Colin Farrell wanted 'The Penguin' to be over: "I never want to put that fucking suit and that fucking head on again"

He's also said that he loved the experience in other interviews. Which isn't a contradiction, it shows that wanting something to be finished doesn't mean it was bad, just difficult.

Wearing that kind of makeup would be brutal, but it's also freeing (and that's essentially what he said in other places), and a very unique opportunity for a well known actor to step out of their own fame.
