There are two thoughts that will ensure success in all you do; (1) Don't tell everything you know, and (2) until Ace Ventura, no actor had considered talking through his ass.
I cannot be contained because I am the container.
I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting.
When the first big paycheque with 'Dumb And Dumber' hit, I went: 'Gosh, I wonder if this will affect my performance. Will I do a take and think, was that worth $7 million?' But that never happened. If anything, it made me rebel against that thing when people who get rich start playing it safe.
Every character is a baby. You can't choose between them. If you can, you didn't do your job. You have to fall in love with every character.
I don't think anybody should go through life without a team of psychologists. I have been through times when I'm literally squatting in the living room, having one of those open-throated cries, where you're crying all the way to your butthole. I always believed I would come out of it, though.
But I refuse to believe that I am a better actor than myself.
Hysterical in The Mask; funny yet moving in The Truman Show.
As far as I can tell, it's just about letting the universe know what you want and then working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass.
Don't you just hate it, when you are in bed with three beautiful women, and the least attractive one whispers: save it for me!
I don't remember yesterday. I pretty much live in the moment.
I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.
I've always believed that you can funnel good things toward yourself by thinking positiviely.
I just love to skate. When I put a skate on the ice, I'm free from the world, and I have no problems at all. I am a bird!
I love the idea that 'a person is a person no matter how small'.
Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.
People need motivation to do anything. I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation.
All i want to make sure of is that she's doing something she loves. watch your kids when they sit down and absolutely get lost in something. maybe that's what they should be doing-the thing they're dying to do all the time.
Psychologically, it's what I love to be. Tearing apart a person from the inside out.
Humor is not debatable. It's like sex. Either you're aroused or you're not. Nobody can reason you around to their point of view.
