Zitat des Tages von David Schwimmer:
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.
I came from a family where I felt great pressure to be financially successful, and I felt that staying in Chicago and doing theater, I was, in all likelihood, not going to find financial success.
If there's something I want, I go for it. I just think about how I'm going to go for it.
I don't think I responded very well to the sudden celebrity, the sudden fame, and the loss of privacy.
My parents from a very young age raised my sister and I under a pressure to achieve. They're both attorneys. So good marks, getting through university, there was a huge emphasis and pressure to do well and keep going.
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.'
Older actors can still play young, but it's harder for young actors to be able to play that age range.
I can't go anywhere without being recognized. I'm.
I had a mustache when I was 13.
I think the other honest attraction was that I just grew up loving watching TV and loving watching film, and there's so many directors and actors that I dreamed of working with, I just really wanted to take a crack at it and see if I could ever work with some of those.
I love directing. It's something I started doing in theatre when I was in university in Chicago and I started a theatre company right out of college and was directing for many years.
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.
When I was six years old, my parents took me to this farmers' market with a petting zoo. They put me on a pony and, for some reason, it took off at a run and they had to chase it down. They tell me it was kind of traumatic.
Knowing yourself and expressing it is hip. I think knowing yourself is the real journey, for me anyway.
It's really important to me not to be known as Ross when I'm 60.
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.
I'm fiercely loyal to my friends, and I really cherish my friendships.
'Friends', even though it was the longest single job I've had, still to me at the end of the day, when it was over it was a job.
I find America falling in love with a TV show flattering and interesting, but at the same time a little sad.
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!'
You know, I grew up watching all kinds of films. So, as an adult, I wanted to be involved in all kinds of plays and television and film.
Can I tell you how strange it is to look in your rearview mirror and see guys in cars tailing you?
I think I'm a very very nice director. Very supportive, very nurturing. I definitely try to challenge my actors but I think I'm very supportive.
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.
A lot of a movie is locations, frankly.
To be perfectly honest, I feel I have a duty to use my celebrity status in a positive way.
You're only as good as the sum of your parts, and one person can't be a team.
I was a geek in high school.
And the thing is, every time you start a new show or do a new series, you're committing to another six years.
I love dogs.
If I were given a choice between two films and one was dark and explored depraved, troubled or sick aspects of our culture, I would always opt for that over the next romantic comedy.
I like to grow as an actor, and you can do that by playing parts that are unfamiliar to you and uncomfortable.
I've always been pretty energetic.
I'm very goal oriented.
I spend half my time just living my life, and the other half analyzing it.
I started in theater. I did theater professionally for seven years with my company before I started doing 'Friends.' I was waiting tables and doing theater.
