princess 1,712 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Carrey Opens Up About Depression imdb.com Actor Jim Carrey has opened up about his long-running battle with depression, describing it as a "low level of despair". The Canadian Liar Liar star admits he spent years on antidepressant drugs at a time when he was trying to convince the world that his life was good. In a 60 Minutes interview which aired in America, he says, "I was on Prozac for a long time. I'm not sure, it may have helped me out for a little bit. People stay on it forever. It felt like a low level of despair.. You're not getting any answers, but you're living okay and you can smile at the office." Carrey now stays away from coffee, cigarettes and Prozac. He adds, "I had to get off at a certain point, because I realized that everything's just okay." In the interview, Carrey also shows off his secret getaway up a hillside behind his Los Angeles mansion. He reveals, "This is where I hang out with Buddha and Krishna and all those guys. I'm a Buddhist, I'm a Muslim, I'm a Christian, I'm whatever you want me to be. It all comes down to the same thing." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rebelgirl 1 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 Carrey tells Americans to take a chill-pillSaturday January 28 2006 16:41 IST ANIWASHINGTON: America's funny man, actor Jim Carrey has a very serious message to his fellow countrymen - he wants them to sit back and learn how to enjoy their lives.The 'Bruce Almighty' star is apparently convinced that the changing American culture which emphasizes the importance of wealth and money, is not only destroying the American dream, but is also putting relationships and families in jeopardy.So, the Canadian-born actor is telling people to take a little time off and learn how to relax, instead on concentrating on making movie. "It (the American dream) used to be get a house, get a car, put your kids through school and save something for retirement. Now it's be Bill Gates or you lose. There's a ton of pressure on people growing up in America to have gargantuan success and it destroys relationships and affects the family. It's not just America, but it's very exaggerated here," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,712 Report post Posted June 9, 2006 Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey Couple Up Friday Jun 09, 2006 7:30am EST By Bryan Alexander people.com CREDIT: MICHAEL BUCKNER / GETTY; DAVID LIVINGSTON / GETTY First came the sightings, then the rumors. Now a source close to the two finally confirms it: Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy are indeed a couple. "They are very happy," the source tells PEOPLE. But even though the pair was spotted at an L.A. restaurant last month, don’t think they’re going public. When McCarthy, 33, was asked recently on The View if she was dating a "well-known comedian who makes funny faces," she replied, “No comment. Does that ever work?" Rumors that the two were an item have been percolating since late last year. When asked by PEOPLE at the December premiere of Fun With Dick and Jane whether he was seeing McCarthy, Carrey, 44, paused before saying: "I like her, she's a nice person." Reps for both stars declined to comment. McCarthy divorced her husband of five years, director John Asher, last year. She is currently promoting her newest book, Life Laughs: The Naked Truth About Motherhood, Marriage and Moving On. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something has to be different to allow them to create such wonderful things (art, music, science, comedy) Most people learn how to control their gift so they can function in society. Many have people who help them (family, managers, etc) but those who cannot control their "gift"--find themselves in a downward spiral (Belushi, Chris Farley) or whacked out and living in Bahrain (Michael Jackson, that one's for you!)

They are often always either totally hyper attention whores or (as Ted alluded to in his column once) completely depressed. The standup types are the worst. I think a lot of times the manic "on" stuff hides some serious issues. (Did you guys ever see Punchline? Love that movie and it does a good job exploring this issue)Although, for the record, when I met Steve Martin, he was extremely nice and down to earth (one of the hyper but nice types).

But ITA with the point that many of them also have issues which lead to the more manic mood swings. I'm rootin' for these two. I think she has a great sense of humor that could handle his 'other' side. The women he's been involved with before are great at what they do but personality wise - well, I could see where it would be a bad mix with Carrey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poofball 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 Don't so much have an opinion either way about Jim Carrey dating Jenny McCarthy. Have read little things here and there that she is a wild child (I guess who isn't in H-wood?) but she seems to have the same sense of humor as JC and at least she doesn't take herself too seriously. In the end though, there's just something about her that's kind of groddy, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
