Biography of Luke Perry
I've had tons of odd jobs, but I think that I would probably be a fireman because you get to see the results of your job. You get there and there is a house on fire. You leave and there's not a fire anymore.
Tags: Fire, Job, LeaveIt's hard and sometimes it's scary. It still amazes my mother. I went home for Christmas one year and there were fans all over the front lawn, hoping to see me.
Tags: Home, MotherI open to anything... just about anything.
Tags: OpenI think that sometimes kids use the show as a jumping off point for talking about things with their parents.
Tags: Kids, Parents, SometimesI'm not much of a matchmaker. I think people have to make their own choices and mistakes and all that stuff.
Tags: Choices, Mistakes, StuffMy high school was nothing like West Beverly High, let me tell you. I grew up in Fredericktown, Ohio.
Tags: High, School, TellWhen I was a kid, I was at a bowling alley and I ran into a soda machine. I still have the scar on my right eyebrow obviously.
Tags: Kid, Machine, ScarGrowing up in the Midwest, people don't drive Porsches and Ferraris. They drive Fords and Chevys. And so even if you have the opportunity to buy a more expensive car, it doesn't occur to you because it's not what you relate to.
Tags: Car, Drive, GrowingI always felt like something of an outsider. But I identified with people up on the screen. That made me feel like I wanted to be up on the screen too. I felt like eventually I would get there.
Tags: Eventually, Felt, WantedI have a girlfriend, but I don't really want to talk about her. I won't name her. She isn't in show business, has nothing to do with it. So I'd rather just keep her out of it.
Tags: Business, Keep, TalkI was something of a prankster. One time I put a ski mask on my head and used a fake gun on the school secretary so that I could get some of my friends out of detention.
Tags: Fake, School, TimeIt was a fun film. I had a great time doing it. I was looking for a role just like that for my first movie role. I didn't want to have a starring role, because I wanted a chance to learn. I didn't want the whole thing riding on me.
Tags: Fun, Great, TimeThere's a big difference between me and a real, legitimate working hand, or a world-champion rodeo cowboy. I play 'em, and I aspire to be like that, but those guys are tough.
Tags: Real, Tough, WorkingWhen I was a kid, I just devoured TV 24 hours a day. Now that it's actually available 24 hours a day, I'm usually busy doing other stuff. But I do watch TV when I can.
Tags: Actually, Busy, StuffWhy doesn't Apple stop for a year and make medical devices? When people talk about technology, that's where I start to get a little hot under the collar because I know that it's the key to solving some of the world's biggest problems. Having a faster, thinner telephone is not one of the world's biggest problems.
Tags: Medical, Technology, WhyThere are two ways to go when you hit that crossroads in your life: There is the bad way, when you sort of give up, and then there is the really hard way, when you fight back. I went the hard way and came out of it okay. Now, I'm sitting here and doing great.
Tags: Bad, Great, LifeI used to be a real prince charming if I went on a date with a girl. But then I'd get to where I was likely to have a stroke from the stress of keeping up my act. I've since learned the key to a good date is to pay attention on her.
Tags: Dating, Girl, GoodThe key to sitcom success is miserable people. If you see a happy couple, it's just gone, like when Sam and Diane got together on Cheers.
Tags: Happy, Success, TogetherI love the idea of 'the one' but I actually believe that there isn't a Miss Right. There are 12,000 Miss Rights out there and it's all timing.
Tags: Idea, Love, RightsI'm a sensitive guy. If you are a woman and you're in any kind of emotional duress and you write a song about it, I'll buy you album.

If there's a silence in a room I'll try to fill it as soon as humanly possible.
Tags: Possible, Silence, TryWell, I was lucky enough to be involved in about 19 failures at an early age, so I'm realistic about the success I'm having and how quickly it can go away. What's important is to be smart about it.
Tags: Age, Smart, SuccessChandler's the guy everybody thinks will do well with women, but he thinks too much and says the wrong thing.
Tags: Everybody, Women, WrongI would like you all to give me a round of applause as I have not crashed my car in over 15 months.
Tags: Car, Give, MonthsI've just found out there are pages on the internet dedicated to whether I'm gay or not.
Tags: Found, Gay, WhetherI can tell if someone is talking to me because I'm on 'Friends' or cause they just think I'm neat. You know I don't think I've ever spent more than five or ten minutes with somebody who was ogling me because they recognized me from the show.
Tags: Friends, Someone, TellNinety percent of video game AI really is pretty damn bad. I think that's actually why it's so much fun to shoot things. Because the AI is so bad and the characters are so annoying.
