thinking half dinner
Women always think that I'm Chandler, so if I don't joke around for half an hour they think that something's wrong. Then I explain that I don't have comedy writers scripting everything I'm saying at this particular dinner.
fun character thinking
Ninety percent of video game AI really is pretty damn bad. I think that's actually why it's so much fun to shoot things. Because the AI is so bad and the characters are so annoying.
party thinking used
I used to spend a lot of time just thinking about myself, thinking that the party started when I showed up.
recovery thinking doctors
I think we need to educate our doctors about addiction.
thinking talking causes
I can tell if someone is talking to me because I'm on 'Friends' or cause they just think I'm neat. You know I don't think I've ever spent more than five or ten minutes with somebody who was ogling me because they recognized me from the show.
husband dad thinking
As for my personal life, I'd love to start a family of my own. I think I'd make a great dad, and I think shortly I would make a great husband.
thinking guy too-much
Chandler's the guy everybody thinks will do well with women, but he thinks too much and says the wrong thing.
cheer past thinking
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.'
thinking guy attention
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.
thinking addiction people
A lot of people think that addiction is a choice. A lot of people think it's a matter of will. That has not been my experience. I don't find it to have anything to do with strength.
emotional funny guy hands hiding joking relate sarcastic script shake stuff unless wow
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.
life
I've certainly had a lot of experiences in my life where I was much too self-centered.
british-actor bummed falling turned
Everything is just falling into place for me right now. I just turned 30, which I thought I was going to be bummed about, but I'm not.
cool early five good grew kids learned life love parenting quite skills whom younger youngest
I would love to have kids one day. In fact, I'm pretty good with them. I grew up with five half-siblings, the youngest of whom is 11 years younger than me, so I think I learned some pretty cool parenting skills quite early on in life.
