Jim Carrey is a clown. He's a comedian, a very clownish comedian. That's what he did. And that's what he's doing again. He wanted to become a serious actor, and made a couple of movies that are dramas, but they were also a little oddball.
Hes not in Jack Nicholson's field. Jack Nicholson doesn't invite people to make movies with him. Directors and producers do that. A lot of movies are made with people who don't like each other. I mean, can you seriously picture them both together in the movie? Neither can anybody else..
