Frasi Jim Carrey

„Sfido chiunque nel suo momento più buio a scrivere le cose che lo rendono felice, anche quelle sciocchezzuole come l'erba verde o una conversazione amichevole con qualcuno in ascensore. Incomincerà a rendersi conto di quanto è ricco.“

— Jim Carrey

„I like people. They're entertaining. I just may laugh at different things than most people.“

— Jim Carrey
Context: I like people. They're entertaining. I just may laugh at different things than most people. I laugh at mistakes. I laugh at how you recover from mistakes. As quoted in An Interview with Jim Carrey: We talk to the comedy mastermind about his most reserved performance http://movies.ign.com/articles/498/498545p1.html by Jeff Otto IGN (12 March 2004)

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

— Jim Carrey
Context: Comedic actors can be looked at as a lower form because we have to put ourselves in a lower place than most of the audience. I think lofty emotions are somehow considered more special. The best stories in the world to me are the ones that elicit a real emotion, but have humour. As quoted in This much I know: Jim Carrey, actor, 46, Los Angeles http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/oct/19/jim-carrey-interview by Tony Horkins in The Observer (19 October 2008)

„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?“

— Jim Carrey
Context: Imagine if you could actually be that happy? That would be powerful, man. People would be tunneling under the street to avoid you. They'd go "Oh, man — is that happy guy still out there?

„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.“

— 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. I think people understand I can turn that switch on but I'm also a sensitive, normal human being with feelings and I know how to express those too.

„Communication, hardest thing in the world.“

— Jim Carrey
Context: Communication, hardest thing in the world. Y'know, I can look at you guys, I can communicate to you all night, but, one-on-one, I'm terrible. It's just, there's certain things about communicating that really bother me. Like whenever I meet somebody new I say, "Hi! How are you!" Most of the time when people hear that they'll say, "Good! 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!"

„Imagine if you could actually be that happy?“

„We have to say yes to socialism“

— Jim Carrey
Context: We have to say yes to socialism — to the word and everything [... ] Medicare for all, ending student debt, a different approach to the war on terror, ending mass incarceration. Jim Carrey says "stop apologizing" and "say yes to socialism" http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/09/10/jim-carrey-says-stop-apologizing-and-say-yes-to-socialism.html (September 2018)

„If you aren’t in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.“

„You could spend your whole life imagining ghosts, worrying about the pathway to the future but all there will ever be is what's happening here and the decisions we make in this moments which are based in either love or fear. So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality. What we really want seems impossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect so we never dared the universe for it. I'm saying I'm the proof that you can ask the universe for it. My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that that was possible for him and so he made a conservative choice instead, he got a safe job as an accountant and when I was 12 years old he was let go from that safe job and our family had to do whatever we could do to survive. I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you could fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.“

„I wish I could do some really weird stuff for you guys, you know?“

After a stint of hyperactive gymnastic antics upon the stage.

„I think nine times out of ten the worst impulses we get are when we're behind the wheel of a car. That's why I don't think its such a good idea to have a gun … in the glove compartment. Cause chances are, if it's there, sooner or later, you're gonna use it — 'course, then again, what are you gonna do when someone cuts you off on the freeway? Just let them go? Yeah — you pretty much have to shoot them, y'know, otherwise they won't learn nothin'.“

— Jim Carrey

„I enjoy my life. The fame part of it freaked me out for a little while, and there are definitely times when it's not so great to be special and known by everybody — you know, when you're wearing the wrong thing, or just in a vulnerable place. But I'm good with my life now.“
