Fascinating dive into the lives of Andy Kaufman and Jim Carrey.
Jim is such a charming and lovable person, but in the Andy Kaufman biopic he was just insufferable as a person, and a genius as an actor, as he pushed things to a whole different level.
I can't really appreciate the importance and impact that Andy had in the media industry, as it was way before my time.
But peeking at Jim's life was truly fascinating, namely at the approach and mindset he took in order to reach his dreams.
Yet, it was fascinating to hear his "confession" that he was able to get all he ever wanted and more, and still be unhappy in life.

Jim Carrey: And then I'd go home, and I'd lay on my bed and I'd think "What do they want?
What do they want? What do they want?" It wasn't what I wanted. I knew what I wanted. I wanted to be successful, I wanted to be a famous actor. But, "What do they want?
What do they want? What do they want?" and then one day, in the middle of the night, I woke up out of a sound sleep, sat up in bed and went "They want to be free from concern."

Jim Carrey: [reflecting back at his childhood experiences on wishing for and visualizing things to happen] From then on it was whenever I wanted something to happen, I manifested it. I stood there in an open field like this with my arms out going "I'm ready. Come on."
...
Jim Carrey: I'm the guy who wrote the 10 million dollar check to himself and had it come to fruition.
...
Jim Carrey: [on Oprah's show] I wrote myself a check for 10 million dollars, for acting services rendered, and I gave myself 5 years. ... Just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out that I was going to make 10 million dollars.

Jim Carrey: At some point when you create yourself to make it, you're going to have to either let that creation go and take a chance on being loved or hated for who you really are, or you're going to have to kill who you really are, and fall into your grave grasping a character you never were. [the documentary then cuts to the last scene of The Mask where the character throws the mask away as the girl chooses to stay with the office worker instead of the super powerful deity]

Jim Carrey: [talking about his father] ... but you know in order to be something special you had to leave Canada and come down to the States and prove yourself in the States. He was a little bit afraid of that transition, and also he had a family to take care of, so he became an accountant. And as time went on, it wore him down, you know, and he got a little bit bitter, especially when he lost his job when he was 51. Uh, that really broke him. Not only was he compromising to raise a family, but when you compromise and you fail, it really hurts. It hurts even more than failing at what you love. So that was an example for me.

Jim Carrey: I learned that you can fail at what you don't love, so you might as well do what you love. There's really no choice to be made.

Jim Carrey: I've stepped through the door, and the door is the realization that this, us, is Seaside. Its the dome, this is the dome. This isn't real. This is a story. There is the avatar you create, and the cadence you come up with, that is pleasing to people, and takes them away from their issues, and it makes you popular, and then at some point you have to peel it away. And, you know, it's not who you are. At some point you have to live, you know, your true man. You know Truman Show really became a prophecy for me. It is constantly reaffirming itself as a teaching almost, as a real representation of what I've gone through in my career, and what everyone goes through when they create themselves, you know, to be popular or successful. And it's not just show business. It's Wall Street, it's anywhere. You go to the office and you put a monkey suit on, and you act a certain way, say a certain thing, and lie through your teeth at times, and you do whatever you need to do to look like a winner, you know. And at some point of your life, you have to go, "I don't care what it looks like." You know, "I found the hole in the psyche and I'm going through, and I'm going to face the abyss of not knowing whether that's gonna be okay with everybody or not," you know. And at times, just like the movie, they try to drown you in the middle of that abyss. They go, "No, be the other guy. You told us you were this guy. You told us you were Andy. You told us you were Tony Clifton." You know, no one can live with that forever.

Producer: Do you feel like you'd be in the same place that you're at now in your life if you hadn't played Andy?
Jim Carrey: Uh, well no. Butterfly effect, man, you know. Would've been somewhere completely different. But the choices make you, you know. I'm not a big believer in free will either so... You know, I pick up the tea because I'm thirsty. Is that free will? Or am I thirsty? What told me to pick up the tea?
