I got paid a lot of money at one point so the focus became, for a lot of people, about that, but for me, it's always been the same goal: To stop the world for people.

My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian.
Jim Carrey
For the most sensitive among us the noise can be too much.
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
I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.
Jim Carrey
I really have always thought of myself as somebody who lives in the middle of the wheel and is able to go to the extreme, to the outside of the wheel in any direction. The best case scenario for me is to be able to be centered and then go out.
Jim Carrey
That's the trouble with being me. At this point, nobody gives a damn what my problem is. I could literally have a tumor on the side of my head and they'd be like, 'Yeah, big deal. I'd eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money you're pulling down.'
Jim Carrey
I'm talkin' about a place where the beer flows like wine, where the women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talkin' about Aspen.
Jim Carrey
I've always believed that you can funnel good things toward yourself by thinking positiviely.
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've arrived at the place if I'm not taking a career risk, I'm not happy. If I'm scared, then I know I'm being challenged.
Jim Carrey
The only thing that has ever consumed me is love from time to time. Feeling like, 'What is it? How do I get it?'
Jim Carrey
I'm not a bible thumper, I'm not any of that stuff, but I do believe that the force is with us.
Jim Carrey
But, you know, you can't be a star at home.
Jim Carrey
Not hope, but Faith. I don't believe in hope. Hope is a beggar.
Jim Carrey
Don't worry if you miss your cue, because there's always doors opening. They keep opening.
Jim Carrey
Comedic actors can be looked at as a lower form because we have to put ourselves in a lower place than most of the audience. I think lofty emotions are somehow considered more special. The best stories in the world to me are the ones that elicit a real emotion, but have humour.
Jim Carrey
I love the idea that 'a person is a person no matter how small'.
Jim Carrey
Ever since I started to get recognition I've picked out certain fans and reverse-stalked them.
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
My mother was a professional sick person she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.
