Other People on Jen

- in alphabetical order, sorted by last name

Kevin Bacon said:
"We had a connection almost immediately. She has a real good sense of when something's not playing true. That's a great thing because when you're working with someone like that it always challenges you not to fall into your own traps."

Kym Barrett (costume designer for Rumor Has It...) said:
"Jennifer had some very strong ideas of what Sarah would wear. She didn't particularly want 'designed' clothes, as Sarah isn't exactly a fashion-plate. We ended up making some of her costumes but other things that she wears we bought and then altered to make them look more like something she would wear in the period."

Jason Bateman (co-star in The Break-Up)said:
"[Vince Vaughn's] one of the funniest guys I've been around. She couldn't have picked a better person to spend a few months with while she's going through all this. Vince really looks out for her."

Andrea Bendewald said:
"Jennifer Aniston and I are best friends since we were 14, so the greatest part of doing the show personally was working with Jen. And also I had gotten engaged a week before when I got a call to come to the part. I said, 'I'll do anything. I'll carry a tea cup.' I called Jen, and she had no idea. So we got to spend a week at work, talking about being engaged, looking at wedding dresses together, so I was through the roof. And it was a trip professionally, because I know the cast really well but to be acting with them in front of an audience really was kind of like a dream."
"Jennifer has done some rebuilding, restructuring, realigning and she came out this beautiful woman who is standing up tall and happy and full. I thought she was amazing two years ago, but now I look at her and say, 'Slow down! You're gonna start levitating soon, you're so happy.'"
"Don't let her fool you. The boys always thought she was beautiful back then. The world around her has changed in the last few years. The way the world perceives her has changed. But Jennifer hasn't changed. She has always been a light for those of us who know her. She's not someone who sits around and gets her feet massaged. At the shower a few of her friends gave her before her marriage, I took her aside and said, 'Remember when we were kids and we would say we were going to move to California and be actresses and marry beautiful men? Well, it's all come true.'"
"She just kind of bounced up to me and went, 'Hi!', and I went, 'Hi!' and that's really what started it. We've been friends ever since."
"Jennifer's acting teacher (Anthony Abeson) was the one who told her, 'You're funny. You're really funny.'"
"Jennifer had interesting hairdos in high school. She wore, like a lot of make-up, dark eyes and she was beautiful."
"She got an agent, right out of high school and her agent was in New York, so she started auditioning."
"She was nervous (about her first off-Broadway role) and excited and she was also ready. She'd been studying acting and wanting to be an actress for so long."
"I remember her saying to me, 'I think this show might be different from the other shows. It just feels really good and I love all the people on it. We had so much fun during the pilot.'"
"We took acting very seriously. Acting, studying and boys. Also, both our parents divorced when we were young, so we understood the pain of separated families, the back and forth of it all."

Elizabeth Berkeley said:
"She's a total pro."

Phillip Bloch (her stylist) said:
"It's not like she has the biggest breasts, but she has beautiful breasts. She's not the most beautiful, but she's really pretty. She's not the most of anything, but all of it just works."
"She's always sexy, even in overalls and a tank top and she's also fashion fearless."
"She's like, 'No, that's fine, I'll just put a G-string on.'" - on when he offered her matching underwear for a sheer dress

Lorenzo di Bonaventura (producer of Derailed) said:
"She's a smooth-working instrument."

Debbie Bosse (mother of Ellie Claire Bosse, who played an infant in TGG) said:
"She was great with Ellie. She would keep her after the cameras stopped rolling, playing with her. It's obvious she loves children."

Jason Botterill (hockey player) said:
"It would have to be Jennifer Aniston, [for her obvious good looks]." - when asked which actress should play his love interest in a movie

Kevin S. Bright said:
"She was the part. She was funny. She was pretty. It all came through one big stroke.

Ed Burns, director of She's The One, said:
"Everyone who's seen the film so far has been blown away by her performance. It's nothing like her character on FRIENDS. The girl can act!

Eddie Cahill (Tag Jones on Friends) said:
"When I was hired, I knew that there was the possibility that Tag and Rachel would become a couple, but it wasn't a sure thing. That being said, the possibility alone was incredibly exciting."

Kelly Carlson (Nip/Tuck) said:
"Look at Jennifer Aniston. She doesn't diet. She goes running. And she's gorgeous. Why aren't people focusing on that?"

