I would like to do more dramas when I find a good role that will allow me to politely upset people's expectations of me as a comic 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.

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 !

I don't think know if anything's going to translate anywhere. You're making a movie, you hope it's going to be funny, you can't think about how it's going to go over.

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

Jim Carrey, a comic genius, has a harder time overcoming the public's desire for him to be funny simply because he's so good at it.
