I think obsessions happen because you're trying to understand something or some urge.

I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb & Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together.

I'm so wrapped up in my work that it's often impossible to consider other things in my life. My marriage ended in divorce because of this, my relationship with Holly has suffered by this.

I've never been one to sit back and go, 'I'd better do what the audience wants me to do, because I don't want to lose them.'

I've often said that I wished people could realize all their dreams of wealth and fame so they could see that it's not where you'll find your sense of completion.

It's nice to finally get scripts offered to me that aren't the ones Tom Hanks wipes his butt with.

When I started out. I'd drive a hundred miles to do my act for free.