Glenn Gordon Caron (director of Picture Perfect) said:
"On some level, everything Jennifer does as an actor has to be with the business of being a human being. What makes her special isn't peculiar to youth. I could see her working into her 60's."
"Like everyone else in the country. I watch 'Friends' and think she is fantastic. We understood each other very quickly and I knew she'd get to the heart of her performance right away. You see, as a director, if you are really prolific, you make one film a year. If you are a motion picture star, you may make two or three films a year. Jennifer, on the other hand, has been doing a television show for three years which puts her in a heightened state of readiness as an actress. This is her first starring role, and she was in every scene, every day. She did a wonderful job."
"I knew Illeana's Darcy would make a great counterpart for Jennifer's Kate. Their relationship reminded me of the relationship Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau had in 'The Fortune Cookie'."
"Very few people can be funny and intelligent. She's got the chops to be a wonderful dramatic actress."
"Her character does things that are not very nice, [but] we forgive her. That's a quality that's rare among actors. Jack Lemmon had it; we let him sin and then redeem himself. Tom Hanks has it. But women, as a rule, are not afforded the opportunity, or we don't recognize it as quickly in them. It's a great gift that she has."
"Jennifer exudes an extraordinary humanity, which you need to do this kind of comedy. No matter what kind of ridiculous or morally questionable things Kate does, you can always hear her heart beating."
"When I told Jennifer that Kevin Bacon had signed on, she went, 'I can't act with Kevin Bacon! I love Kevin Bacon!' She was so humble, so adorable."

Jim Carrey said:
"Brad was constantly haranguing me. Did you kiss her, did you kiss her? No, he came around once or twice, very nice gentleman, really cool guy. They make a great couple, really sweet. She's tremendous. We work well off each other because Jennifer is a completely different person than me. I'm a person who just throws myself out there and does wild stuff and she's like the center of the wheel. She's the type of person that can sit there and allow things to come to her. I seek them out and destroy them. It's a wonderful kind of mix. She's very solid and very centered. You look at all magazines you see her in and you just think it's amazing. Before you know her you wonder why are people so interested in this person. They just never seem to get enough of her and then you meet her and you go there's a reason. She's just a very cool centered person. Sometimes when you meet people like that you're disappointed at the reality of them. The idea is always better. Sometimes they're playing an idea and she's just being herself."
"Yeah, he [Brad Pitt] was all over me like a cheap suit. He kept saying 'Watch it buddy! No tongue!'"
"Brad turned to me and said 'THANKS man!' " - on the BA scene where he lets the breasts of Jen grow bigger

Vincent Cassel said:
"I was glad to work and have any scene with Jennifer, but it's not like I was like "Oh my God! I'm going to be kissing Jennifer!"

George Clooney said:
"[Jennifer and Brad] are really fun. She'd come by the Ocean's set, and you look over and go, 'Well, there's a homely couple!'"
"When it's suggested that such an offspring would emerge glowing or just explode- too much for Earth."
"Whenever you're in trouble you throw it to Jennifer and she makes the lines sing. I would read things in the draft and go, 'Wow, I don't think that works.' And then I'd see Jennifer do it and say, 'All right, I was wrong.'"

George Clooney/Brad Pitt said:
George: "We had some good water balloon fights. I hit [Jennifer Aniston] in the head and she cracked her head on the window. I felt bad about that."
Brad: "Well you know, if you're going to play with the big boys..." BUT "She kept going. I think she got a shot off after that. She's got an arm."
George: "She did. She kept firing. She's tough."

Ted Cohen (Executive Producer on Friends) said:
"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."

Steven Cojocaru said:
"I've always thought she was amazing because less is more and if your style is minimalist, go with it. This year (2006) was the emancipation of Jennifer! She really sort of came out and there was something fiery about her, and she wore great, sexy clothes."

Kevin Costner said:
"Well she's quite good and she's the lead, I'm just a supporting character in this. And she's beautiful and she's working really hard, she's very funny and we got Shirley MacLaine so it's just really fun."
"Uh yeah. We wrestled. We wrestle in the dark. And we do that too (kiss) She shoves me up against a wall. It's love ain't it." - On his love scene with Jennifer
"She's a decent woman. And that's a.. that should minimize how great it is. That's a good thing to say about a very decent person. And that's a quality in which we could all be described and feel good about that."
"She's a very pretty woman, and very, very talented."

David Crane said:
"Look at Jennifer. She was amazing in so many of the scenes we did regarding Rachel's pregnancy, like 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 sad 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 that's 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..."
"There needs to be some special element to make people want to pay money to see people they've been getting every Thursday night for nothing. Whether that element is The Good Girl, where she's doing something entirely different, or Bruce Almighty, where it's got a size you never see on television, [then] you'll go, 'That I want to see.'"
"Jennifer is wonderful at playing zany -- she's always pushing to do more physical comedy. But she can also break your heart."
"What makes her extraordinary is that she can do emotional stuff in a way that feels so moving."

David Cross said:
"I'd say hotter. But she was hotter in a different way than I expected - in a really 'together' way. You forget about how hot a woman can be when she's completely independent and her own person. She's awesome." - when asked, "Is Jennifer Aniston as Hot or Hotter Than You'd Expect in Person?"

Sheryl Crow said:
"Jen's an amazingly soulful person. She was completely generous in spirit and embracing and loving and compassionate and wise."
"I think what she's had to go through has been kind of demoralizing. To see that we're stooping this low to press so heavily into somebody's personal life and to vilify them, it's discouraging. Yet she handles all of it with an immense amount of grace and compassion. She seems to always be operating from the heart."

Joan Cusack said:
"She was very professional, and very relaxed and funny and pleasant and great. She was really great."
