• Until Ace Ventura, no actor had considered talking through his ass. (Jim Carrey)
• A lot of good love can happen in ten years. (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. (Jim Carrey)
• Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes. (Jim Carrey)
• But, you know, you can't be a star at home. (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)
• Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything, or creating anything. Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting. (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. (Jim Carrey)
• For some reason I did something where I realized I could get a reaction. That was when I broke out of my shell at school, because I really didn't have any friends or anything like that and I just kind of was going along, and then finally I did this zany thing, and all of a sudden I had tons of friends. (Jim Carrey)
• Green Eggs and Ham was the story of my life. I wouldn't eat a thing when I was a kid, but Dr. Seuss inspired me to try cauliflower! (Jim Carrey)
• I absolutely want to have a career where you make'em laugh and make'em cry. It's all theater. (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)
• I don't make it in regular channels, and that's okay for me. (Jim Carrey)
• I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting. Jim Carrey (Jim Carrey)
• 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. (Jim Carrey)
• I got a lot of support from my parents. That's the one thing I always appreciated. They didn't tell me I was being stupid; they told me I was being funny. (Jim Carrey)
• I haven't been as wild with my money as somebody like me might have been. I've been very safe, very conservative with investments. I don't blow money. I don't have a ton of houses. I know things can go away. I've already had that experience. (Jim Carrey)
• I just want to be myself. (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)
• I love playing ego and insecurity combined. (Jim Carrey)
• But, you know, you can't be a star at home (Jim Carrey)
• I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal. (Jim Carrey)
• I praticed making faces in the mirror and it would drive my mother crazy. She used to scare me by saying that I was going to see the devil if I kept looking in the mirror. That fascinated me even more, of course. (Jim Carrey)
• I really believe in the philosophy that you create your own universe. I'm just trying to create a good one for myself. (Jim Carrey)
• I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don't know if it's possible forever and ever. (Jim Carrey)
• I refuse to feel guilty. I feel guilty about too much in my life but not about money. I went through periods when I had nothing, so somebody in my family has to get stinkin' wealthy. (Jim Carrey)
• 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 performing. (Jim Carrey)
• I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself. (Jim Carrey)
• I try to do something the audience might not have seen before. Like if I'm gonna kiss a girl I wanna kiss her like a girl has never been kissed. Like maybe I would kick her legs out from under her and catch her right before she hits the ground and then kiss her. (Jim Carrey)
• I used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I'd have a hairy conniption. I'd just go crazy (Jim Carrey)
