More quotes by Jim Carrey
I spent most of my time in my room staring at a mirror. I never knew I was supposed to socialize. I just spent hours making faces at myself, having a good time.
Jim Carrey
Most of the time I live with my pain. I have pain but I won't show it around. I think that's the nobility of the character. There's something noble in not spewing on people all the time about your problems. I'm the light guy, so I identified.
Jim Carrey
I started out performing as a little boy, I was trying to make my mother feel better and laugh because she was sick and in pain all the time. I found out that I had that power to relieve her.
Jim Carrey
I'm very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.
Jim Carrey
I'm not always looking for the laugh. I'm not the guy who sits in and listens to conversations and wants to jump in with something hilarious every two seconds. I actually do listen to people.
Jim Carrey
I want to be the greatest actor that ever lived, frankly. I'd love that. But I don't need to be. I just want to be here. That's it.
Jim Carrey
Hysterical in The Mask funny yet moving in The Truman Show.
Jim Carrey
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
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.
Jim Carrey
I said yes to so many things, from a sex change to gastric by-pass surgery, so it's always paid off for me.
Jim Carrey
Always turn your wheel in the direction of the skid.
Jim Carrey
My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian.
Jim Carrey
Comedic actors can be looked at as a lower form because we have to put ourselves in a lower place than most of the audience. I think lofty emotions are somehow considered more special. The best stories in the world to me are the ones that elicit a real emotion, but have humour.
Jim Carrey
The worst thing in the world when you feel broken is to have somebody coming at you with open-faced love.
Jim Carrey
I try to do something the audience might not have seen before.
Jim Carrey
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.
Jim Carrey
Every character is a baby. You can't choose between them. If you can, you didn't do your job. You have to fall in love with every character.
Jim Carrey
When I started to realise how important the film was to people I thought there is a lot of negative stuff going on in the world, maybe they need these two people
Jim Carrey
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
Jim Carrey
I enjoy my life. The fame part of it freaked me out for a little while, and there are definitely times when it's not so great to be special and known by everybody - you know, when you're wearing the wrong thing, or just in a vulnerable place. But I'm good with my life now.
Jim Carrey
