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

More quotes by Jim Carrey
The money can be a hindrance to someone like me because the danger is that you start thinking, 'Is that a $20 million take?' That kind of thing, and being self-critical.
Jim Carrey
Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don't limit myself.
Jim Carrey
Humor is not debatable. It's like sex. Either you're aroused or you're not. Nobody can reason you around to their point of view.
Jim Carrey
I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don't know if it's possible forever and ever.
Jim Carrey
Hope walks through the fire. Faith leaps over it.
Jim Carrey
Riddle me this, riddle me that. Who's afraid of the big black bat?
Jim Carrey
I try to do something the audience might not have seen before.
Jim Carrey
I was on Prozac for a long time. It may have helped me out of a jam for a little bit, but people stay on it forever.
Jim Carrey
There's been a thoughtfulness to everything I do. Even the stupidest things I do have some kind of point.
Jim Carrey
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.
Jim Carrey
I used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I'd have a hairy conniption. I'd just go crazy.
Jim Carrey
Originality is really important.
Jim Carrey
I don't feel any pressure to be funny at all. I'm funny because I want to be funny. I could sit here and be serious for an hour and you would go away and make me much funnier than I am.
Jim Carrey
I haven't been as wild with my money as somebody like me might have been. I've been very safe, very conservative with investments. I don't blow money. I don't have a ton of houses. I know things can go away. I've already had that experience.
Jim Carrey
I love the idea that 'a person is a person no matter how small'.
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
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
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
My father used to brag that I wasn't a ham, I was the whole pig.
Jim Carrey
I have no limits! I cannot be contained because I'm the container.
