stars successful tough
It's tough to have a movie-star persona when you're on a show as successful as 'Friends.'
nice views house
Like, my house has a nice view, because, you know, I was on 'Friends.'
believe rights matter
I used to believe in a "Ms. Right", but now i know there is like 4 million "Ms. Rights" and it is just a matter of which one you meet first.
white three four
I've been on a show before where I was on a billboard and then, after like three or four weeks, they took the billboard down and replaced it with nothing. Took my face down and put a white board up.
party jealous next-day
I'm very, very jealous of guys who just go and decide to party and then can work the next day.
song alive icicles
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.
dark ideas nine
'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.
school men able
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.
inspirational sobriety ifs
The thing is, if I don't have sobriety, I don't have anything.
people helping behinds
When I die, I'd like' Friends' to be listed behind 'helping people.'
smart important going-away
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.
baby powerful father
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!
recovery thinking doctors
I think we need to educate our doctors about addiction.
giving-up fighting two
There are two ways to go when you hit that crossroads in your life: There is the bad way, when you sort of give up, and then there is the really hard way, when you fight back. I went the hard way and came out of it okay. Now, I'm sitting here and doing great.
