I`ve made a good amount of money. I`m very happy that I can now support my theatre company and support friends and family, and I`m ready to maybe go back to school and change careers.
To be perfectly honest, I feel I have a duty to use my celebrity status in a positive way. Most rape victims are women, so the bulk of the discussion is loaded towards women. I thought I could find a way to approach the subject of rape in such a way that men are going to respond to it. My most devastating moment was when a 13-year-old girl told me her story. At that moment, I realized just how important this center really is. Nothing else had ever made me connect with reality like that.
[On his post-`Friends` activity in live theatre] The best thing about going back to drama was discovering how good I feel as a leader. I feel I`m a natural collaborator, but I`m also good at bringing people together..People really have to know their opinion matters. And I can remember the days when I was happiest as an actor were those days when my opinion seemed to make a difference.
You`re only as good as the sum of your parts, and one person can`t be a team.
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!`
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.
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.`
It`s a job - someone`s gotta 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.
It`s really important to me not to be known as Ross when I`m 60.
If there`s something I want, I go for it. I just think about how I`m going to go for it.
I`m fiercely loyal to my friends, and I really cherish my friendships.
I was a geek in high school.
I spend half my time just living my life, and the other half analyzing it.
I like to grow as an actor, and you can do that by playing parts that are unfamiliar to you and uncomfortable.
I had a mustache when I was 13.
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.
Can I tell you how strange it is to look in your rearview mirror and see guys in cars tailing you? |
