Jim Carrey Filmography

• "I rarely drink coffee. I am very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful."
• On having dual citizenship: "I have no intention of giving up my Canadian heritage, and all those who loved and supported me."
• "My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian."
• "This country (The United States) has helped define me and make my dreams come true."
• On his love life: "In my time I've done the erasing and I've been erased and it's never a pleasant feeling."
• "Everybody has someone they'd rather erase. Everybody identifies with that - having had some relationship that hurts so bad they just wish they could make the ghost go away. But I would never want a person erased completely from my memory."
• On a method of dealing with heartache: "I learn to forgive and move on and look at the world as a beautiful place again."
• "Everybody expects that fairy tale that you're going to be together forever with somebody, and I don't really subscribe to that. But 10 years is enough. A lot of good love can happen in 10 years."
• "I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of day when I'm alone and I don't have to be on, performing."
• "Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches."
• "Green Eggs and Ham was the story of my life. I wouldn't eat a thing when I was a kid, but Dr. Suess inspired me to try cauliflower."
• "There was no skin to be had. Everything was covered and it was impossible to scratch your nose." [on his costume from The Grinch] - People. 11.20.00
• "I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don't know if it's possible forever and ever."
• "That's the trouble with being me. At this point nobody gives a damn what my problem is. I could literally have a tumor on the side of my head and they'd be like...Yeah, big deal, I'd eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money you're pulling down." Nov 2000.
• “It started in second grade. I was in music class and we were practicing for the Christmas assembly. One day I started fooling around by mocking the musicians on a record. The teacher thought she’d embarrass me by making me get up and do what was doing in front of the whole class. So I went up and did it. She laughed, and the whole class went nuts. My teacher asked me to do my routine for the Christmas assembly, and I did. That was the beginning of the end.”
• "I don't think anybody should go through life without a team of Psychologists."
