Every character is a baby. You can't choose between them. If you can, you didn't do your job. You have to fall in love with every character.

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.

I enjoy my life. The fame part of it freaked me out for a little while, and there are definitely times when it's not so great to be special and known by everybody - you know, when you're wearing the wrong thing, or just in a vulnerable place. But I'm good with my life now.

I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb & Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together.

Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much. You can spend your whole life imagining ghosts, worrying about the pathway to the future, but all it will ever be is what's happening here, the decisions in that we make in this moment, which are based in either love or fear.

I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of the day when I'm alone and don't have to be on, performing.

Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don't limit myself.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

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

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.

My focus is to forget the pain of life. Forget the pain, mock the pain, reduce it. And laugh.
