You never know who's going to become your friend. Friends are always chance meetings.

Directing is a tremendous art.

I turned down Short Circuit 2 too and I now wish I hadn't. Sequels are a lot of fun and you get to hang out with all your friends.

When you're going over periods of your life, you remember certain things, certain events, certain people that you've forgotten. You've forgotten certain lessons or people you were very close to, and then you haven't seen them in a while. I think if you can go through life with the correct regrets, then looking back on it, like I did, a certain portion of my life is pretty enjoyable. All my regrets are ones that I'd like to keep.

I love the fame and the money and the power. You have to keep working to have that.

It's good Xerox is known for its copying machines, and it's good Jim Carrey is known for comedy.

I've always been proud of my character and how I live my life. So my regrets are few, and the ones I do have, I'm glad I have.
