Acting is like a high wire act. Your margin for error is very slim.

The older I get the more I try not to waste my time on negative energy.

Ron Howard is as good a person as you could want to work with on film. He never lost his cool. He's the most easygoing, lovely man, but he's got this enormous intelligence and a wonderful humanity

I think people think Jim Carrey's just wild and crazy. He really is very disciplined. It is true of Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams as well.

I have a kind of remarkable ability to, for want of a better phrase, get what I want. I kind of project. I guess it's called dreaming.

Jim Carrey is a consummate actor and professional. He comes on set, knows his lines and knows his moves
