"I was particularly pissed off about some of the articles written about Shallow Hal (2001) because I felt they were missing the point of the whole movie. We're saying it doesn't matter. I'm attracted to my wife, but eventually my wife isn't going to look like she looks now. But I'm still gonna love her and it's not because of how she looks. Also zero letters - lots of articles in the paper about this, but not once did I get a letter from a heavy person saying 'I saw your movie and I think it sucked because you picked on heavy people'. None. In my heart I knew that we weren't doing what they claimed we were doing in the press'". Hide

"I think Me, Myself & Irene (2000) is our worst film, but the first 30 minutes are as good as anything we've ever done. The problem is with that story is, after those first 30 minutes, it turns into a chase scene. But I don't think the problem is that we went too far, I just think the story wasn't any good". Hide

"I love Kingpin (1996). That movie was the biggest disappointment we ever had in our career. They opened it up in the middle of the 1996 Olympics, had zero ads during the Olympics and the box office in the States was a fifth of what Dumb & Dumber (1994) did. It was crushing. And then you also start feeling, shit, maybe it's not that funny. It was a bummer. It wasn't until about six to eight months later when it came out on video that it became a huge hit. I have more people approach me about Kingpin (1996) now than any other movie". Hide
