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.

More quotes by Jim Carrey
I don't feel any pressure to be funny at all. I'm funny because I want to be funny. I could sit here and be serious for an hour and you would go away and make me much funnier than I am.
Jim Carrey
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.
Jim Carrey
Movies find me, and I kind of just allow them to find me.
Jim Carrey
My focus is to forget the pain of life. Forget the pain, mock the pain, reduce it. And laugh.
Jim Carrey
50 years: here's a time when you have to separate yourself from what other people expect of you, and do what you love. Because if you find yourself 50 years old and you aren't doing what you love, then what's the point?
Jim Carrey
I think it's important never to look a gift horse in the mouth, never to overlook your talents [and] what you're good at.
Jim Carrey
My mother was a professional sick person she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.
Jim Carrey
Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.
Jim Carrey
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'
Jim Carrey
comedy is a high form of art becaus it brings us more joy than anything else, practically but at the same time, it doesn't get a lot of respect. that's the sacrifice you make to do it.
Jim Carrey
The only thing that has ever consumed me is love from time to time. Feeling like, 'What is it? How do I get it?'
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 don't care if people think I am an overactor, as long as they enjoy what I do. People who think that would call Van Gogh an overpainter.
Jim Carrey
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.
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 the first to admit this whole salary thing is getting out of control. In the final analysis, it's still about the work.
Jim Carrey
The money can be a hindrance to someone like me because the danger is that you start thinking, 'Is that a $20 million take?' That kind of thing, and being self-critical.
Jim Carrey
Free cable is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Jim Carrey
Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.
Jim Carrey
Riddle me this, riddle me that. Who's afraid of the big black bat?
