During a BBC interview, Perry was asked for his personal least favorite episode of the show, to which he responded, "I think the answer is, I don't remember three years of it, so none of those. I was a little out of it at the time." Perry has stated that he started taking painkillers around that time so he wouldn't drink too much alcohol, but then he became addicted to them. He entered rehab in 2001, bringing with him crippling addictions to Vicodin, methadone, amphetamines, and, oh yeah, booze too. So maybe don't try this method.
Perry claimed that he never worked on the show while drunk, though he was "painfully hungover" a great deal of the time, which probably made it even harder than usual to deal with Ross' wimpy crap. Anyway, good on him for getting (and staying) clean. Now if only we could all find a way to collectively erase Joey that doesn't involve brain damage ...
