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

A lot of good love can happen in ten years.

Jim Carrey

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.

Jim Carrey

Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn’t been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that’s really worthwhile.

But I refuse to believe that I am a better actor than myself.

Jim Carrey

Christmas was really where I started coming into my own as a performer because I did all this stuff on my own, all this performing on my own, When other kids were outside playing, I was in my room conjuring characters and impressions and things like that.

Jim Carrey

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.

Jim Carrey

Creative people don’t behave very well generally. If you’re looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you’re gonna be depressed real fast. I don’t have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She’s my first priority.

Jim Carrey

Either you’re the one erasing or you’re the one being erased.

Jim Carrey

Ever since I started to get recognition I’ve picked out certain fans and reverse-stalked them.
