Jim Carrey, a comic genius, has a harder time overcoming the public's desire for him to be funny simply because he's so good at it.

It's important that we came here, just to touch base here in this great country... When I was about 16 I came with my dad for a couple of weeks and had a great time and I've wanted to come back, it's been way too long. So, I'm very happy to be here and I want to come back longer with the rest of my family.

I don't even want to think of myself as an actor because it's such an insecure place to go.

I'm always willing to endure humiliation on behalf of my characters.

I would like to do more dramas when I find a good role that will allow me to politely upset people's expectations of me as a comic actor.

My parents used to throw great New Year's Eve parties. They invited such an eclectic mix of showbiz people. All those cool people were always hanging out at our apartment.

Words can only hurt you if you try to read them. Don't play their game!
