Quotes
 Actually,
as a kid I wanted to be a tennis player, but I wasn't good enough, so I
became an actor. Since then, I've just been lip-locking with gorgeous
babes. So, let that be a lesson to all you little tennis players out
there.
After
I got my first laugh on stage, I was hooked.
As
an actor, being on autopilot is the worst thing possible.
Chandler's
the guy everybody thinks will do well with women, but he thinks too much
and says the wrong thing.
Everything
is just falling into place for me right now. I just turned 30, which I
thought I was going to be bummed about, but I'm not.
I
can tell if someone is talking to me because I'm on "Friends"
or cause they just think I'm neat. You know I don't think I've ever
spent more than five or ten minutes with somebody who was ogling me
because they recognized me from the show.
I
love the idea of "the one" but I actually believe that there
isn't a Miss Right. There are 12,000 Miss Rights out there and it's all
timing.
I
realized by the time I turned 30, which happened this year, that I would
be going out with girls and they would think I was really funny, but I
would know absolutely nothing about them. I decided that's just not the
way to go. I have tried to listen more and get to know the person I'm
with.
I
really lived life to its fullest and that got me in trouble from time to
time.
I
used to be a real prince charming if I went on a date with a girl. But
then I'd get to where I was likely to have a stroke from the stress of
keeping up my act. I've since learned the key to a good date is to pay
attention on her.
I
was like: I'm going to ask Julia
Roberts out but I'm going to be very nervous about it. Then she said
yes, I got even more nervous.
I
was the coolest guy of the non-cool crowd.
I'm
a sensitive guy. If you are a woman and you're in any kind of emotional
duress and you write a song about it, I'll buy you album.
I'm
obviously comfortable with my feminine side! I didn't have any
reservations playing a gay guy as it was kind of a neat idea to me. I'm
able to drop all the crappy male stuff of trying to impress the girl and
get her into bed, because she thinks I'm gay.
I've
just found out there are pages on the internet dedicated to whether I'm
gay or not.
If
there's a silence in a room I'll try to fill it as soon as humanly
possible.
The
funniest thing is when somebody says "Look I've no idea who you are
but my friend said you are on a show and I just wanted to introduce
myself" you know that they are lying! Those people can just get out
of my way.
The
goal is to have to do the shot again because the camera guy shook a
little bit as he was laughing. Without that happening, I'm not happy
because there's nothing better for me than a world that everybody's just
trying to make each other laugh.
The
key to sitcom success is miserable people. If you see a happy couple,
it's just gone, like when Sam and Diane got together on Cheers.
There
are two ways to go when you hit that crossroads in your life: There is
the bad way, when you sort of give up, and then there is the really hard
way, when you fight back. I went the hard way and came out of it okay.
Now, I'm sitting here and doing great.
Vicodin,
I got addicted to that little pill. The reason I don't talk about it too
much in the press is because it isn't funny, and I love to be funny in
interviews. If you joke about that period in your life, it doesn't seem
right.
Well,
I was lucky enough to be involved in about 19 failures at an early age,
so I'm realistic about the success I'm having and how quickly it can go
away. What's important is to be smart about it.
When
I read the script of Chandler, I thought WOW I can really shake hands
with this guy. Chandlers a sarcastic guy, dry, funny - a guy who's not
comfortable unless he's joking and hiding the emotional stuff that's
going on with him. And Yeah, I can relate to that a bit.
I
learned to fall down early in life - I was like six - because I realized
it was a way to make girls laugh.
