I found this on a blog called www.1995batman.com, which appears to be chronicling stuff from the film.
Here are the full quotes about TLJ from the article. It's not always clear when Carrey is talking about the character of Two-Face and when he's talking about TLJ.
Playing counterpoint to Carrey's Riddler is another longtime Bat-foe who also seeks revenge on the Dark Knight--Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face. Both are extremely forceful actors, and neither is above chewing the scenery. "Tommy Lee is an amazing actor," Carrey declares. "He scared the hell out of me and basically, he's a pain in the ass."
Carrey is smiling his infectious Jim Carrey grin, so it's hard to tell how seriously to take his disarmingly casual assessment until he goes on in the same vein.
"He's not somebody you want to hang out with for too long. He's just a complex, troubled individual and that's basically where it's at. So, I used it. I had fun with it, and that was it. Tommy Lee comes from a different place than I do, so it was kinda fun, actually. It was kinetic and interesting. Like two rams smashing into one another."
Rumors of scene-stealing on the set abound--with Two-Face coming out second best to Carrey's Prince of Puzzlers. "To a certain extent, it's chemistry," Carrey suggests. "The Riddler uses Two-Face. The Riddler is more intelligent than anybody on Earth--in his mind. To even think he's on the same level as Two-Face would be ridiculous. So, he patronizes him as much as he can. He gets what he needs--which is strength--from Two-Face. So that put me in that 'I'm going to toy with you now' kind of place. 'And you can whack me too, but it won't really matter because I'll spit at you with my last breath.'"
Bonus tidbits in this interview include Carrey saying he came up with the idea for the Riddler's costume at the end of the movie and the stuff that happened during Riddler's scene in the Batcave.
