I cannot be contained because I am the container.

You can be zany and funny or you can do something that really has some depth to it and serious, so there's many different colors to paint with. I would hate to get trapped in one little thing. I always feel like funny is an appendage, but it is not my whole body.

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'm the first to admit this whole salary thing is getting out of control. In the final analysis, it's still about the work.

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.

I want to be a positive force in the world, I would like to make people happy.

A lot of good love can happen in ten years.

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.

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.

The worst thing in the world when you feel broken is to have somebody coming at you with open-faced love.

I try to stay in decent shape always. I pride myself on staying at least a month away from really good shape.
Jim Carrey
Image
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.

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.

Choose love and don't ever let fear turn you away from your playful heart

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

My focus is to forget the pain of life. Forget the pain, mock the pain, reduce it. And laugh.

When the first big paycheque with 'Dumb And Dumber' hit, I went: 'Gosh, I wonder if this will affect my performance. Will I do a take and think, was that worth $7 million?' But that never happened. If anything, it made me rebel against that thing when people who get rich start playing it safe.

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

That peace that we're after, lies somewhere beyond personality, beyond the perception of others, beyond invention and disguise, even beyond effort itself. You can join the game, fight the wars, play with form all you want, but to find real peace, you have to let the armor fall.

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.
