Quote

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.

I started out performing as a little boy, I was trying to make my mother feel better and laugh because she was sick and in pain all the time. I found out that I had that power to relieve her.

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.

I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don't know if it's possible forever and ever.

Psychologically, it's what I love to be. Tearing apart a person from the inside out.

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.

My focus is to forget the pain of life. Forget the pain, mock the pain, reduce it. And laugh.

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.

I come from the philosophy of: Whatever happens to me is the greatest thing that could happen, no matter what. Sometimes in the moment I have a regret, but then I have found myself every time down the line saying to myself: I wouldn't be here if it weren't for that so called failure.

There's been a thoughtfulness to everything I do. Even the stupidest things I do have some kind of point.

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.

Movies find me, and I kind of just allow them to find me.

Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

Hysterical in The Mask funny yet moving in The Truman Show.
