The purpose of my life had always been to free people from concern. What’s yours? How will you serve the world? What do they need that your talent can provide? That’s all you have to figure out. . . . The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is. Because everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.

Additional quotes by Jim Carrey

Chaplin had not merely impressed but formed him. Showed him how any gesture — a kiss, playing with some bread rolls — can be freed from the mundane, imbued with magic. Charlie Chaplin was always turning caterpillars into butterflies. He had used comedy to reveal, and not flee, the truth of the human predicament. He’d roller-skated blindfolded over the void, like a planet circling a black hole. He filmed a factory worker sucked into a machine, fed through its cogs and gears, assailing an age that turns people into things. And Charlie Chaplin had battled the bleak world with — what? Not a knife, not a gun. A cane. Gentle, gestural, the baton of a maestro. Chaplin’s cane, with no disrespect to Hockney, Picasso, or Basquiat, was, in this moment, what Jim Carrey most wanted to save.

And I wondered, who is it that’s aware that I’m thinking? And suddenly I was thrown into this amazing feeling of freedom. I was no longer a fragment of the universe, I was the universe.”
~Jim Carrey
