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.

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.

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.

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).)
