- in alphabetical order, sorted by last name
Margaret Nagle (writer) said:
"I'm currently working on two projects for Jennifer Aniston. Oh, that one can sing and she's such a joy to work with."
Kathy Najimy said:
"My first impression of her were the ones I have now. She's always been very supportive of me and my activism. Whether it's AIDS things or choice issues, you name it, she's done it. Now she's Queen Of The World, but there's no big challenge."
"You go through a lot of different relationships with friends, but never was I absolutely positive like I was with Brad. I saw how much he loved her. I went home and I was weepy about it. She was 100 percent herself with him, and that's all I really wish for my friends."
"Her clothes are the exact same. Her T-Shirts, her little tank tops, her cargo pants and her flip- flops."
"There's no insecurity going on. They're themselves. They do the things you and I do: go to restaurants, play games, go to work, go on trips. They really, truly are in love with each other."
"I think she handles her fame with extraordinary grace and I mean, she's literally one of the most famous people in the universe. And, at the same time, really one of the kindest, authentic, original, wonderful people I've ever met in my life."
"I'll tell you one thing for sure. Jennifer would never compromise a relationship for a career choice."
"It's not like she woke up one morning and said, 'I'm mad at my mom.' She's really made such huge efforts to try to get it straight. But sometimes it's more productive to say, 'Distance is going to heal this.' That's where she is now."
"She cares about what people think of her."
Clive Owen said:
"I get close to Jen but it's not straightforward, it's twisted and freaky. There are love scenes but not the type you would expect."
"Considering all the pressure she's under, the magnitude of public interest, she is surprisingly grounded, a lovely girl and a very, very good actress."
"She's lovely, incredibly level-headed considering the spotlight that is on her. Its an inspired casting, she's a really great actress whether she's playing a straight part or comedy."
"Comedy is very, very difficult to pull off, you know? And she's very, very good at it, and very def(t), and you have to be very smart to play comedy well. So, it's just applying it to something else. I don't think that, you know, it's-it's a huge leap for her in that way. It's just that she maybe hasn't done it before."
"Both Julia [Roberts] and Jennifer are the nicest actresses and people. They genuinely are. You don't know what to expect, and you find the loveliest, smartest person you could have ever wished for."
Trey Parker (Southpark) said:
"You know, when Comedy Central asked us to do a Thanksgiving episode, the first thought that went through my mind was, "Boy, I'd like to have sex with Jennifer Aniston."
Amanda Peet said:
"I love her, love her, love her."
Robin Wright Penn said:
"I was approached first with ... 'Hey, you want to do this short that Jennifer Aniston's directing?' And I said, 'Yeah, I do!' because I always loved her from afar. And then they told me that it was stories made by women for women and I just thought, what a great opportunity. This is the new millennium for women. Women are in film. They're here. There is a pulse. It's just we need to open the screen door."
"I loved working with Jennifer. She's very in tune and a very calm presence. There's such a genuine feeling on the set, just, you know,
girls. There was a real sense of that community. And she being the leader, she was incredible."
"[Jennifer] was very loving and calm and knew what she wanted. She's not aggressive, meaning mean. But (she's) assertive with her vision, and making sure that everybody was in the team together."
Rosie Perez said:
"We had a real boost from Jennifer Aniston (doing the 24-Hours Play on Broadway). She was as sweet as pie. I really appreciated her coming because she raised the profile of tonight's event and that is going to help so much. She didn't have to do this. She didn't have to take time out of her schedule."
"The 24 Hour Plays people approached her and she said yes. But when she found out about Working Playground, she was over the moon. She said, 'I'll do all the press. I'll do whatever you want.'"
"She's got chops. She said she had performed Off-Broadway. She's really, really good."
Matthew Perry said:
"Jenny... Jenny is a really hard worker. Jenny, being very sweet and stuff, has had some stuff in her life that she had to address and she just has. Right in front of our eyes I've watched Jen blossom into this beautiful woman."
"She has an intelligent sexiness about her. She's not making that much effort, and that's what women appreciate."
"Let's just say you want to think twice before getting into a car with her."
"I was inspired by Jennifer's wedding. It was the most romantic night of my life, and I wasn't even getting married."
"I kind of had that feeling of you're just about to cry for five hours, but Jennifer Aniston's over there sobbing so you have to go take care of her."
"Another person I'd walk through fire for." (the first being Bruce Willis)
"She's not afraid to look kind of goofy and still be real."
"That was the look, right? That didn't sweep the nation." - referring to a hilarious looking hairdo of Jen's in high school
"We auditioned for a movie read called, if I remember correctly, Camp Cucamonga, which she got and I didn't."
"Ferris Bueller was, you know, a great movie and I think she probably had high hopes for it." - referring to the short-lived series Ferris Bueller
"We all had our share of failed TV shows. Just goes to show you that one great person is not a hit."
"I probably had more haircuts. But she certainly had the more famous one. She'll still love if that came up. That's her favorite thing to talk about."
"God gave with both hands to Jenny. Yeah, she has personified that kind of - you know, she's very beautiful and also can be really funny and that's odd, that's rare. And that's why, I think, she's been so successful."
"She's a very hard worker, and I mean mostly in her life. If there's some issue, she goes and just works it out."
"She's worked hard to put herself in a position to do what she wants to do."
"I don't know anything that she is not capable of."
Brad Pitt said:
"Jen is one of the warmest people I met, we all crowd around her. She's like that fire we all crowd around for warmth. There's not an ill-intentioned bone in that woman's body. She's really extraordinary that way. She brings people together."
