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.

More quotes by Jim Carrey
If you've got a talent, protect 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.
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
Everything can be made fun of. The most serious things are ripe for making fun of them.
Jim Carrey
I spent most of my time in my room staring at a mirror. I never knew I was supposed to socialize. I just spent hours making faces at myself, having a good time.
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
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
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
You are the vanguard of knowledge and consciousness a new wave in a vast ocean of possibilities.
Jim Carrey
Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.
Jim Carrey
My psychiatrist says I have a messiah complex. But I forgave him.
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 love the idea that 'a person is a person no matter how small'.
Jim Carrey
You might as well take a chance on doing what you love.
Jim Carrey
The thing is, I've always tried to create transcendent moments. Moments that take people away from their concerns. Heaven to me is when people find a way to become so involved with life that they're no longer concerned for the future.
Jim Carrey
I don't hate you for loving you. I just hate my heart for choosing someone like you.
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
You can be zany and funny or you can do something that really has some depth to it and serious, so there's many different colors to paint with. I would hate to get trapped in one little thing. I always feel like funny is an appendage, but it is not my whole body.
Jim Carrey
I've always believed that you can funnel good things toward yourself by thinking positiviely.
Jim Carrey
I'm not in a recession. I'm doing very, very well. I'm doing incredibly well. I just want to be honest. I really am kicking ass.
Jim Carrey
