It’s exhausting I think to just say really yes to everything for real, even if you do it for a day.
It’s our intention. Our intention is everything. Nothing happens on this planet without it. Not one single thing has ever been accomplished without intention.
I like challenges and I don’t believe in failure. I don’t believe in regrets. I believe suffering, failure – all those concepts – are things that are absolutely necessary to make us the best people that we can be, the best at whatever we want to do.
Most of the time I live with my pain. I have pain but I won’t show it around. I think that’s the nobility of the character. There’s something noble in not spewing on people all the time about your problems. I’m the light guy, so I identified.
I wanted to be a veterinarian for about a week of my life when I was a kid. But I found out about the whole euthanasia thing and I said, I can’t commit to that, sorry!
Comedy started out as my hobby and then it became my profession. It’s like being on call all the time, like having a built-in beeper. You can’t just leave the office and relax because you never know when you’ll think of something funny.
I just wanna hang out. No big deal!
The inner child runs rampant. They’re just smaller, that’s all.
I have been the guy who has everything but yet is so one-track minded about what I want, that I can’t see my blessings.
Every character I do is something special to me. Every time you score with a great character relationship in a movie, it becomes your baby.
I don’t think you can know God unless you’re passionate about him so you’re either screaming at him, enraptured with the idea of being around him or feeling him in your life.
Hysterical in The Mask; funny yet moving in The Truman Show.
I hope everybody could get rich and famous...
One of my mission statements with all of my art has been to stop the world for people. I want to stop the worrying and stop the world.
Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you.
I have no limits! I cannot be contained because I’m the container.
Those times in life when you’re terrified are the mastery times.
The early bird gathers no moss! The rolling stone catches the worm.
Like most Catholic boys, I wanted to be Jesus Christ. I could never get the turn-the-other-cheek thing down, though.
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.
