We were not trying to push anybody into a deal.
I didn't ask to be followed by five video guys from 'Hard Copy' that harass you with bright lights in your face and ask you questions and try to incite you. I didn't ask for that. I never went into acting for that, or to be in the public eye simply by walking down the street, not being able to eat a meal without being interrupted.
There's nothing like a play. It's so immediate and every performance is different. As an actor, you have the most control over what the audience is seeing.
We really do feel like we're working as a team.
I'm fiercely loyal to my friends, and I really cherish my friendships.
It's really important to me not to be known as Ross when I'm 60.
With the success of the last three or so years, when a lot of people start treating you differently, there's a danger that you may start to think of yourself differently. You rely on your friends to say, 'Hey, wake up!'
I spend half my time just living my life, and the other half analyzing it.
Can I tell you how strange it is to look in your rearview mirror and see guys in cars tailing you?
My favorite thing about my family is that my sister and I will go over to our parents' house on the weekend and play canasta.
I have a lot of girlfriends whom I've never been involved with. Those kinds of lines get drawn pretty early on.
There are certain pressures and things that change your life to a degree that, in the cost benefit analysis that constantly goes on, sometimes makes you think, 'Maybe I should just leave.'
There are certain sacrifices that you make, and you feel like the only compensation you have as an actor is financial.
I don't tolerate any kind of dishonesty. I bring a lot to the table with my relationships, so I really expect the same.
It's a job - someone's gotta do it [kiss Jennifer Aniston]. The reality is, Jennifer and I can do our job well because we truly are friends. But when the day's over, she goes home to her boyfriend and I go home to a magazine.
[Ross defends his fast eating habits to Rachel]
I grew up in a house with Monica, okay. If you didn't eat fast, you didn't eat.
Oh my God, people really think I'm Ross!
If there's something I want, I go for it. I just think about how I'm going to go for it.
I like to grow as an actor, and you can do that by playing parts that are unfamiliar to you and uncomfortable.
I find America falling in love with a TV show flattering and interesting, but at the same time a little sad.
I can't go anywhere without being recognized.
