Джим Кери: Нещо вътре в теб винаги разказва история

55-годишният Джим Кери е познат на повечето от нас като актьор с изключителен  талант за пресъздаване на комедийни роли, смешни ситуации и странни физиономии. 

Едва ли предполагате, че всъщност актьорът е също така вглъбен философ и художник, който отделя време, внимание и старание, за да създава изкуство, което за разлика от актьорското майсторство, оставя и материални следи. В кратък филм Джим Кери споделя как се случва творческият процес, както и какви са размислите му за живота, които го вълнуват. 

"Не знам на какво ме учи рисуването, знам само че ме освобождава. От бъдещето, от миналото, от съжалението и притеснението". 

"Нещо вътре в теб винаги разказва история. Вярвам, че всяко едно нещо, което виждаш и чуваш ти проговаря" 

Ето и пълният текст на английски език:

"What you do in life chooses you. You can choose, not to do it. You can choose to try and do something safer. Your vocation chooses you.

When I really started painting a lot, I had become so obsessed that there was nowhere to move in my home. Painting were everywhere. There were becoming part of the furniture, I was eating on them.

I found myself looking around at one point, a real blick winter in New York and it was so depressing and I think I needed color.

You can tell what I love by the color of the paintings. You can tell my inner life by the darkness in some of them. You can tell what I want from the brightness in some of them.

I think what makes someone an artist is, they makes models of their inner life, they make something physically come into being that is inspired by their emotions or their needs or what they feel the audience needs.

When I was a kid I spent half my time in the living room performing for people, I spent the other half of time in my bedroom, by myself, writing poetry and sketching. I was not the type of kid you could say, as a punishment, "go to your room" because my room was like heaven to me. My isolation was welcomed.

I sketched all the time but I didn't do a lot of painting. Suddenly, six years ago, at a time when I was trying to heal a broken heart I decided, well, maybe I will paint.

The energy that surrounds Jesus is electric.

I don't know if Jesus is real, I don't know if he lived, what he means but the paintings of Jesus are really my desire to convey Christ consciousness. I wanted you to have the feeling, when you look in his eyes, that he was accepting of who you are. I wanted him to be able to stare at you and heal you from the painting. You can find every race in the face of Jesus and I think that's how every race imagines Jesus, they imagine as their own.

I don't know what painting teaches me, I know that it just frees me. Free from the future, free from the past, free from regret, free from worry.

Something inside you is always telling a story. I believe that every single thing you see and hear is talking to you.

You know, the bottom line with all of this, whether is performance or it's art or it's sculpture, is love. We wanna show ourselves and have that be accepted.

I love being alive and the art is the evidence of that."
