Jim Carrey Quotes

I've never been one to sit back and go, 'I'd better do what the audience wants me to do, because I don't want to lose them Picture Quote #1

It was such a leap in my career when 'Truman Show' came along. It's always been a long process for me insofar as recognition goes, but that's OK because you appreciate it when it comes Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian Picture Quote #1

Some nights it was a melee, literally, where I'd be standing trying to defend myself for what I was doing. People would be screaming at me to do my old act, and getting actually violent and angry at me Picture Quote #1

There was a time when people said, 'Jim, if you keep on making faces, your face will freeze like that.' Now they just say, 'Pay him!' Picture Quote #1

What I have in common with the character in 'Truman' is this incredible need to please people. I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. and I have felt this way ever since all this success started Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You know, I live a monastic lifestyle. No, I do. I do live in extremes, basically. I go back and forth. Once every six months, I'll have a day where I eat more chocolate than has ever been consumed by a human being Picture Quote #1

I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb and Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together Picture Quote #1

I enjoy my life. The fame part of it freaked me out for a little while, and there are definitely times when it's not so great to be special and known by everybody - you know, when you're wearing the wrong thing, or just in a vulnerable place. But I'm good with my life now Picture Quote #1

All there will ever be is what’s happening here. Decisions we make in this moment are based on either love or fear. So many of us choose our path out of fear, disguised as practicality Picture Quote #1

Madness is never that far away. It’s as close as saying yes to the wrong impulse Picture Quote #1

My father used to brag that I wasn’t a ham, I was the whole pig Picture Quote #1

As far as I’m concerned, everything bad that happens in the world stems from the same place, they’re people who don’t feel important Picture Quote #1

Kids need to know they’re the most important thing in the world to you, and if that means quitting your job to prove it, then you have to prove it Picture Quote #1

The thing is, I’ve always tried to create transcendent moments. Moments that take people away from their concerns. Heaven to me is when people find a way to become so involved with life that they’re no longer concerned for the future Picture Quote #1

One of my mission statements with all of my art has been to stop the world for people. I want to stop the worrying and stop the world Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

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 Picture Quote #1

There’s been a thoughtfulness to everything I do. Even the stupidest things I do have some kind of point Picture Quote #1

Every character I do is something special to me. Every time you score with a great character relationship in a movie, it becomes your baby Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in bad people. I believe that people, somewhere inside, have the potential to realize themselves Picture Quote #1

Every character is a baby. You can’t choose between them. If you can, you didn’t do your job. You have to fall in love with every character Picture Quote #1

Psychologically, it’s what I love to be. Tearing apart a person from the inside out Picture Quote #1

I always have been introspective, since I was a little kid, since I could remember, I was sitting in a closet trying to write out the meaning of the universe. That’s been my whole life Picture Quote #1

I spent most of my time in my room staring at a mirror. I never knew I was supposed to socialize. I just spent hours making faces at myself, having a good time Picture Quote #1

The combination of what’s written and just being in the moment is always the best way. You gotta start out with something solid and then you play Picture Quote #1

When you are a kid, you need to have something to do. This will keep you off the streets Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

What I do as an art form is try to make people feel good and if I do try to make them feel bad, it’s for a reason. There’s something I am trying to say Picture Quote #1
