Quote

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.'

I have a well-documented history of trouble with intimacy.
Matthew Perry

In high school, my prom date fooled around with another guy - on prom night!
Matthew Perry

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
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
Image
I gravitate towards sort of broken characters who try to be better people.
Matthew Perry
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.

I think if you look back at all those great comedies on television in the past, it's all lovable losers that gathered together - 'Taxi' and 'Cheers,' 'Seinfeld' and 'Friends.'
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.

Image
Like, my house has a nice view, because, you know, I was on 'Friends.'
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'm very, very jealous of guys who just go and decide to party and then can work the next day.
Matthew Perry
Image
I'd say that on 'Friends' my character was the guy bouncing around the room. I'm no longer that guy, necessarily, in my life. I used to be. But I'm not now.
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 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.
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
I loved playing Chandler. I grew up playing that part.
Matthew Perry
Image
When I die, I'd like 'Friends' to be listed behind 'helping people.'
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
I'm glad that life isn't like a Christmas song, because if my friends and I were building a snowman and it suddenly came alive when we put a hat on it, I'd probably freak and stab it to death with an icicle.

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.
