I just may laugh at different things than most people. I laugh at mistakes. I laugh at how you recover from mistakes. I see when people go off their material and it's actually happening in front of you and that kind of stuff excites me.

More quotes by Jim Carrey
I try to do something the audience might not have seen before.
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 laugh at mistakes. I laugh at how you recover from mistakes.
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
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
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.
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
I don't remember yesterday. I pretty much live in the moment.
Jim Carrey
Movies find me, and I kind of just allow them to find me.
Jim Carrey
I think we're past the time in history where you have to come out and say, I'm happy all the time! I'm a joker! I'm a crazy man! I think people understand that I can turn that switch on but that I'm also a sensitive, normal human being with feelings and I know how to express those too.
Jim Carrey
Hysterical in The Mask funny yet moving in The Truman Show.
Jim Carrey
Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don't limit myself.
Jim Carrey
In retrospect it always seems to work out that you can look back on something that was a disaster and find some gems in there.
Jim Carrey
I get excited when the people I work with scare me. I get excited when I'm surrounded by people who make me better and make me stay on my game and challenge me.
Jim Carrey
The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.
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 think if we all acted the way we felt, four out of eight people at a dinner table would be sitting there sobbing.
Jim Carrey
I have no limits! I cannot be contained because I'm the container.
Jim Carrey
I know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.
Jim Carrey
