I liked myself much more before I got famous. I was much friendlier and had more energy.

I knew I was going to be famous later in life.

That was one of the reasons I became a writer - I never really had that many friends. I would read a lot, and listen to music. And that was my life.

I had a sense of who I was before I got famous.

When we were growing up our parents somehow made it clear that being famous was good. And I mistakenly thought that if I was famous then everyone would love me.

The problem is, the more famous you get, the more people see you who didn't choose to.

Being famous hasn't changed my perception of myself - I've just grown up.

I don't like the idea that fame could mean that people can no longer relate to me.

As far as friendships go, things change even without the fame. People start moving on. I have a few friends that are married and are starting to have kids and I'm like, 'Oh my goodness gracious - that's so insane.' I also have friends who are just doing their own thing, which is cool.

It was so popular, so more people identify me from 'Friends' than anything else.
