I think projects find me. It's really interesting. Everything I've done, from The Truman Show, the Eternal Sunshine to Yes Man and Bruce Almighty, always come into my life at the perfect time.

It's always fun to do something that you know ultimately is not about the money, and it's certainly not for the fame - because it's a pain in the ass. But it's really the person in the theater seat you think about when you sit in a room and write.

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.

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.

Most of the time I live with my pain. I have pain but I won't show it around. I think that's the nobility of the character. There's something noble in not spewing on people all the time about your problems. I'm the light guy, so I identified.

Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.

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.

I want to be a positive force in the world, I would like to make people happy.

Psychologically, it's what I love to be. Tearing apart a person from the inside out.
Jim Carrey
Image
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.

My soul is not contained within the limits of my body my body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul.

The dating process is not normal for me.

Image
I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.'

As far as I can tell, it's just about letting the universe know what you want and then working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass.
