…I know that I can survive. I’ll walk through fire to save my life. I want it, I want my life so bad. I’m doing everything I can.
Sia, Elastic Heart (via music-and-quotes)
What’s on the other side is everything
“Once I had left Andy, and I tried to figure it out what the hell “I am” again, I just didn’t want to go back to being Andy again. I didn’t know who I was anymore…I didn’t know what my politics were, I couldn’t remember what I was about. Suddenly I was so unhappy, and I realized I was back in my problems, I was back in my heartbreak. Suddenly, I thought to myself,
“You felt so good when you were ‘being’ Andy, cause you were free from yourself. You were on a vacation from being Jim Carrey. You stepped through the door not know what was on the otherside, and what’s on the other side is everything. EVERYTHING.”
There’s a feeling of relief from this vehicle that’s traveling through space trying to grasp on to stuff, like fucking countries and religions and I find it all so abstract. “Why am I an American?” “Why am I a Canadian?” What is that? What does that mean? Someone put a line down and said: “This is that.” You know, we are so much more.
We are born into a family and we are told what our family name is. Then your parents chose a name and they say “Your name will be Joel, it means the awesomeness of Yahweh, and you have to live up to that, dude, and we’re counting on you not to make us look good, and you have to go to Havard, and you’re going to be a doctor, and by the way you’re a Catholic” or you’re a Jew or you are whatever you are.
All these things are these abstract structures that you’ve been given and it’s supposed to hold you together somehow.
I have just given them up. I don’t need to be held together. I am fine just floating through space, just flying 6000 miles an hour around the sun, balancing on tectonic plates which are floating on lava, ready for the end times, or whatever the hell is going to happen. I am just great. That’s all great.
You’re on a spiritual journey, period. We are all going to end up in the same place— if there is such a thing. And maybe there isn’t. Maybe there is just this, it’s just me and the teacup and that’s it. It’s just us.
We’re the universe.
I like that. That’s fine.”
-Jim Carrey, on the after effect of playing Andy Kauffman in Man on the Moon.
