My dad was like a stage mother he always pushed me to do what I wanted. – Jim Carrey

My mother was a professional sick person she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. Its just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember shes the daughter of alcoholics whod leave her alone at Christmas time. – Jim Carrey
I dont think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you aint desperate at some point, you aint interesting. – Jim Carrey
My mother and dad were big animal lovers, too. I just dont know how I would have lived without animals around me. Im fascinated by them – both domestic pets and the wild community. They just are the most interesting things in the world to me, and its made such a difference in my lifetime. – Betty White
