Courteney Cox Filmography

• "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." - Movieline. 11.16.99.
• "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." - Movieline. 11.16.99.
• "I was advised not to do Scream because no one likes horror movies. Then I heard, 'Don't audition because you can't do this bitchy role,' and 'You're way too friendly, no pun intended.' I was also told, 'Play the girlfriend or the doctor or the lawyer - the nice ones.' Now I'm getting scripts where I'm asked to play characters that are tough as nails, and I love it."
• "I'm a gemini, and I get so bored so easily. I mean, I have moved six times in the last eight years."
• "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."
• "I'm not a huge fan of romantic comedimes- my taste goes much more to the offbeat and dark. I'd love to sink my teeth into something like 'Fargo'"
• "I only have to do three things to look halfway decent, curl my eyelashes, fill in my eyebrows and put some lipstick on."
• "Honesty is the key to a relationship. If you can fake that, you're in."

• TV Guide Award: Editor's Choice (2000)
• Golden Apple Awards: Female Discovery of the Year (1995)
