他說，每當自己想放棄在演藝圈出人頭地的夢想時，老是會想到洛尼丹吉菲爾德 （Rodney Dangerfield），他在這一行沈浮多年才出類拔粹。
金凱瑞回述：「我在夜總會表演單口相聲長達十五年。有時候唯一讓我撐下去的力量，就是想到羅尼 丹格菲三十歲時退出，四十歲又重返影壇，並且非常成功。大紅大紫。影藝圈的常態幾乎必然是青春比演技吃香，不過他絕對是想要名留青史永不太遲最好的證明。 也許你不得不暫時退場改行，可是不需要放棄自己的夢想。實現夢想沒有絕對完美的時機，還不如現在就開始著手。否則明年你又老了一歲，離夢想也沒有更進一 步。」
Movie star Jim Carrey met challenges and discouragement early in his career as a stand-up comedian. He explains that when he felt like giving up on his dream to make it in the entertainment industry, he would think about Rodney Dangerfield, who struggled for decades before he reached the top of his profession. " I did stand-op in clubs for fifteen years," recalls Carrey, "and sometimes the only thing that kept me going was the thought that Rodney had dropped out of the business when he was thirty but had come back and made it big when he was in his forties. Made it big. In a business that almost always values youth over talent, he was... absolute proof that it's never too late to make your mark. You may have to quit for a while and sell some aluminum siding, but you don't have to give up your dream." Link
Jim Carrey’s Check. As a struggling young comedian trying to make it in the make or break city of Hollywood, Jim Carrey was just about ready to give up his dream of becoming a professional actor and comedian. He had just performed at an open mic session at one of the nightclubs in Los Angeles and had been booed off the stage by his audience. He sat by himself at the top of Mulholand Drive and looked out at the city below him—the city that held his future success or failure. He then pulled out his check book and wrote himself a check for $10 million dollars and made a note on it: “for acting services rendered.” He then carried that check with him in his wallet everywhere he went from that day forward. By 1995, after the success of his blockbuster movies: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber, and The Mask, his contract price had risen to the price of $20 million dollars.
