David Schwimmer Quotes

Sometimes I think I'm the craziest person on the planet.

I have my own demons and dark moods. It's weird.

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

I definitely connected to the fact that life gets out of control and you end up doing things and wishing you were doing other things instead.

Emotions are messy and hard to figure out.

If you don't deal with your demons, they will deal with you, and it's gonna hurt.

I think it's important to remember that people don't set their lives on fire. They don't walk away from their extraordinarily, extraordinarily comfortable lives ... for no reason.

I had my foot in both worlds. I knew what I didn't want, and so I had to make a choice, just like N.W.A. made choices.

Ask yourself: What forms the decisions you make? What is it that gnaws at you? What are your crucible moments?

What would you do if you were me? Tell me. Please tell me! But you're far from this. Your fingers turn the strangeness of these pages that somehow connect my life to yours. Your eyes are safe. The story is just another few hundred pages of your mind. For me, it's here. It's now. I have to go through with this, considering the cost at every turn. Nothing will be the same.

I tend to keep things that bother me clandestine... well-hidden. I'm also not very good at recognising the reasons that change my moods - they just seem to happen, which is not great for those around me.

I think that in the last four or five years I've constantly struggled with the balance in my life.

You know, sometimes I feel well and vital in the world, and sometimes I just feel so distressed I want to pull my hair out by the roots.

I don't know how you make decisions in your life, but I weigh lots of things, and it's not always the purest of things for why I take a job or do this. I always try to think of the many different factors in my life, and not one is pure greed. One is pure quality of life.

The difficulty in life is the choice.

Most of my life I've had long periods of feeling down and lost. That's why every five years or so I've smashed my life to pieces and started again.

Ever since I was a little girl, I've worried too much. It always bothers me because sometimes you end up worrying more about the worry and you are not resolving things that are right there in front of you. I have been like that all my life, and it's hard to change.

Nobody's life is ever all balanced. It's a conscious decision to choose your priorities every day.

Most of us are going through life without interrogating whether our decision-making processes are fit for purpose. And that's something we need to change - especially when the stakes are high and the decisions are of real import.

I think we should all live the moment. But you also have to think ahead. You have to think, 'Am I going to be happy with this five, ten years from now? Is it going to let me evolve and grow, or am I going to grow to one day wish I had never done it?' Sometimes you just have to think a little bit ahead.

Like everyone else, I've had moments when I've felt that I've been losing my grip.

Most of us actually stifle enough good impulses during the course of a day to change the current of our lives.

Almost every month, I have a day where I get stuck in the mud of me. I used to blame hormones and PMS. After I hit 50, I blamed the lack of hormones. But men get stuck, too, so it must simply be the human condition.

I would stay in my room for days, for days at times, just trying to get it together, to know what my next phase was going to be.

Of course there are times when I think, 'I'd be better out of this.'
