Thats 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 theyd be like, Yeah, big deal. Id eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money youre pulling down. – Jim Carrey
I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal. – Jim Carrey
