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.

More quotes by Matthew Perry
As an actor, being on autopilot is the worst thing 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
After I got my first laugh on stage, I was hooked.
Matthew Perry
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!
Matthew Perry
I went to a high school that didn't have many people in it. There were, like, 60 people in my senior class. There was a group of cool kids and a group of really dorky kids, and I was probably the coolest of the really dorky kids.
Matthew Perry
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
When I die, I'd like 'Friends' to be listed behind 'helping people.'
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
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
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
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
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
I'm very, very jealous of guys who just go and decide to party and then can work the next day.
Matthew Perry
I have a well-documented history of trouble with intimacy.
Matthew Perry
When people try to take [smoking] away from me I say, 'hey, I stopped everything else.' But, I have to battle that one, too.
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
In high school, my prom date fooled around with another guy - on prom night!
Matthew Perry
I would always be the kid that got in trouble in school, that's for sure, for joking around.
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
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
