I am not afraid if people think Matt LeBlanc in 'Episodes' is who I am - my friends and family know who I am.

And if you have great writing, it's really easy, but if it's not so great and you have to work a little harder, I could tell where the work needed to be done but comedy is just fun.

'Friends' was an education in intelligent comedic banter; in intelligent vernacular. It was an education in scene study. It was an education in group dynamic. I came out of there with a master's degree in comedy.

I believe that laughter is the best emotional Band-Aid in the world. It's like nature's Neosporin.
Matt LeBlanc -
It's funny - nowadays people that are famous get chased by paparazzi. They have this fame, but they don't have the money to hide from it.
Matt LeBlanc -
I've grown tremendously as an actor by being there. It is comic writing the likes of which I don't know that I'll ever see again and it's been a great, great experience.
Matt LeBlanc -
Still, on 'Friends', we had some guest-stars who were less than spectacular, not the stunt-casting, but just regular guest-stars, and they weren't particularly great actors, but the material was so good that they scored. It's the writing.
Matt LeBlanc -
The way I look at it, everything is a trade. You acquire some money, so then you've got no financial burdens, but everyone wants your money and so who can you trust? Or you've got no money and you can trust anyone, but then you've got the worry to pay bills. Which is worse?

You always question people's intentions. That may be a combination of having money, having fame, and being a little older.
Matt LeBlanc -
As an actor, the biggest compliment you can get, in my book is for someone to believe that you're the character.
Matt LeBlanc -
I keep waiting for the roof to cave in. I was raised to follow the Golden Rule, you know, treat people the way you wish to be treated. That's kind of the way I live my life. Maybe someone up there likes me for that.
Matt LeBlanc -
You can't be funny if you don't have good material.
Matt LeBlanc -
I have funny bones. If there's ever any kind of tension, I'll always be the one to try and be funny to loosen things up.
Matt LeBlanc -
When there's writing that you really trust, it's very freeing as an artist.
Matt LeBlanc
-
Misery is manifold. The wretchedness of the earth is multiform.
Matt LeBlanc -
Comedy is just to me, maybe it's a natural knack, if I can see where the joke is in the writing and I can see where the setup is and I can tell this is the way to make it.
Matt LeBlanc -
You basically have a group of four spies who are chosen for a mission they feel for the fact of how competent they are and how their expertise and they're the right one for the job. But ultimately they find out they've been actually chosen for their incompetence.
Matt LeBlanc -
You know, I think British comedy is very smart comedy. You don't get too much dumb comedy over here. Or at least I haven't seen it. If I'm wrong about that, I apologize to all the dumb comedy makers over here.
Matt LeBlanc -
People call me Joey all the time. I take it as a compliment. There's no point in correcting them. But I'm much more even-keeled and subdued and relaxed than Joey Tribbiani.
