What’s great here is that we get a meeting between Jim Carrey during the tail-end of his peak and virtual unknown Will Ferrell during his initial season. Not only a major collaboration years before we realize it, but there’s also the whole thing about Carrey being the initial choice for Elf and turning it down. Anyway, RIDE THE SNAKE (…ride the snake…)

There was a physical aspect, too, where the trance would get bodily and I’d get so worked up I’d get the white-light tunnel vision sort of experience. I mean, that happened a few times. It could get into a real primal therapy sort of situation and I do think that had been the ultimate goal, anyway. But the jazz thing of just going ‘fully into the moment’ was the vehicle for all that—like, ‘Fuck chords, let’s just ride the snake.’”

“For me, personal style is like poetry. It can be as beautiful and as ugly as deflowering two virgins in a motel room in Tijuana while shooting up cocaine for three days straight. Ride the snake, you know? And I think we all know what I'm talking about when I say that. One thing I'll add, and I'll leave it at this, is there's nothing that really makes an outfit more than a Navajo belt with extremely large silver conchos.”
