Frasi Jim Carrey
„Madness is never that far away. It's as close as saying yes to the wrong impulse.“
— Jim Carrey
Context: Madness is never that far away. It's as close as saying yes to the wrong impulse. The people who stay sane are the people who can make those quick decisions: "Should I stick my fingers into the fan, or leave the room right now?
"Should I run the blade of this razor across my tongue, or just finish shaving and move away from the sink?"
But you don't because luckily most of us have that little voice inside our head that says, "Uh uh uh, turning the car into oncoming traffic... is counterproductive!"
„People would be tunneling under the street to avoid you. They'd go "Oh, man — is that happy guy still out there?“

„The best stories in the world to me are the ones that elicit a real emotion, but have humour.“

— Jim Carrey
Context: I think we're past the time in history where you have to come out and say, "you know I'm just happy all the time! I'm a joker, I'm a crazy man!" you know kind of thing.

And yourself?", or "Fine! Thank you very much!" But sometimes they like to surprise you, "I've got no dream, man! I'm all dead inside!"
