I think people will be curious to see what I can do as a dramatic actor.

I'm not an expert on the Malaysian sense of humor.

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.

I don't have a burning desire to be taken seriously as an actor. I don't have a master plan in that way.

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 don't think the public is dying to see me necessarily be funny all the time.

I actually started working on Madagascar before my daughter was born.
