Other People on Jen

- in alphabetical order, sorted by last name

Anthony Abeson (high school acting coach) said:
"What you see on TV is only one part of what Jennifer has got to offer. She can go much deeper."

Bryan Adams said:
"We shot this photo in the back of a parking lot in Los Angeles. Jennifer is so lovely, she was on the set of her new film (Friends with Money) and was nearing the end of her day but there was an army waiting for her to get out of her trailer and into the car. Every time I arrange a shot with Jennifer there's an issue with the paparazzi. Some of the longest lenses we've ever seen were being paraded around the streets near the set that day."

Joey Lauren Adams (co-star in The Break-Up) said:
"I was going back and forth between LA and Chicago a lot during the shooting of TBU. Jennifer would give me free rides on the private plane that the studio let her use, which was really sweet and so generous. Jennifer went out of her way to befriend me - she went above and beyond. It never felt forced. She's so honest and upfront. She's not a person who has all these walls built up. You can see inside her - she's very open, in a beautiful way. You'd think that after years and years in America's living room and the sort of fame that brings, she'd become more distant from people for her own sanity. But she doesn't say, 'I'm going to shut myself off.' Instead she says, 'I'm still going to live my life.'"
"Jennifer is just a really down-to-earth, nice person. She's very open."

Laura Allen (co-star in Dirt) said:
"She was wonderful. Her character drops two big bombshells on mine - two major pieces of information - in the season finale. She plays a rival magazine editor to Courteney's, and they have it in for each other and apparently have a romantic past."

Kirstie Alley said:
"I like the healthy thin side, that's what I admire in others. A perfect example is Jennifer Aniston. I think she has an incredibly beautiful body. I think she looks healthy. I don't think it's too skinny."

John Aniston (father) said:
"I don't think any father who knows anything about this business would be thrilled to have a daughter in it. I wanted her to go to college, and she just didn't want to. She was anxious to get on with it. Once she decided what she wanted to do, she was very driven."
"The pressure on her is unbelievable, but she handles it with aplomb."

Nancy Aniston (mother) said:
"Through an agreement I had made with the producers of the show, the interview was to be restricted to the Waldorf Method Of Teaching (the system that had educated Jennifer), it was not to be about my celebrity daughter!" (they cut out all the scenes that where about the school and only showed those ones with the comments about Jen) "I was livid. [When Jen called to say that she'll never forgive me] Jen's voice was so distorted with rage I didn't recognize it."
"I knew on some level that I had lost Jennifer forever..." (September 1999)

Christina Applegate (Amy Green on Friends) said:
"It was great to work with Jennifer and be around Friends one last time."

