My first thought was, 'Was this sent to the right person?' I called my agent. 'Are they sure? Let's say yes before they realize they sent it to the wrong person!'

But seeing there's a theme here, I will say one thing, I'll tell you about Brad's laugh. I don't know how to explain it except it sounds like a twelve-year-old-boy who just threw a water balloon down on somebody.

Marta Kauffman - "We didn't see a Rachel at all, until Jennifer walked in. Then it was amazing because there Rachel was.

She has a beautiful rose garden and she takes things in. I'm too busy puttering and moving around. She has an amazing love of life." Courteney Cox Arquette - "She's a very deep person. She's had a complex life and it's not been easy, which makes her extremely compassionate. Jennifer's been through so many things, with relationships and family, things that have made her stronger. But she also has tremendous feelings. That's what makes her so interesting. We kind of have a pact. If anything ever bothers us, we don't hold it in for one second. Bottom line is that I trust her implicitly and the reason why I love her so much is that I feel very safe with her. Always." Matthew Perry - "Aniston will be the first to fall, she's an absolute sap"-Friends' last season Courteney Cox Arquette - "I love her so much I can't see straight. I'm very proud of her."

One of my best friends." Lisa Kudrow - "Jennifer is one big throbbing heart. She's all emotion, feeling and support.

Just knowing that she's out there is enough to make me want to stay home" David Schwimmer - "I believe Jen to be one of the finest comediennes ever. Her timing, her instincts, are so, so good and so on the money. ?She has this rare combination: not many girls are that funny and have that much heart. She's got the emotional life underneath to match the funny. And she's adorable. It's a triple threat." Freddie Prinze Jr. - "Jennifer is the sweest, most sincere person....not to mention she is so damn funny! ?I completely lost it every time she screamed, 'Damn you, Geller!' from off screen while David was firing me as their nanny. I could barely get my lines out or keep a straight face. She is truly an original." Courteney Cox Arquette - "?Jennifer is an amazing actress, and I love her so much. She is such a real person, and she has so much talent its unbelievable. Watching her play the dramatic parts on Friends and in other roles, and then doing the comedy in such an etheral way, it's just fantastic. She's like my sister. I adore that girl. She's my friend for life." David Schwimmer - "She's amazing. I really compare her to Lucille Ball - one of the best comediennes of all time." David Crane - "Look at Jennifer. She was amazing in so many of the scenes we did regarding Rachel's pregnancy, lke when she's looking for the first time at the sonogram of the baby, and she can't find the baby. And she's crying. It's so moving because its so real and it's hilarious at the same time. That's an amazing skill, and a rare one. With most actors, you get one or the other: crying is say and comedy is funny. As Rachel, she was able to sort of embody all of it. And there's a warmth to Jennifer that comes through the screen. And thats crucial because if you look at the character of Rachel, a lot of what she does is not that appealing. She can be selfish, she can be spoiled, and yet....." Matt LeBlanc - "She's a - just a giant heart with a head and feet. That's Jennifer Aniston, yeah." Jake Gyllenhaal - "The most complicated thing about this movie is that the woman has the power, not the men. But because of the charisma that Jennifer brings to it, you love her somehow"-on making The Good Girl, Vogue 2002 Ted Cohen (executive producer) - "Jennifer brings a truth to Rachel that allows her to be funny, even when she and Ross are fighting, breaking up, having a baby, etc., which is incredibly rare" Andrew Reich (executive producer) - "Jennifer has an ability to make the audience empathize with her that's unprecedented" |
