Jim Carrey was born in Ontario Canada on January 17, 1962. His name is James Eugene Carrey. He became a U.S. citizen in 2004 and was the first performer to receive $20 million for his part in the 1996 film The Cable Guy. Yet, at one time Carrey and his family fought working 8 hour night shifts in a factory and residing from a camper van. A brief time afterwards, in 1979, he moved to LA and landed a regular show atThe Comedy Store. Nicole Kidman has said Carrey was her best male friend. Carrey was also greatly respected by late rapper Tupac Shakur whom Carrey wrote to while the rapper served prison time to maintain his spirits up. Carrey has one daughter and is a vegetarian.
Just how much is Jim Carrey’s Net Worth? $150 Million!
During one of his shows the infamous Rodney Dangerfield saw and recruited Carrey to be his opening act on tour. Feeling like he didn’t wish to be a lounge performance for the remainder of his life, Carrey chose to audition for parts and got a part in a television show, The Duck Factory, in 1984 that ended up falling flat. But, the expertise gave Carrey the bravery he needed to pursue more playing parts. Wayans was so impressed with all the Carrey he urged him to his brother Keenan Ivory Wayans for In Living Color. In 1994 Carrey had major success with his first major feature film character,Ace Ventura Pet Detective in 1994. A character he meticulously rehearsed for and poured himself into. HE went onto create other smash hits like ‘Liar Liar’ and ‘Dumb and Dumber’ showing he was a bankable star. No other star has won more MTV movie awards than Carrey. Carrey has additionally taken home 2 gold globe awards — paradoxically for serious characters (Truman and Man to the Moon) showing he’s playing range beyond his well known comedic flavor. His first million dollar plus pay out came in 1994 with Dumb & Dumber ($7 million), but also for his component in The Cable Guy in 1996 Carrey became the highest paid performer on the planet at that time as well as the primary performer to break $20,000,000.00 for one movie. Julia Roberts became the very first performer to accomplish the feat four years after. To get location to put Carrey has a Mercedes Benz SL63 as well as a Gulf stream V. Not too shabby for a man that used to live in a camper van. Success nicely deserved!

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | So many of us chose our path out of fear disguised as practicality. My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that was possible for him. So, he made a conservative choice and instead he got a job as an accountant. When I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job. Our family had to do whatever we could to survive. I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which is that you can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love. |
| 2 | These mass shootings and daily body counts are an invitation for us to become more civilized and to deal with our addiction and entitlement to violence. Not to shut our eyes and ears and scream at those with a different opinion than ours to 'fuck off and go back to Canada'. |
| 3 | [on Ireland] I love the whole culture, obviously. You have the best musicians, the best poets. Great artists come out of Ireland. |
| 4 | My focus is to forget the pain, mock the pain, reduce it. |
| 5 | (2001, on his first comedy show) My mother dressed me in a polyester suit, and I got booed off the stage, and I didn't go back for two years. But then when I went back, I was gangbusters. |
| 6 | I was always trying to make my mother laugh because she was sick or depressed or whatever. Many comics start out by trying to heal their family. That's how you get good. Your drunken grandparents leave and you turn around as a seven-year-old child and imitate them. That is how it began for me, bringing comic relief to my family. It really is comic relief, people don't just want to see it, they need it. I need it more than they do and that is why I am on this side of the camera because I am a really needy person. |
| 7 | It is as if I am starting out every time I make a film. And I swear to you I don't feel any more secure than I used to, or jaded in any way. There was a moment when I thought 'I am not sure I want to be part of this big thing that is Hollywood.' I looked at it cynically for a minute. Then I sat on my couch and realized the value of what I do. We free people from concern. It is what everyone needs in this day and age. There is nothing better and it started out that way. |
| 8 | Even if I am being over the top or crazy, I want to do something original. There is nothing that makes me happier than when someone says: 'I watched The Mask (1994) 300 times when I was a kid.' I look forward to when I am 80 and people come up to me going: 'It was you, dude.' That's an amazing feeling. |
| 9 | (1996) I dyed my hair black just before I started shooting The Cable Guy (1996) and immediately got completely in the doldrums. I couldn't lift myself out of it, because every time I looked in the mirror, I didn't like myself. It definitely put me in a weird place. |
