order addiction trying
Trying to overcome addiction is one of the hardest things for a person to do. And the fact that I had to do it under the scrutiny of tabloid press at first made it seem even more difficult. But in fact, it oddly ended up being a plus. Because of the tabloid stuff, it wasn't like I could walk into a bar and order a drink.
actors worst autopilot
As an actor, being on autopilot is the worst thing possible.
party thinking used
I used to spend a lot of time just thinking about myself, thinking that the party started when I showed up.
ego theatre television
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.
years next-year sober
I got sober because I was worried I was going to die next year.
girl hurt fall
I never really thought of myself as a physical comedian. But when I was a kid, I used to, you know, pretend to trip over things to make girls laugh in school and stuff like that. So I kind of learned how to fall without hurting yourself.
car giving months
I would like you all to give me a round of applause as I have not crashed my car in over 15 months.
girl real stress
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.

I was like: I'm going to ask her [Julia Roberts] out but I'm going to be very nervous about it. Then she said yes, I got even more nervous.
men laughing firsts
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.
couple cheer keys
The key to sitcom success is miserable people. If you see a happy couple, it's just gone, like when Sam and Diane got together on Cheers.
necks flow chins
I have what I like to call a 'chinneck.' My chin just flows rather easily into my neck.
fun recovery sobriety
I'm making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery. Please enjoy making fun of me on the world wide web.
stars successful tough
It's tough to have a movie-star persona when you're on a show as successful as 'Friends.'
