ADD QUOTES
- Jim Carrey: (discussing a bungee jump he had performed for "Yes Man") I was gonna do it sooner or later. You might as well get it on film, right? I mean, in the days of reality television, c'mon! Everything should be filmed! I am having a cyst removed next week. I've created a show around it: Celebrity Cyst.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jim Carrey: (talking about Jenny McCarthy's anxieties about raising an autistic son) I call it a nervous breakthrough... I think people have ways of hiding their emotions; people think their emotions are ugly. But when she finally broke down... I don't think she had ever done that in her entire life. Her therapist said there was anger there because she felt guilty for giving her son autism... To feel that guilt is the beginning of a healing process.

- Jim Carrey: (regarding his chances at 1997 Golden Globes) It`s insane! I mean, Nicholson, Hoffman, Jackson, Kline - I don`t see how I can lose!
