访谈录 2013-03-21&03-23 金·凯瑞谈《超级魔术师》

 　　Did you ever meet with Chris Angel or David Blaine, let’s say to get a small concept of your character?

　　In a way I was securing it a little bit, so I didn’t really meet with those guys, I’ve met with David Blaine before, I’ve actually had him do magic for me before. He did a trick in public with me. That was really astounding¹. And everybody cheered, and one of my comedy friends yelled out, burn a witch, like that, and I was all over it, but now I thought it was a great magic catcall.

　　And what do you think is the most outstanding character that you wanted to represent from them?

　　I think there’s a certain, you know, playact arrogance², there’s an arrogance about magicians, you know, just like they go huala, you’re stupid. You know, kind of thing. You know, and so, you know, so I want to take that to the hilt and be a guy who just thinks everybody is really amusing.

　　Steve Carell’s character is tired, you know, doing this the same thing for so long, sometimes, do you feel like that, you’re tired of making people laugh all the time.

　　Of course, that’s why I don’t sometimes. You know, I get that a lot on twitter, you know, won’t you just be funny dude? You know, that kind of thing, and I go, because funny is a finger on my hand, it’s not the whole me, you know, it’s the one I pick my nose with, so it’s busy a lot of the time.
