunts trying
I was walking around bored one day, and I started filming stuff with my cellphone. There are all these shows where people are trying to do these outrageous stunts, and I thought it would be funny to do all these stunts that aren't outrageous but then act like they are.
almost depends improvise portion wing
I always improvise with the crowd. Sometimes it will be a 50 percent show, sometimes 70 percent, sometimes it's almost a whole show where I wing it. It depends on my mood, the energy in the room. For sure, a portion of it is just kind of winging it.
absurd huge interested
Without sounding negative, I'm not a huge fan of a lot of stand-up. I'm more interested in an absurd kind of theater.
movies realized ton work
I'd done a ton of movies here in Hollywood, and I realized that every movie I'd done was somebody's else's work and someone else's vision.
