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.

More quotes by Matthew Perry

Image
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
Image
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
Image
If there's a silence in a room I'll try to fill it as soon as humanly possible.
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
When I die, I'd like 'Friends' to be listed behind 'helping people.'
Matthew Perry
Image
Like, my house has a nice view, because, you know, I was on 'Friends.'
Matthew Perry
Image
I learned a valuable lesson doing 'Mr. Sunshine,' which is that I didn't want to be in charge because it's too much. Being in charge and acting in every scene was just too difficult. It's like eating dinner in a moving golf cart every night.

Image
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.
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
The thing that I'm most proud of in my life is that if a stranger came up to me and said, 'I can't stop drinking. I can't stop drinking. Can you help me?' I can say, 'Yes, I can help you.'
Matthew Perry
Image
I always have the same thing - which is the fear of not getting a laugh - that I've had from the time I was a kid obsessing over, 'This joke doesn't quite work, we've got to get this right.' I was always like that, whether I was a member of a six-person ensemble or whether I'm the center of a show.
Matthew Perry
Image
I gravitate towards sort of broken characters who try to be better people.
Matthew Perry
Image
As an actor, being on autopilot is the worst thing possible.
Matthew Perry
Image
To be a comedian, you have to have some darkness behind it. I certainly draw on my past, and it helps.
Matthew Perry
Image
After I got my first laugh on stage, I was hooked.
Matthew Perry
Image
I am fine with the fact that some of my hair is gray. If it was all gray overnight, that would be a scary thing.
Matthew Perry
Image
I got sober because I was worried I was going to die next year.
Matthew Perry
Image
I would always be the kid that got in trouble in school, that's for sure, for joking around.
Matthew Perry
Image
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
Image
I certainly like the rumour that I was the father of Elizabeth Hurley's baby. It made me think I could impregnate women in a different way to everyone else. Elizabeth and I were never alone in a room together, so I must be a very powerful man indeed. Actually, I'm thinking of suing the baby!
