I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting.

More quotes by Jim Carrey
I got a lot of support from my parents. That's the one thing I always appreciated. They didn't tell me I was being stupid they told me I was being funny.
Jim Carrey
Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much. You can spend your whole life imagining ghosts, worrying about the pathway to the future, but all it will ever be is what's happening here, the decisions in that we make in this moment, which are based in either love or fear.
Jim Carrey
Be grateful. Find something to be grateful for. Don't do too many things that make you feel like you deserve to lose because we do program our own computers. I believe there is a plus and a minus column and if you end up on the minus column, your own conscience will make you lose.
Jim Carrey
Everybody expects the fairy tale - you're going to be together forever with somebody. I don't really subscribe to that. I'd love that to happen if that happened, but ten years is enough. Ten years is a good thing with somebody, I think. It's a nice thing. A lot of good love can happen in ten years.
Jim Carrey
I love the idea that 'a person is a person no matter how small'.
Jim Carrey
I feel like I've lived the dream for sure, I'm the luckiest guy in the world and I never forget that. I always feel like I'm proof of positive thought and manifestation, and that faith is more important than talent. But if you have both you're really doing something.
Jim Carrey
Our love is like a red, red rose... and I am a little thorny.
Jim Carrey
I've arrived at the place if I'm not taking a career risk, I'm not happy. If I'm scared, then I know I'm being challenged.
Jim Carrey
I get excited when the people I work with scare me. I get excited when I'm surrounded by people who make me better and make me stay on my game and challenge me.
Jim Carrey
I hope I'll never be is drunk with my own power.
Jim Carrey
Risk being seen in all of your glory.
Jim Carrey
I think we're past the time in history where you have to come out and say, I'm happy all the time! I'm a joker! I'm a crazy man! I think people understand that I can turn that switch on but that I'm also a sensitive, normal human being with feelings and I know how to express those too.
Jim Carrey
My mother was a professional sick person she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.
Jim Carrey
The thing is, I've always tried to create transcendent moments. Moments that take people away from their concerns. Heaven to me is when people find a way to become so involved with life that they're no longer concerned for the future.

It's nice to finally get scripts offered to me that aren't the ones Tom Hanks wipes his butt with.

But, you know, you can't be a star at home.

The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.

Movie offers are out there for me, I just don't hear them yet.
Jim Carrey
I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.
Jim Carrey
Movies find me, and I kind of just allow them to find me.
