Jim Carrey's quotes

I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of day when I'm alone and I don't have to be on, performing.
Until Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), no actor had considered talking through his ass.
[about his chances of winning at the 1998 Golden Globes Awards] It's insane . . . I mean, [Jack Nicholson], [Dustin Hoffman], [Samuel L. Jackson], [Kevin Kline]--I don't see how I can lose.
Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches.
That's the trouble with being me. At this point, nobody gives a damn what my problem is. I could literally have a tumor on the side of my head and they'd be like, 'Yeah, big deal. I'd eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money you're pulling down.
I'm charming, but I dip into the Prozac now and then.
I don't believe in this fairy tale of staying together for ever. Ten years with somebody is enough. In ten years, you can give a lot of love.
I have no intention of giving up my Canadian heritage, and all those who loved and supported me. My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian.
[after recording a cover of The Beatles' "I Am the Walrus"] There! I did it! I defiled a timeless work of art! For my next trick, I will paint a clown face on the Mona Lisa while using the shroud of Turin as a dropcloth.
[on being asked what his personal motto is] Always turn your wheel in the direction of the skid.
The power of the subconscious mind! With the power of the sub-conscious mind I can learn how to do anything...I could...learn how to dance, or, yodel like an Austrian.
If there'd been Ritalin when I was a kid, I wouldn't be here now.
The best possible thing you can get out of a relationship is that you're with somebody who encourages you to be the best version of yourself.
(2001, on his first comedy show) My mother dressed me in a polyester suit, and I got booed off the stage, and I didn't go back for two years. But then when I went back, I was gangbusters.
My focus is to forget the pain, mock the pain, reduce it.
[on Ireland] I love the whole culture, obviously. You have the best musicians, the best poets. Great artists come out of Ireland.
(Why he turned down Phone Booth (2002)) I just wasn't in the right space to do that movie. I'd just come off Me, Myself & Irene (2000) and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). I didn't want to go to a phone both and think about dying.
It's not our World.
I feel that we're all lighthouses, and my job is to shine my light as brightly as I can to the darkness.
