- David Schwimmer: I'm often asked whether Friends has been an albatross around my neck, or whether people only see me as 'Ross from Friends, but I don't ever think negatively about it. Really, that show has been a blessing. It's given me the financial freedom to choose the projects I really want to do.

- David Schwimmer: (about the pressure of his first movie at the box office) For some reason I'm just not that scared. I realize there's a certain amount of pressure from critical circles and the industry. I feel like I'll be around for a very long time. I've watched the careers of bigger and better stars fade away. But I also think of Tom Hanks and Woody Harrelson.
