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 don't have a burning desire to be taken seriously as an actor. I don't have a master plan in that way.
I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.
I don't need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines !
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 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.
