i loved loved loved loved loved loved jim carrey for a few years, at a certain age.

i don't talk about him much.

but he's actually probably my biggest influence.

it wasn't just jim carrey  it was robin williams. it was bill murray. that kind of character actor that can do drama as well or better than comedy - i always drew a lot of inspiration from that.

not that i ever wanted to be an actor; or, at least, not formally. i saw that more as an optimal way to actually live, to actually exist.

because it's the drama that makes life worthwhile, and the comedy that makes the drama manageable.

it's more fun when nobody is sure if you're acting.