Courteney Cox Arquette said:
She's a very deep person. She's had a complex life and it's not just 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."
"Jennifer can be a little distracted. Like her Character (Rachel). But she's so warm and funny. It's impossible not to like this girl."
"Sometimes I can't believe that we'll spend the whole day at work and then, let's say, we get out of work a little early and there's time to go get something to eat - and we'll actually do that! I say, 'We should split up, go somewhere else, see some other people.' But we don't. It's pathetic. I know."
"Jennifer is going to be an amazing mom. She has a huge, huge heart. You never have to wonder where you stand with her. She's completely loyal. Even if she disagrees with you, she stands behind you. I think all those things will make her a great mom. They sure make her a great friend. I love, love, love her."
"I never have to say, 'Are you mad?' and she doesn't have to say, 'Are you upset with me?'"
"She's one of the most loving, caring people I know. No matter what's going on with me, I know I can talk to her, and she would never judge."
"Jennifer is an amazing actress, and I love her so much. She is such a real person, and she has so much talent, it's unbelievable. Watching her play the dramatic parts on Friends and in other roles, and then doing the comedy in such an ethereal way, it's just fantastic. She's like my sister. I adore that girl. She's my friend for life."
"I was so jealous when I went to her house once and she was actually watching the sunset. 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."
"I love her so much I can't see straight. I'm very proud of her."
"She's one of my favorite people in the whole world, and always will be. One of my best friends."
"Everybody talks about her hair. Don't get me wrong, she has great hair! There's just more to her than that."
"Jennifer and Lisa are both two of my closest friends. I love them so much."
"Today, when I wasn't feeling well, the first person I spoke to this morning was Jennifer."
"I don't have the same qualities that Jennifer has. We have the same morals and sense of humour, but we're different in many ways. If I had played Rachel, she would be more neurotic, whereas I think Jennifer has made her sexy, fun-loving, a little absentminded, and ethereal. I've got to tell you, I love the character of Rachel and I think there's no one better to play her than Jennifer."
"Jennifer gives me good advice a lot. So does Lisa (Kudrow), but David gave me the best advice in my life when he said I should 'be true to myself- and be true to the importance of your wish or want'. Jennifer always encourages me to be like that, too."
"Because one of my best friends in the whole wide world has a new movie and I have to see it!" - when asked why she's at the premiere of The Good Girl
"She completely transformed. And, of course, she can because she's a great actress. People think it's hard for us, but it's really not. The hard part is just getting the opportunity to play other roles. We're not really our [TV] characters and I know people don't believe that." On Jennifer's role in The Good Girl
"We had such a great time together and I love them both so much. We went through relationships and breakups together, through my marriage to David and my father dying. Those relationships are really sacred. I can trust Jennifer and Lisa with anything."
"I love this picture. First of all, I think Jake Gyllenhaal is the cutest thing in the world. And then Jennifer's expression is just so Jennifer to me. And I had just seen her movie, and I was so blown away. That's probably what I was saying to her, how wonderful she is, and she was probably saying, 'You're so sweet.'" - commenting on a picture
"She's a real girl's girl. Guys love her, but women really love her and are not threatened by her. It's a really good sign when someone has a lot of good girlfriends."
"She just sent me the most beautiful flowers for Mother's Day, but I don't know [if Jennifer and Vince are getting married]. They have fun, I'll say that much. They spend a lot of time laughing."
"Jennifer really is a great sent to a lot of people. She's never changed, even with her fame."
"I remember the last episode of friends. There was... her best friends were all in the front row and I just thought, 'That's so great.'"
"She played Rachel in a kind of, like a little bit of a dizzy way, a little spoiled, a little - she had all these layers to her and she's so likable that it just - it worked. I mean, you really loved that character."
"We had fun. We had a lot of little cat fights when we were playing those characters. Rachel and Monica would fight over things."
"Every single day she eats a salad and she orders it the exact same way. Light on garbanzo beans, turkey and some kind of lemon dressing made by a wonderful craft-services woman we call Mama, and pecorino cheese - Jennifer's favorite."
"Jennifer said she's not opposed to [doing a Friends reunion]. When we say 'reunion'... do a little thanksgiving episode, sure... why not what are we all doing? It sounds fun. Jennifer and I talk about it because we love each other and we hang out all the time. Why not do it? Will it happen? It's a lot of different people to get into the room, its a whole big thing, so the chances of it happening is so slim. But would Jennifer and I? Sure, we'll eat some turkey together."
"Jennifer can tell me exactly what I wore the day I auditioned for Friends. She's a freakoid."
"She loves [Dirt]. She thought it was beautifully shot, and she knows this is a show that is fun and not to be taken seriously."
"We're shooting [the finale episode of Dirt, in which Jennifer will appear] this Thursday - I can't wait. We'll have a ball. We're just going to have fun."
"It is really not a big deal to kiss [Jennifer]."
"I am not saying don't tune in to watch Jennifer on the show, because she is fantastic and you get to see us together again, but if you think it is just about a major make-out session, you will be disappointed."
"Our first (assistant director) on Friends wanted us to [kiss]. In order for us to get a later call time, (the assistant director) dared us to kiss once and we thought about it. For the whole year we would get a later call time. We didn't do it, no."
"When she first arrived [on the set of Dirt] everyone was really quiet. It was like they were giving her respect and I was like, 'This is my bud Jen. Come on people, let's have some fun.' And by day two everyone was more loose, and by day three we were having a ball."
"Let me tell you. That girl cuts up just as much as the rest of us. She is very fun and she's goofy and she is just a doll. She is a great fun person with a great sense of humor."

