Quotes

Matthew: (joking about the kind of woman he's looking for) I'm looking for rich, very very wealthy. I'm looking for someone who can play Hockey better than I can. So I don't know why I haven't been able to find this. A rich Hockey player woman? Why should I be having a problem. (edit)
Matthew: (on dating someone you work with) It's certainly a bad thing, a bad idea in general to get in a relationship with someone you work with because you're going to break up and it's going be bad and you're going to have to see the person every day, but I don't want to say that and then cut to four years from now I'm married to Courtney Cox and then they'll play that at the wedding. (edit)
Matthew (When asked what time has taught him about Jennifer Aniston): That she's the worst driver in the history of drivers. If I know she's going somewhere, I stay home. (edit)
Matthew: (on the 100th episode of Friends) I think this is the only thing I've ever done in my life a 100th time. (edit)
Matthew: (joking about his thoughts about the Friends ending) I thought that everybody should move out and that I should stay [laughs] We'd call the show Friend. (edit)
