I don't care if people think I am an overactor, as long as they enjoy what I do. People who think that would call Van Gogh an overpainter.

More quotes by 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
Riddle me this, riddle me that. Who's afraid of the big black bat?
Jim Carrey
I would do anything to be anywhere in the vicinity of Eckhart Tolle.
Jim Carrey
In retrospect it always seems to work out that you can look back on something that was a disaster and find some gems in there.
Jim Carrey
I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb & Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together.

I don't think anybody should go through life without a team of psychologists. I have been through times when I'm literally squatting in the living room, having one of those open-throated cries, where you're crying all the way to your butthole. I always believed I would come out of it, though.
Jim Carrey
Those times in life when you're terrified are the mastery times.
Jim Carrey
One thing I hope I'll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.
Jim Carrey
I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.
Jim Carrey
There are two thoughts that will ensure success in all you do (1) Don't tell everything you know, and (2) until Ace Ventura, no actor had considered talking through his ass.
Jim Carrey
The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.
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 expected that most of my career would be in dramatic acting. My hero was James Dean.
Jim Carrey
Don't worry if you miss your cue, because there's always doors opening. They keep opening.
Jim Carrey
Usually you regret the things you say no to.
Jim Carrey
Hope walks through the fire. Faith leaps over it.
Jim Carrey
Movie offers are out there for me, I just don't hear them yet.
Jim Carrey
I just like being creative, whatever way I have to do it.
Jim Carrey
Psychologically, it's what I love to be. Tearing apart a person from the inside out.
