“I really like my quiet life and I really like putting paint on canvas and I really love my spiritual life and I feel like — and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists — I have enough,” the comedian, 60, told Access Hollywood on Thursday, March 31. “I’ve done enough. I am enough.”
After noting that he is “probably” retiring, the Canada native explained, “It depends, if the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break.”

The How the Grinch Stole Christmas star also has a comedy special coming out in June with Chris Rock, John Stamos and more stars in honor of Bob Saget. Earlier this week, Carrey sided with Rock, 57, after Will Smith slapped him across the face at the Academy Awards.
“I was sickened,” the Grammy nominee said of the incident during a CBS Mornings appearance on Tuesday, March 29. “I was sickened by the standing ovation [when Smith later won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.] I felt like Hollywood is just spineless en masse. It really felt like, ‘Oh, this is a really clear indication that we’re not the cool club anymore.’”
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum, 53, “should have been” arrested, the Truman Show star said at the time, adding, “[Rock] didn’t want the hassle, [but] I’d have announced this morning that I was suing Will for $200 million, because that video is gonna be there forever, it’s gonna be ubiquitous. That insult is gonna last a very long time.”
