More quotes by Jim Carrey
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.
Jim Carrey
My spiritual journey has been a good kind of thing I've been on. I guess some people would say I'm obsessed with it, but in a really good way. It's just enjoyable. I don't really have crazy obsessions about things.
Jim Carrey
My dad was like a stage mother he always pushed me to do what I wanted.
Jim Carrey
The early bird gathers no moss! The rolling stone catches the worm.
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
Movie offers are out there for me, I just don't hear them yet.
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.

But, you know, you can't be a star at home.
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
Hysterical in The Mask funny yet moving in The Truman Show.
Jim Carrey
The purpose of art is to bring people into presence.
Jim Carrey
Risk being seen in all of your glory.
Jim Carrey
I hate Christmas. I do think it is odd that I have wound up playing these two iconic Christmas haters. It is the same story, in a way. Scrooge is the original Grinch. I think I am perfectly suited, because I have had some dark Christmases.
Jim Carrey
The worst thing in the world when you feel broken is to have somebody coming at you with open-faced love.
Jim Carrey
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.
Jim Carrey
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.
Jim Carrey
Lots of people say if you dredge too much stuff up, you'll go crazy - You'll go insane! But for a comedian, insanity is not a problem. It's a goal.
Jim Carrey
I don't remember yesterday. I pretty much live in the moment.
Jim Carrey
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.
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.
