Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Jeff: I love the theater, but if I had to choose, I would choose a film at this time in my life. Something meaty, to sink my teeth into. I have done all of the genres, and the dramatic role is my favorite. Ask me again in a month, and you'll get a completely different answer.
-
Jeff: It was definitely strange playing anna's romantic interest, after playing her father. We just cleared the air right away, and refocused on the new characters at hand...no one brought up any mention of geese, that's for sure.
-
Jeff: Working with Jim Carrey is an absolute gas. I have never laughed so hard for so long. Had he been on-board for the sequel of Dumb & Dumber, I wouldv'e jumped on, with no hesitation. Things just wouldn't have been the same had I done the sequel without him, and I passed.
