Quote

Ultimately, we’re not the avatars we create. We’re not the pictures on the film stock. We are the light that shines through it. All else is just smoke and mirrors. Distracting, but not truly compelling.

When I started to realise how important the film was to people I thought there is a lot of negative stuff going on in the world, maybe they need these two people

My dad was like a stage mother he always pushed me to do what I wanted.

I really have always thought of myself as somebody who lives in the middle of the wheel and is able to go to the extreme, to the outside of the wheel in any direction. The best case scenario for me is to be able to be centered and then go out.

Movies are great, but the real romance happens right here somewhere as real close-up. Either you're the one erasing or you're the one being erased, so... It's not a pleasant feeling!

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.
Jim Carrey
Image
Acting is divine dissatisfaction. It's the greatest thing in the world to do, but you are never satisfied with it ever.
Jim Carrey
Image
I have no limits! I cannot be contained because I'm the container.
Jim Carrey
Image
There's been a thoughtfulness to everything I do. Even the stupidest things I do have some kind of point.
Jim Carrey
Image
It's time to P-A-R-T-Why? Because I gotta!

The purpose of art is to bring people into presence.

I laugh at mistakes. I laugh at how you recover from mistakes.

Comedic actors can be looked at as a lower form because we have to put ourselves in a lower place than most of the audience. I think lofty emotions are somehow considered more special. The best stories in the world to me are the ones that elicit a real emotion, but have humour.

Not hope, but Faith. I don't believe in hope. Hope is a beggar.

Our eyes are not viewers, they're also projectors that are running a second story over the picture that we see in front of us all the time. Fear is writing that script, and the working title is 'I'll never be enough'
