I do whatever [comedies] I'm attracted to. It's like the woman who stands out in the crowd, who for some reason you notice, that's the one you're supposed to dance with at that time in your life. That's just what it is with scripts... they find you when you're emotionally in the right place to do them.
Jim CarreyThere is a huge difference between a dog that is going to eat you in your mind and an actual dog that's going to eat you.
Jim CarreyI think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.
Jim CarreyI enjoy fame except when I'm with my daughter. Kids stop me all the time and I don't want her to be jealous of the attention. Also, sometimes I just want to be left alone and I refuse to make rubber faces. That's when they start asking, What's the matter, man, don't you like your job? I say, Yeah, I like my job. But I also like having sex, and I'm not going to do that in front of you either.
Jim CarreyIโve often said that I wish people could realize all their dreams and wealth and fame, so that they could see that itโs not where theyโre gonna find their sense of completion. Like many of you, I was concerned about going out into the world and doing something bigger than myself, until someone smarter than myself made me realize that there is nothing bigger than myself. My soul is not contained within the limits of my body, my body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul.
