“I want to leave Matthew Perry’s own words here as the way we remember him,” actress Mira Sorvino said in a post to X. “There will never be another like him — he lit up so many hearts in so many ways. Godspeed to Paradise!”
“I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in life. I’m still working through it personally, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic or drug addict comes up to me and says, ‘Will you help me?’” Perry said.
“I will always say, ‘Yes, I know how to do that. I can do that for you, even if I can’t always do it for myself.’ So I do that, whenever I can,” Perry said.
“When I die, I know people will talk about ‘Friends,’ ‘Friends,’ ‘Friends,’” he said. (Trending: Donald Trump Is A ‘Cockroach’ That Just Won’t Go Away)
“Why are people so upset over Matthew Perry’s death when they didn’t know him?”
Because we sort of did. We grew up watching FRIENDS, it was part of our childhood. I remember watching it every evening after school, or when I was lonely, sick or sad. 💔😔#MatthewPerry #Friends pic.twitter.com/NUT0ltj3eX

“And I’m glad of that, happy I’ve done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web.”
“But when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if ‘Friends’ were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people. I know it won’t happen, but it would be nice,” he concluded.
Fans are sharing his words and expressing their admiration for him.
