Charlie Rose: An hour with actor Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey: You have to allow yourself to be seen. That’s the risk. The risk is, especially for someone who is comedic, who has that… that weapon at his disposal…

Charlie Rose: Just to go off into a rift…

JC: Yeah, to risk being seen is the toughest thing in the world. We are all very shy people, you know, people who do comedy. We’re shy and the emotion is right there on the surface. If you prick me with a pin I would fly around the room. You know, so ah, that’s the risk. You’re showing them yourself . Your true authentic self and the chances of being rejected, uh, are much more important. You know, much more, terrifying.
