I don't have a very 'masculine' taste in music. I get a lot of heat from my friends about that.

I don't need to be reminded that I was on 'Friends.' I remember - some of it, anyway.

There are two sides to being pigeonholed. There's, 'Oh, no, I'm going to be Chandler for the rest of my life,' but there's also the fact that getting to play Chandler opened up doors to me. It's now my job to find things that shake it up a little bit.

I was a guy who wanted to become famous. There was steam coming out of my ears, I wanted to be famous so badly. You want the attention, you want the bucks, and you want the best seat in the restaurant. I didn't think what the repercussions would be.

Trying to overcome addiction is one of the hardest things for a person to do. And the fact that I had to do it under the scrutiny of tabloid press at first made it seem even more difficult. But in fact, it oddly ended up being a plus. Because of the tabloid stuff, it wasn't like I could walk into a bar and order a drink.

When I die, I'd like 'Friends' to be listed behind 'helping people.'
Matthew Perry
Image
I have a huge interest in hockey because I grew up in Canada, where it's kind of the law that you love hockey.
Matthew Perry
Image
Like, my house has a nice view, because, you know, I was on 'Friends.'
Matthew Perry

As an actor, being on autopilot is the worst thing possible.
Matthew Perry
Image
I have a well-documented history of trouble with intimacy.
Matthew Perry
Image
If I hadn't had the experience of being famous, I would have searched for it my whole life. I would have just gone on and on trying to find it.
Matthew Perry
Image
I gravitate towards sort of broken characters who try to be better people.
Matthew Perry
Image
I've been accused of not really paying attention to a sentence unless my name comes up in it twice.
Matthew Perry
Image
It's tough to have a movie-star persona when you're on a show as successful as 'Friends.'
Matthew Perry
Image
To be a comedian, you have to have some darkness behind it. I certainly draw on my past, and it helps.

My feeling on therapy is it's a luxury, and if you're fortunate enough to get some smart people to talk to about life, then that's fortunate and you should go for it.
