funny laughter eye
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
failing what-you-love
It’s Better to Fail at What You Love Than Fail at What You Don’t.
dream father dumb
I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb & Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together.
dream guy important
I feel like I've lived the dream for sure, I'm the luckiest guy in the world and I never forget that. I always feel like I'm proof of positive thought and manifestation, and that faith is more important than talent. But if you have both you're really doing something.
two laughing people
I'm not always looking for the laugh. I'm not the guy who sits in and listens to conversations and wants to jump in with something hilarious every two seconds. I actually do listen to people.
dream giving-up starving
If you give up on your dreams, what's left?
anniversary good-love years
A lot of good love can happen in ten years.
beautiful heart two
You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world. You will only ever have two choices- love or fear. Choose love, and don't ever let fear turn you against your playful heart
graduation-speech currency valuable
The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.
jobs security-guards poverty
My family kinda hit the skids. We were experiencing poverty at that point. We all got a job, where the whole family had to work as security guards and janitors. And I just got angry.
father doing-what-you-love lessons
I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which, was that you can fail at what you don't want so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love
going-away want pressure
I don't feel any pressure to be funny at all. I'm funny because I want to be funny. I could sit here and be serious for an hour and you would go away and make me much funnier than I am.
player
Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much!
people trying limits
Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don't limit myself.
