The failure of The Cable Guy impacted my career. I had to start writing and acting again.

The big-name stars . . . are always going to be playing what they've played before if they want to remain so-called A-list stars. That's why someone like Johnny Depp is doing more interesting roles not caring about the size of the movie.

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

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.

It's weird that people expect me to be funny. I find it a real burden when I'm expected to be humorous on talk shows.

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.

Stiller was able to reach speeds of around 35 miles per hour, no small task for someone who had never longboarded before.