David Arquette said:
"They became real friends while playing them on TV. That won't end because the show is going off the air. They can't just turn that off."
"My wife and Jen are a great support system for each other, it's fun to even look at them."
"Jennifer loves the show [Dirt]. She's already like, 'What am I going to do? We were like, 'Okay, 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'll think of something good if it happens."
"Jennifer's great. When the marriage [between Jennifer and Brad Pitt] ended, it was sad."
"[Jennifer and Vince Vaughn] dated, they really cared about each other."
"Jennifer is the greatest girl. Those magazines, they take something and it's working for them so they play it out, but she's not really that sad about the whole thing. She's the greatest, she's such a sweetheart, she's so funny."
"I don't think Jennifer hates [Angelina Jolie], I don't think it's like that. The way they depict it is completely wrong. She's a very strong woman, she's totally solid and she's just got a great attitude."

Miguel Arteta said:
"She reminds me of Mary Pickford, who, even though she was glamorous, played regular people, seemed very approachable and had an uncanny knack for physical comedy and drama."
"The good thing is, when she came to the set, she really just gave herself to the whole thing. I didn't feel as though we were dealing with a super-celebrity, or anything like that, she was just part of the ensemble."
"[Jake Gyllenhaal and Jennifer] are subtle actors. They're great. They're amazing. That is why you gotta cast Jennifer Aniston in this part. To hear her deliver a line like that. Yeah, she's awesome."
"She had all these funny people around her with funny stuff to do around her, and she's such a comic genius, she could go head to head with you guys. But she was really restrained."
"She's not harsh in real life. This was pretty intense, talking about 'who needs a fucking baby anyway.' It was pretty intense."
"[Jennifer and Jake Gyllenhaal] had never done a full-on love scene before. They were both screen virgins. I'm really grateful for their trust to go ahead and really put themselves into this. I can't imagine being an actor. It must be insanely absurd and hard."
"[Jennifer and John C. Reilly] were very comfortable. They shot this scene at the end of the schedule. They were, like, 'This scene is going to be a piece of cake.'"
"She's really into it, as a performer. She's really amazing. It was really amazing that she got how restrained this part had to be. There wasn't much discussion about it on the set. She just came prepared in a way that just seemed to make sense."
"I love the walk she made for the character. She came to the set with all these ideas, and it was great."
"It's amazing what she got across with this close-up, here. It's like you almost get it all from just this look, here. Directing is weird, how you get these people to act things out and they don't seem like part of you."
"You do want [Justine, Jennifer's character] to get caught, but you're also, like... you know, because of Jennifer's performance, you're hoping that she gets what she wants. This was a very intense day on the set. We did this scene and the next one, where they're crying. They spent the whole day crying. All morning. All afternoon. We shot close-ups for this scene, but this was an instance where they're worn out and you're just... The two of them [Jen and John C. Reilly] are really great. It's a two-and-a-half minute take. They go from comedy to drama. Back and forth. All within this take. It was great. It was a treat. I remember, my lawyer was on set and her cell phone went off in the middle of this scene. John was, like, 'My God, how could you do that to me?' I felt so bad. She felt so bad. I'm really proud we were able to do it in one shot."
"She's incredibly beautiful, but it's not other-worldly beauty, like a Sharon Stone. She's very relatable."
"She can do great dramatic work. But in a way, The Good Girl is the first role that has a real wide range of emotions all in one movie."
"I was amazed. It was a physical transformation. She's a very happy, animated person in real life. She's the emotional center of the movie."
