I love stories about teachers. For some reason I can't get enough of those kind of stories. If I turn a movie on about a teacher, I love it. I love that idea of an adult influence on kids.

More quotes by Jim Carrey
My father used to brag that I wasn't a ham, I was the whole pig.
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
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
Jim Carrey
A lot of good love can happen in ten years.
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'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 want to be the greatest actor that ever lived, frankly. I'd love that. But I don't need to be. I just want to be here. That's it.
Jim Carrey
I'm a hard guy to live with. I'm like a caged animal. I'm up all night walking around the living room. It's hard for me to come down from what I do.
Jim Carrey
Be grateful. Find something to be grateful for. Don't do too many things that make you feel like you deserve to lose because we do program our own computers. I believe there is a plus and a minus column and if you end up on the minus column, your own conscience will make you lose.
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.
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
That peace that we're after, lies somewhere beyond personality, beyond the perception of others, beyond invention and disguise, even beyond effort itself. You can join the game, fight the wars, play with form all you want, but to find real peace, you have to let the armor fall.
Jim Carrey
I don't make it in regular channels, and that's okay for me.
Jim Carrey
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.
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
Always turn your wheel in the direction of the skid.
Jim Carrey
I expected that most of my career would be in dramatic acting. My hero was James Dean.
Jim Carrey
But, you know, you can't be a star at home.
Jim Carrey
I have spiritual beliefs that I could literally go out and make an entire comedy routine about, and tour as some sort of spiritual guru, but it kind of goes against that [as] I actually believe the things, so I'm always kind of caught in the middle.
Jim Carrey
I would challenge anybody in their darkest moment to write what they're grateful for, even stupid little things like the green grass that made them feel good, the friendly conversation they had with somebody on an alevator. You start to realize how rich you are.
