Jim Carrey Talks About Researching Andy Kaufman
Jim carrey: Well the thing is that I really kind of worked in another way this time. It was a real person with a real history with real ah facts and things that I could go on. Rather than a blank canvas and trying to splash some paint on it and see what I can come up with. 36:24 And it was so fascinating to me. It was like being a detective. David: Yeah. Jim: You know it really was it was like going everywhere he went and-and meeting all the people in his life and reading between the lines and trying to figure out their motivations for what they might be telling me.
Interviewer: Do you understand him after all this?
Jim carrey: I understand him a bit I think. I think I understand him pretty good. And basically he was a person who wasnt accepted. He was alienated from the get go. It wasnt exactly what daddy expected. 36:55 And ah and ah wasnt part of the club. Thats the main thing about Andy, he wasnt part of the club, he was different. 37:02 And so he created his own club with a very limited admission. You know it was ah it was a way of saying like, O.k. you know I have something special over here but you cant handle it. You know you dont have the training. You know its in my hand but if you see it youll go blind.
