To be a comedian, you have to have some darkness behind it. I certainly draw on my past, and it helps.

More quotes by Matthew Perry
When I die, I'd like 'Friends' to be listed behind 'helping people.'
Matthew Perry
As an actor, being on autopilot is the worst thing possible.
Matthew Perry
When I was younger, I used humour as a tool to avoid getting too serious with people - if there was deep emotional stuff going on, then I would crack a joke to defuse the situation.
Matthew Perry
Like, my house has a nice view, because, you know, I was on 'Friends.'
Matthew Perry
I became a big Kings fan, and then later on my hometown of Ottawa got a team, so then I was very, very torn. I just love both of those teams very much.
Matthew Perry
Women always think that I'm Chandler, so if I don't joke around for half an hour they think that something's wrong. Then I explain that I don't have comedy writers scripting everything I'm saying at this particular dinner.
Matthew Perry
In high school, my prom date fooled around with another guy - on prom night!
Matthew Perry
My sense of style is an old Polo shirt, jeans and, unfortunately for the longest time, white running shoes, which was not attractive. The one thing I've learned about clothes is to ask a girl.
Matthew Perry
In television or a movie I bring my own ego and consequently can mess up. In the theatre I learnt very quickly to shut up and listen. Now I am able to get out of my own way.
Matthew Perry
I got sober because I was worried I was going to die next year.
Matthew Perry
I'm just glad that the whole John Wayne persona of a man is sort of old school now, because I'd never be able to do that. If that was the going rate today, I wouldn't be working.
Matthew Perry
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.
Matthew Perry
If there's a silence in a room I'll try to fill it as soon as humanly possible.
Matthew Perry
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.
Matthew Perry
I have a dark side it's been pretty well documented. It wouldn't be bad to show that in some light in my work...It's something I no longer fear doing and am actually excited about doing.
Matthew Perry
I don't have a very 'masculine' taste in music. I get a lot of heat from my friends about that.
Matthew Perry
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.
Matthew Perry
'The Whole Nine Yards' I liked right away. It was kind of a dark comedy at first. And just the idea of being in a movie with Bruce Willis was pretty exciting.
Matthew Perry
So I'm reading a book on my new iPad, but can't the iPad read it for me? Do I have to do everything?
Matthew Perry
They say that women like a man who can make them laugh, and I find that if you can make a woman laugh on the first and second dates, then you're doing well.
Matthew Perry
