"Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes."

Explanation: In this humorous quote, the actor is playing on the traditional saying that behind every successful man is a great woman.

By great, most assume a partner who supports a man in all his whims, good or bad.

To make it more realistic, Carrey implies that men while striving for success are prone to develop an inflated ego and may engage in frivolities. However, a great woman on his side keeps his temperament in check by not boosting his absurdities with excessive praise and admiration.

While the world sees him with impressed eyes, a supportive partner keeps him grounded. She isn't flattered with what she sees on the outside but is more interested in his inner world.

The woman rolling her eyes is the one who sees a man's true self beneath the social persona.

When she knows him for who he is, she helps him grow as a person, giving him reality checks from time to time. When others call his ideas monumental, she gauges his actions and behaviour towards the goal.

This grounding encourages him to strive even harder in life.
