"When the first big paycheque with 'Dumb And Dumber' hit, I went: 'Gosh, I wonder if this will affect my performance. Will I do a take and think, was that worth $7 million?' But that never happened. If anything, it made me rebel against that thing when people who get rich start playing it safe"

Jim Carrey is assessing his experience of becoming financially effective after the release of the movie "Dumb and Dumber". He is revealing his surprise at how his newfound wealth did not affect his performance. He was stressed that he would end up being contented and start playing it safe, but rather he discovered himself rebelling versus that idea. He is recommending that money does not always result in complacency, but can instead provide inspiration and drive. He is also recommending that it is important to remain true to oneself and not let cash modification who you are. This quote is a reminder that money does not need to be a source of insecurity, however can rather be a source of strength and inspiration.
