Free cable is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
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 know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.
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
But, you know, you can't be a star at home.
Jim Carrey
Ultimately, we’re not the avatars we create. We’re not the pictures on the film stock. We are the light that shines through it. All else is just smoke and mirrors. Distracting, but not truly compelling.
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
Hysterical in The Mask funny yet moving in The Truman Show.

Jim Carrey
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.
Jim Carrey
My father used to brag that I wasn't a ham, I was the whole pig.
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 feel like I've lived the dream for sure, I'm the luckiest guy in the world and I never forget that. I always feel like I'm proof of positive thought and manifestation, and that faith is more important than talent. But if you have both you're really doing something.
Jim Carrey
It's always good I think in general to have different energies on screen, like it's nice to have different characters go at different speeds, just like different people work at different speeds.
Jim Carrey
Everything can be made fun of. The most serious things are ripe for making fun of them.
Jim Carrey
I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don't know if it's possible forever and ever.
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
I just like being creative, whatever way I have to do it.
Jim Carrey
My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian.
