Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

Was it like making six different films?

Yes. Harold [Ramis] was joking that no matter what happens, I'm gonna get a hell of a demo reel out of this movie. Finally, the world will know that Brendan Fraser has diverse talent. Want a Colombian drug lord? You've got it!

Are you worried that you haven't been a versatile enough actor?

I try and make choices that will allow me to have a different thing to do every time out. Conceptually, I don't want to get bored with it. Audiences should expect the actors they patronize to stretch and head in different directions.

You know I have to ask this. If you were face to face with the Devil, what would you wish for?

I don't believe in wishing. You have to work for things, as Elliot Richards learned in "Bedazzled." But if I had even one wish? Hmm, it wouldn't be for world peace, because it might set the tilt of the universe off its axis. We need chaos to balance the world. OK, how about--no one suffers in the world for one day. Just one day. But tomorrow, watch out. It's gonna be twice as bad.
