Favorite episode Season 1's ''The One With the Blackout,'' in which Chandler gets stuck in an ATM vestibule with model Jill Goodacre during a power outage; meanwhile, the others swap secrets in Monica's apartment. ''The interesting thing about that episode was I didn't speak much; it was mostly in voice-over. We prerecorded what I said and I had to react. Let's face it: Jill Goodacre is hot, so it wasn't that difficult.... I [remember] spitting my gum out and it stuck to the wall. It was my choice to just stay completely frozen in fear and embarrassment. That was one of those things that the producers loved and it stayed in.... What was great about that night was that I was also able to watch the other three quarters of the show, which was these five great actors doing ensemble work that was amazing. This was the first time I realized, 'Gee, this is really clicking.'''

Stock quote about saying goodbye ''You know when you're just on the verge of tears? I felt that way for about five hours. It was a combination of a celebration of a job well done for 10 years by all of us and also just a huge sadness that the experience of our lifetime was coming to a close.''

On doing a reunion show ''Talk to me in 20 years. If I'm on really hard times, maybe I'll be pitching one. But for now, I think you leave it alone.''

Coolest perk ''Getting to work with Sean Penn was amazing. Unfortunately, that entire episode I was dressed as a pink bunny.''

Worst thing about making a million dollars per episode ''The worst part of it was feeling a little guilty, like, 'Wait a minute, I'm going here to do something I love.'''

Keepsake prop ''There's a cookie jar that has a clock on it that was over the fridge. One time I asked Lisa Kudrow, 'What time is it?' and she looked up at that to tell me the time and we all laughed really hard, so I made arrangements to give it to her.''

If ''I'll Be There for You'' came on the radio, would you listen? ''No, I always very quickly turn that down.''

Last time someone asked if the six of you were all friends ''Yesterday.''

Next Starring in ''The Whole Nine Yards'' sequel, ''The Whole Ten Yards''
