"I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient..." — Jim Carrey

If I had never ventured beyond being a stand-up comic, then I would be sitting in my house today working on my Leonardo DiCaprio impression.

I'm a hard guy to live with. I'm like a caged animal. I'm up all night walking around the living room. It's hard for me to come down from what I do.

I used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I'd have a hairy conniption. I'd just go crazy.

My life is not unlike Truman's. I can't go anywhere.
