Quote

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.

Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.
Jim Carrey
Image
It's always fun to do something that you know ultimately is not about the money, and it's certainly not for the fame - because it's a pain in the ass. But it's really the person in the theater seat you think about when you sit in a room and write.

Acting is divine dissatisfaction. It's the greatest thing in the world to do, but you are never satisfied with it ever.
Jim Carrey
Image
I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.
Jim Carrey
Image
Not hope, but Faith. I don't believe in hope. Hope is a beggar.
Jim Carrey
Image
I just may laugh at different things than most people. I laugh at mistakes. I laugh at how you recover from mistakes. I see when people go off their material and it's actually happening in front of you and that kind of stuff excites me.

Psychologically, it's what I love to be. Tearing apart a person from the inside out.

Image
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.

I would challenge anybody in their darkest moment to write what they're grateful for, even stupid little things like the green grass that made them feel good, the friendly conversation they had with somebody on an alevator. You start to realize how rich you are.

Image
I know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.
Jim Carrey
Image
I have spiritual beliefs that I could literally go out and make an entire comedy routine about, and tour as some sort of spiritual guru, but it kind of goes against that [as] I actually believe the things, so I'm always kind of caught in the middle.

Image
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.

Magicians are definitely more arrogant. They're kind of like Abra Kadabra, you're an idiot, they don't let you in on the joke. Comedians, you're always in on the joke unless it's Andy Kaufman.

Our love is like a red, red rose... and I am a little thorny.

Originality is really important.

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

Image
I refuse to feel guilty. I feel guilty about too much in my life but not about money. I went through periods when I had nothing, so somebody in my family has to get stinkin' wealthy.
Jim Carrey
Image
I think that there's a natural attraction to enigmatic characters, people that have decided to make a decision in their lives to live differently than everyone else. That's a very attractive quality that also happens to be good for filmmaking, people that have their own point of view and aren't looking at things the same way as everyone else.
Jim Carrey
Image
I always have been introspective, since I was a little kid, since I could remember, I was sitting in a closet trying to write out the meaning of the universe. That's been my whole life.

I love stories about teachers. For some reason I can't get enough of those kind of stories. If I turn a movie on about a teacher, I love it. I love that idea of an adult influence on kids.
