When David [Arquette] and I got engaged we started therapy together. I`d heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest, so we decided to work through all that stuff early.

I don`t want to feel I`m responsible for anorexia across the country.

I can definitely act even if I don`t appear to have any particular style. I know I`m not a method actress, but I do believe in being physically and emotionally prepared for the role. If I have a scene where I`m supposed to be emotionally drawn out, then I`ll think of the saddest thing in my life. If I have to be five pounds lighter to be the right physical type, I`ll run my little tail around the block to make the weight.

I only have to do three things to look halfway decent, curl my eyelashes, fill in my eyebrows and put some lipstick on.

A lot of my humor does come from anger. It`s like, you`re not gonna pull one over on me - which is pretty much my motto anyways.

Before he moved in, David would say `How are we ever going to meld together, because our tastes are so different? Maybe it`s because we`re truly in love that we can. [On husband David Arquette.]

I`m not going to deny it. I`m a neat person, there`s no question. But I don`t become obsessed with it.

Always a godmother, never a mother. That sucks. I`ve got to get me one of those little accessories.

I like TV. It all depends what it is.

I`m a gemini, and I get so bored so easily. I mean, I have moved six times in the last eight years.

I have to be physically attracted to someone. But I can`t just be with someone just because it`s great sex. Because orgasms don`t last long enough.

I`m not a huge fan of romantic comedies- my taste goes much more to the offbeat and dark. I`d love to sink my teeth into something like Fargo (1996).

I don`t think I`m too thin at all. I understand when people say, `Well your face gets gaunt,` but to get your bottom half to be the right size, your face might have to be a little gaunt. You choose your battles.

If I like myself at this weight, then this is what I`m going to be. I don`t have an eating disorder.

I like keeping Gale bitchy. She has a reputation to live up to. She may have changed her hair but not much else. [About her character Gale Weathers in the Scream (1996/I) series.]

I get so bored! I had a treadmill... I gave it to my mom. I had a stairmaster... gone. I had a recumbent bike...I dont know where that is. So I hate exercise except for Pilates.

[Asked "What`s my pet peeve?"] Not being heard. You don`t have to agree with me, just hear me. (Marie Claire - August 2006 - "The Real Me: Courteney on Courteney")

It`s so much fun for us. I have a new love for the show since I`ve gotten into this relationship. Honestly, I was a little bored the first four years. I had some fun things to do and some good relationships, but Monica was developing and I felt like there was a lot of straight man stuff. Now we have something really fun to play - two really neurotic people trying to have a relationship. They`re both afraid to commit, to get married, or take these steps. I have a really good time playing with him [Matthew Perry]. It`s kind of like our relationship in real life - except we don`t kiss. [About playing Monica and Chandler on "Friends" (1994).]

I wasn`t going to go far. I`m only 5` 5" and I don`t have that look. (on her early modeling days)

Honesty is the key to a relationship. If you can fake that, you`re in.

I would like to do a part that would stretch me. In America it seems to me that you just take your clothes off and that helps, but I wouldn`t want to do that.

I want people to be happy, so I think that`s one of the reasons why I wanted to do the show in the first place... just to see somebody, even if it`s just for the day. To see their life change for that moment when they walk into the room and are that happy. It really makes you cry. It does. I hope I don`t lose this feeling. [On producing her show "Mix It Up" (2003).]

I don`t have time for superficial friends. I suppose if you`re really lonely you can call a superficial friend, but otherwise, what`s the point?

Courteney Cox (About her character in the Scream movies): I like keeping Gale bitchy. She has a reputation to live up to. She may have changed her hair but not much else.

Courteney Cox: I`m a Gemini, and I get so bored so easily. I mean, I have moved six times in the last eight years.

Courteney Cox: Before he [husband David Arquette] moved in, David would say, "How are we ever going to meld together, because our tastes are so different?" Maybe it`s because we`re truly in love that we can.

Courteney Cox: (on mastering a camera for her role as photographer Sophie in November) It`s not like riding a bike, it`s like learning a language. If you don`t keep it up, it`s hard to remember.

Courteney Cox: I`m not always such a control freak. I am controlling, but I am more passive than Monica.

Courteney Cox: (on the way she spells her name) It`s an unusual way to spell it. It`s my mom`s name.

