Quotes
- From Michelle Williams: "When I have to cry for the camera, I can
always count on Josh being off to the side mooning me!!"
- His discription of Pacey: "Four years ago, I had similar issues to
what Pacey is dealing with. We both grew up in a community-based
atmosphere. He grew up in a much smaller town, which has its own limitations
and benefits, but I grew up in a community where I knew everybody in the
neighboorhood, went to school with all the same kids and spent a decade of
my life with the same people. Like Pacey, I also have an offbeat sense of
humour and I enjoy laughing, having a good time and often get myself in
trouble for it. But neither of us is mischievous for mischief's sake."
Pacey Witter
Pacey has been best friends with Dawson, and has known Joey since they
were little. He has an offbeat sense of humour, and it more upfront with
his feelings than any of the others. In the beginning, he had a
relationship with his English teacher which ended in heartbreak when they
were found out, and she moved to another town.