| 10 | (1996) I'm just a freak like the rest of us. I'd say I've had an even flow of neediness through my whole life, and I got kind of clever about it early. I remember starting out imitating records in the back of the classroom, and when the teacher singled me out and tried to make me feel embarrassed by saying, 'Get up and do that in front of the whole class,' it marked the end of all normal life. I got up, did it in front of the whole class and learned that committing myself to getting a reaction was very addicting. For sure, I have an unnatural need to be noticed or liked. But I don't necessarily gear everything to an audience, going, 'What are they going to want?', I'm not afraid to become a different thing, because I believe talent finds its audience. It's just like The Beatles. They didn't stay put. They changed, made a lot of enemies, lost fans, gained new ones. |
| 11 | (1996) Money doesn't faze me at all. It goes into an account and then I basically do what I need to do with it. The money takes a little of your fear away-you know, fear of the future. This country is pretty scary if you don't build some kind of nest egg for yourself. I don't go buy Maseratis, because I've never been impressed with stuff like that at all. I'll probably end up with two houses, someplace to escape to and someplace in the city, I'm pretty basic. I understand the dynamic of people who medicate themselves with things, but it always seemed hollow to me. |
| 12 | (1996, on $20 million paydays) See, the number in the paper is one thing, but then there's 35 percent off the top for commissions, then there's taxes, so the $20 million check becomes $5.5 million. That's amazing money, but it's not $20 million. Believe me, I don't gloat about the money. People have lost fortunes that make mine look microscopic. You can never count on it for sure. People that do that are asking for trouble. |
| 13 | (1996, on choosing projects) Very rarely do I jump up and say on my own, 'I must do this!' I have a lot of people who look at material and give me their opinions. It's like the President-he doesn't make a move without his aides, which is a smart way to be if you trust the opinions of the people on your team. |
| 14 | The best possible thing you can get out of a relationship is that you're with somebody who encourages you to be the best version of yourself. |
| 15 | If there'd been Ritalin when I was a kid, I wouldn't be here now. |
| 16 | The power of the subconscious mind! With the power of the sub-conscious mind I can learn how to do anything...I could...learn how to dance, or, yodel like an Austrian. |
| 17 | [on being asked what his personal motto is] Always turn your wheel in the direction of the skid. |
| 18 | [after recording a cover of The Beatles' "I Am the Walrus"] There! I did it! I defiled a timeless work of art! For my next trick, I will paint a clown face on the Mona Lisa while using the shroud of Turin as a dropcloth. |
| 19 | I have no intention of giving up my Canadian heritage, and all those who loved and supported me. My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian. |
| 20 | I don't believe in this fairy tale of staying together for ever. Ten years with somebody is enough. In ten years, you can give a lot of love. |
| 21 | I'm charming, but I dip into the Prozac now and then. |
| 22 | That's the trouble with being me. At this point, nobody gives a damn what my problem is. I could literally have a tumor on the side of my head and they'd be like, 'Yeah, big deal. I'd eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money you're pulling down. |
| 23 | Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches. |
| 24 | I've been dubbed the man most responsible for the dumbing of America, so obviously I don't put much stock into thoughts like (the theme of the 'dumbing down' of contemporary comedy). People love to laugh, and most people can find humor in just about anything, which is great. Trying to label or categorize comedy is ridiculous. I mean, if you laugh at a fart joke, does that make you a moron? I don't think so. |
| 25 | [about his chances of winning at the 1998 Golden Globes Awards] It's insane . . . I mean, [Jack Nicholson], [Dustin Hoffman], [Samuel L. Jackson], [Kevin Kline]--I don't see how I can lose. |
| 26 | Until Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), no actor had considered talking through his ass. |
| 27 | I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of day when I'm alone and I don't have to be on, performing. |

| 48 | Bought a Harley Davidson motorcycle and got a vanity license plate for it which read "NO TAG" as a joke. This resulted in Jim receiving numerous traffic tickets in the mail that were meant for other people. As it turns out, when filling out a ticket, police officers write "no tag" in the license plate number slot on the ticket when the offending vehicle has no license plate.