Courteney Cox: (on filming the low-budget Calendar Girl) It was great. [The budget] was $150,000. I think we used the producer`s neighbor`s house as hair and makeup. There was no dressing room. We were roughing it, but we were so into it. It didn`t feel like we were roughing it -- we were enjoying it.

Courteney Cox: I`m not like [3000 Miles to Graceland`s] Cybil, but then again, I`m not really like [Friends`] Monica.... But I`m not so one way that you can`t see that.

Courteney Cox: (on her character Cybil in 3000 Miles to Graceland) I love wearing the clothes.... every outfit a bra had to be showing.

Courteney Cox: (on being open about her personal life) I know I open my mouth way too much, but I just do that.... I`d have to monitor myself and I can`t be bothered.

Courteney Cox: (on her friendship with Matthew Perry, Chandler on Friends) [The relationship between Monica and Chandler is] kind of like our relationship in real life--except we don`t kiss.

Courteney Cox: (on Monica`s relationship with Chandler) It`s so much fun for us. I have a new love for the show since I`ve gotten into this relationship. Honestly, I was a little bored the first four years.

Courteney Cox: (responding to questions about her alleged bulimia) I wouldn`t throw up if you paid me. It just seems to be a waste of time.

Courteney Cox: (on meeting David Arquette) I heard he was a really sweet guy, but a little troublemaker. For some reason when I saw him--and I`m never like this--I was kind of cocky and I said something like, "I know who you are." I don`t know why, but I wanted to have some kind of banter with him. I was really taken by him. He`s a very original person. Then I got to know him and found that he`s probably the sweetest person in the whole world. He has the best heart. And any troublemaking part of his personality is just out of fun and because he`s kooky.

Courteney Cox: Fame enables you to act. And there are other good points - we have a lot of freedom in our lives because of it.

Courteney Cox (on her appearance in the Bruce Springsteen video: I don`t like my hair that short. It didn`t work for me. I looked like a little boy and I danced like a jock. (edit)

Courteney Cox (on plans for a Friends reunion): We talk about it because we love each other and we hang out all the time. I`m just saying I`m not opposed to it. Jennifer said she`s not opposed to it. When we say `reunion` I mean do a little Thanksgiving episode. It sounds like fun. It`s a lot of different people to get into the room, so I think the chances of it happening are slim.

Courteney Cox: (admitting plans for a Friends reunion can`t happen) There`s going to be no Friends reunion. It`s too hard to get everyone together. The writers are doing their thing, and I just can`t see it happening - not that I wouldn`t do it, because it would be fun. (edit)

Courteney Cox: (on Jennifer Aniston appearing her new show, Dirt) Jennifer loves the show. She`s already like, `What am I going to do?` We were like, `OK, if you came on the show, would you want to play yourself, or do we write a fantastic character for you, or you know maybe you take Dirt down?` We will think of something good. She will come on for sure! (edit)

Courteney Cox: I don`t think I`m too thin at all. I understand when people say, `Well your face gets gaunt,` but to get your bottom half to be the right size, your face might have to be a little gaunt. You choose your battles.

Courteney Cox: I would like to do a part that would stretch me. In America it seems to me that you just take your clothes off and that helps, but I wouldn`t want to do that.

Courteney Cox: If I get a facial, the paparazzi are there. If I go to my office, they`re there. We were followed all the way to Disneyland by five paparazzi cars for my daughter`s birthday.

(on the Paparazzi and Dirt): Some weird part of me said, "Oh, he drove all the way to Anaheim," so we did some stupid posed shot. But then I said, "OK, you have to come meet with the writers of my show." I felt like, "If you are going to invade my life, give me something."

Courteney Cox: She [Jennifer Aniston] loves it [Dirt]. She thought it was beautifully shot, and she knows this is a show that is fun and not to be taken seriously.

Courteney Cox: I have issues with getting older, sure. There are huge changes in my body and my face, and I obsess over them. I just try not to have too many mirrors around.

Courteney Cox: (after giving birth to her daughter Coco) I haven`t been able to spend as much time with friends, because I like to be with my daughter, and they get annoyed at first, but then they actually see her, and they`re like, "Oh, okay."

Courteney Cox: (in 2008, at age 44) I do want another child, yes, but I don`t know how to achieve that at my age
