Jeff Daniels on why Dumb and Dumber is art
"Oh, yeah, Dumb and Dumber. Did all those fart jokes hurt your reputation?" Boris Kachka asks Jeff Daniels in New York Magazine. 
"You lose your membership in the serious-actors club, so it took me a long time to get over that." Kachka suggests Daniels' roles in The Lookout and on stage in Manhattan Theatre Club's "Blackbird" are a "bit more challenging than Dumb and Dumber, I’d imagine." Daniels: "Yeah, but I visited Walter Reed in February and met these vets with horrible injuries. And every single one of them knew Dumb and Dumber. It made them laugh. You can’t tell me it doesn’t matter when a guy with no legs and half a face is laughing through his painkillers, reenacting a scene from Dumb and Dumber. That’s art."
