Michel Gondry explains to Movieline how you get a good performance out of Jim Carrey:

Because the first two takes he was giving me were always perfect. He learned his lines very well. You know, some actors, they are very precise and amazing but they don't even learn their lines. Jim Carrey always knows his lines. So he would come on stage or location and would say his lines perfectly on the first two takes. Then he would start to add stuff and add stuff and we would go up to 40 takes sometimes. And the two first takes were always the best ones — except sometimes he would come up with something so amazing that we would use it. But most of the time he was perfect in the beginning while he didn't really grasp what was going on; he was just saying his lines. And I think that's what I need from my actors: Say the line! It was lucky because with some actors, before they will do a different take, you have to go through 10 takes before they remember their lines. So by the time you reach the 10th take, this actor is not really skilled in maintaining a low-key performance — they go over the top. So what was great about Jim is that he knew his lines so well, right away it was great. Then, after, he was starting to become over the top. Peter Weir, who got a great performance from Jim in The Truman Show, told me that Jim was always great in the first few takes, so we always shot right away. We didn't rehearse.

And my instincts tell me if we're going to put these irreverent ladies in the Middle East, we really want some sort of fatwa situation to occur. My thinking is that Carrie writes a column that calls into question the beauty and nobility of Middle Eastern female fashion choices. ... I figure she ends up offending the wife of a high-ranking cleric, and she has to go and apologize in person to avoid the potential fatwa. And this leads to a series of comic misunderstandings. ... And maybe that gets Samantha imprisoned, and they're going to cut off her hands. But her concerns are less about grievous bodily injury and more about, "What would the fashion implications be?" Which elicits an, "Oh my God, she'll never be able to wear gloves with her evening gown again," response from the girls.
