More quotes by Jim Carrey
My father used to brag that I wasn't a ham, I was the whole pig.
Jim Carrey
I think projects find me. It's really interesting. Everything I've done, from The Truman Show, the Eternal Sunshine to Yes Man and Bruce Almighty, always come into my life at the perfect time.
Jim Carrey
I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.
Jim Carrey
I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which, was that you can fail at what you don't want so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love
Jim Carrey
As far as I can tell, it's just about letting the universe know what you want and then working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass.
Jim Carrey
I come from the philosophy of: Whatever happens to me is the greatest thing that could happen, no matter what. Sometimes in the moment I have a regret, but then I have found myself every time down the line saying to myself: I wouldn't be here if it weren't for that so called failure.
Jim Carrey
I'm a hard guy to live with. I'm like a caged animal. I'm up all night walking around the living room. It's hard for me to come down from what I do.
Jim Carrey
It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what's left?
Jim Carrey
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
Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.
Jim Carrey
The dating process is not normal for me.
Jim Carrey
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.
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
Lots of people say if you dredge too much stuff up, you'll go crazy - You'll go insane! But for a comedian, insanity is not a problem. It's a goal.
Jim Carrey
Hope walks through the fire. Faith leaps over it.
Jim Carrey
Hysterical in The Mask funny yet moving in The Truman Show.
Jim Carrey
The early bird gathers no moss! The rolling stone catches the worm.
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
Dry land is not a myth. I've seen it. Kevin Costner. Waterworld. I don't know what the big fuss is about. I saw that movie nine times. It rules!
Jim Carrey
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.
