More quotes by 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.
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
Movies are great, but the real romance happens right here somewhere as real close-up. Either you're the one erasing or you're the one being erased, so... It's not a pleasant feeling!
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
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
The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.
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
I expected that most of my career would be in dramatic acting. My hero was James Dean.
Jim Carrey
If I had never ventured beyond being a stand-up comic, then I would be sitting in my house today working on my Leonardo DiCaprio impression.
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
I try to do something the audience might not have seen before.
Jim Carrey
Charles Dickens was an incredibly cinematic writer. He wrote this one hundred years before there were movies. He writes very thematically. It is amazing.
Jim Carrey
I'm very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.
Jim Carrey
My career has been in a weird kind of like low-flying under the radar-kind of place. I never made it on Saturday Night Live where all my friends did.
Jim Carrey
It's time to P-A-R-T-Why? Because I gotta!
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 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
I just like being creative, whatever way I have to do it.
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.

A lot of good love can happen in ten years.
