So when I watched the Jim Carrey documentary about him and Andy Kaufman, I saw that Jim had kind of alienated a lot of people in his process. Jim Carrey, who I adore, by the way. But that process of kind of like alienating people or pushing them away, I sort of decided I'm not going to do that.

Having to think the thoughts, to have it register in the eyes when you say lines of dialogue, you feel very guilty when you rap at the end of the day. You feel gross. Yeah. And, you know, I only did it because of the damn character, but it's also a little mentally exhausting and you feel really gross. So, yeah, no, that character was hard to play.
