In The Truman Show, Jim Carrey plays an insurance salesman who goes about living his life until one day he finds out everything he thought was real is one big reality TV show. The movie allows you to ponder how you’d live differently if you knew every action you took was publicly documented (and in 2020, we’re living in some form of this reality). Here’s a collection of some of the best quotes from the film.

Truman Show Quotes from Christof

“Cue the sun!”

Christof

“Where you going, Truman?”

Christof

“We’ve become bored with watching actors give us phony emotions. We are tired of pyrotechnics and special effects. While the world he inhabits is, in some respects, counterfeit, there’s nothing fake about Truman himself. No scripts, no cue cards. It isn’t always Shakespeare, but it’s genuine. It’s a life.”

Christof

“We accept the reality of the world with which we’re presented. It’s as simple as that.”

Christof

“You were real. That’s what made you so good to watch. There is no more truth out there than there is in the world I created for you. The same lies, the same deceit. But in my world, you have nothing to fear.”

Christof

“Everything on the show is for sale. The actor’s wardrobe, food products, to the very homes they live in.”

Christof

“I have given the chance for Truman to lead a normal life. The world, the place you live in, is the sick place. Seahaven is the way the world should be.”

Christof

“Talk to me. Say something. Well, say something, goddamn it. You’re on television. You’re live to the whole world.”

Christof

“How can anyone expect me to carry on under these conditions? It’s unprofessional!”

Meryl

“Why don’t you let me fix you some of this Mococoa drink? All natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua. No artificial sweeteners.”

Meryl

Truman Show Quotes from Marlon

“It’s a lot of world for one man, Truman. Are you sure that’s not wishful thinking? You wishing you’d made something more of yourself.”

Marlon

“Look at that sunset, Truman. It’s perfect…that’s the Big Guy. Quite a paintbrush he’s got.”

Marlon

“It’s all true. It’s all real. Nothing here is fake. Nothing you see on this show is fake. It’s merely controlled.”

Marlon

Other Truman Show Quotes

“You never see anything anyway. They always turn the camera and play music and you know, the wind blows in and the curtain moves and you don’t see anything.”

Security Guard

“We can’t let him die in front of a live audience!”

Network Executive

“One point seven billion were there for his birth. 220 countries tuned in for his first step. The world stood still for that stolen kiss. And as he grew, so did technology. An entire human life, recorded on an intricate network of hidden cameras and broadcasted live and uninterrupted 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to an audience around the globe.”

TV Host

“Before we begin, I’d like to thank you on behalf of our audience for granting this exclusive interview. We know how demanding your schedule is and we all know how jealously you guard your privacy.”

Sylvia

“He’s not a performer, he’s a prisoner. Look at him, look at what you’ve done to him!”

Sylvia
