"After I got my first laugh on stage, I was hooked."
"If there's a silence in a room I'll try to fill it as soon as humanly possible."
"The goal is to have to do the shot again because the camera guy shook a little bit as he was laughing. Without that happening, I'm not happy because there's nothing better for me than a world that everybody's just trying to make each other laugh."
"I really lived life to its fullest and that got me in trouble from time to time."
"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 to her."
"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."
"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."
"When I read the script of Chandler, I thought WOW I can really shake hands with this guy. Chandlers a sarcastic guy, dry, funny - a guy who's not comfortable unless he's joking and hiding the emotional stuff that's going on with him. And Yeah, I can relate to that a bit."
-Matthew Perry (a.k.a Chandler Bing on "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" (1994-2004))
I recently had to do a presentation on some personality. I picked this guy. It's like he himself says... when he read the script of Chandler, he wanted to shake hands with him... so do I.
There ARE people whose lives mirror your own, whose actions, thoughts, feelings tend to be the same as yours... they are the ones you can draw your inspiration from, look up to and say "Hey, look, this is as near a preview of your life as you can get. So use it as a template, modify it to your own situation and hope you come out tops..."
As Chandler would say- You big Freak of Nature!

Hey kiddo.
Remember that horrible drug ordeal that Perry went through? Youch. It was pretty cool that he got through that all right. But my personal favourite Chandler quote - one that I can relate to - is "Rock. Hard place. Me." Remember that one?
I was wondering where u got that 'big freak of nature' from.. Shud've guessed..
Karthik,
English Presentation da. Bleeding audio cupped in the middle though!
Manasi,
EXACTLY! He came out of it clean no?? How many can claim THAT??? Yep, "Rock. Hard Place. Me". Vaguely remember.
Ajit,
Yeah, you should've guessed, seeing the number of times you've said I 'imitate' Chandler...
Manasi, thats season 1, episode 14 approx. The one where he see's Rachel's bre*s*ts. I can't type the entire word, or my browser in the octa will ban it. :(
Anand, you try to be chandler every moment of your life! unless we say something serious, you've perpetually got a 'chandler' expression on your face. ;)
So chandler was your replacement for Hetfield(is that his name?) Isn't that who you were planning to speak on when i was there. all that thing with the live streaming and all cupped a?
oh so THAT's where 'you big freak of nature' comes from.. so, chandler, i mean ducky, what made chandler replace hetfield
Ani and Spanks,
Well, I figured JUNTUM wouldn't know Hetfield... and that wouldn't help. Cos my policy is "Win the crowd, and you shall win the battle." ;)
NO WAY! How could anybody not know HETFIELD! ;)