"I like being married, and Jen is great. She doesn't even mind me eating ice-cream in bed."
"I never thought being married would make me feel this way. It's an amazing feeling. I look at Jen and think...she's my wife."
"Marriage is great. It's made me feel very good about taking this kind of journey together with a terrific woman who wants to share my life and share the journey with me."
"I like girls like my wife. She's funny, she's a pain, and she makes me laugh. She's not the greatest at sports, but she still tries, which makes me laugh more. She gets on my nerves and I get on her nerves and then she makes me laugh again. She's got a lot of personality."
"We bicker over household chores and who forgot to turn off the coffee machine. I believe I'm the one who does it all, and she believes she's the one who does it all."
"Jen gets a lot done when she's asleep. She'll, like - I think you've heard this story, I caught her outside one night. The alarm was going off, and I found her outside - literally, she had to negotiate through, like, three or four rooms, and I find her standing outside. We were living on the cliff that time. It was not good. Other times, I'll hear drawers opening and closing in the other room,
and I figure, `I'll just go back to sleep, she'll be back. She'll get some stuff done... She speaks a lot. Yeah, we've had some of our best conversations. Really moving. I think the latest one, she went on some five-minute dissertation on the need for 'Tuesdays with morrie' in our contemporary society, or something like that. She gets in there. I learned a lot. She is teaching me things. But my favourite one was a few years back, and I'm laying there, and it's deathly silent. I can't sleep. She's sleeping peacefully, and all of a sudden, I hear, 'Bring on the young men in the uniform!'"
"Jen and I -- everything is on the table with us. We discuss everything. She asked if I was in the doghouse."
"She's fantastic, she's complicated, she's wise, she's fair, she has great empathy for others... and she's just so cool."
"She's really extraordinary... she has taught me a lot. She's one of the warmest people I ever met."
"We talk about it all the time. I'm on to it, don't worry. I think
Friends is hilarious. I will be sad when that show goes off air. But I cannot wait for everyone else to see things she can do, because that show is just one facet of her talent."
"The bathroom was the first thing in the house I worked on at the time Jen and I were really hooking up strong. Things are on your mind... and I guess I had a dirty mind at the time. It is a bit hedonistic in there. It is a sexy room, it works."
"My wife loves jewellery, and I love my wife. She's always my inspiration. I started doing this because I wanted to make something special for her."
"My wife is cool, very funny, great to be with."
"I can't wait to shave (my beard) off. Jennifer can't kiss me properly."
"What can I tell ya, I love my wife! Listen, it's not that complicated, really. On the phone with my wife, or hanging out with (George Clooney)!"
"I just think it's my favorite movie of the year. I'm a little biased, but I'm also a good critic. So take my word on it. It's subtle. It's delicious. Believe me." - on
The Good Girl
"I laughed, I cried. It's a gem. Trust me -- it's a gem."- on
The Good Girl
"[This is] three times for me. It's my favorite movie of the year!" - on
The Good Girl
"There aren't many actors I would feel comfortable seeing kiss my wife, and you [Bruce Willis] aren't one of them." - taped message referring to Willis' Emmy Award winning stint on
Friends as Jennifer's love interest
"I've always known she was amazing. I don't think anything blossomed in her this year [2002, The Good Girl] that wasn't there already. It just seems the rest of the world is waking up to what has been there all along."
Freddie Prinze Jr. said:
"Jennifer is the sweetest, 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."
Peyton Reed (director of The Break-Up) said:
"Vince and Jen had great chemistry. They worked so well on all levels - they were great together."
"It's an anti-romantic comedy. They start playing on each other's insecurities and there's a level of gamemanship there that you can imagine gets pretty intense. It was kind of an adventue to be doing rehearsals and you look out and there all these guys with nine-foot telephoto lenses trained at you.
I found myself being very protective of Jen, but she's so amazing and such a caring person she wound up being protective of me. It was really unbelievable."
"She is every bit a movie star. When she comes on-screen, you can't take your eyes off her."
"The film is a comedy that we tried really hard to ground in reality, so that a lot of the arguments this couple has as they are breaking up are very real. Working opposite Vince, Jen gets to flex her comedic muscles, which are formidable, but she also gets to do a lot of dramatic work in the movie. She just knocked it out of the park."
"Had I not gone to the newsstand and seen the tabloids, I would never have known something of that magnitude was going on. She was able to come to work and dig in and just make it a joy every day. Only Jen can speak about her process, but her performance in the movie, when it hits those notes of pain at the end of a relationship, has an immediacy that I was just blown away by."
"When I came on board, Vince was obviously attached, but we had not cast a Brooke yet. He's also 6'5'', so you have to cast someone who can really be a presence in the frame. It takes a tough woman to be able to spar with Vince's rapid delivery on screen, and Jennifer definitely holds her own. I loved the idea of the potential chemistry between these two actors."
"Vince and Jen would stick close to the script. But after a couple of takes, when we knew we had it, we'd just let 'em go."
"It became very clear on Day 1 that [Jennifer and Vince] had crazy chemistry."
"[Ann-Margret] is the perfect mom for Jennifer. They got along really well. [Ann-Margret] got a kick out of it."
"It was fun making
The Break-Up. It's fantastic to work with Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston as they are both at the top of their game. There was a great rapport with them on set."
Andrew Reich (Executive Producer on Friends) said:
"Jennifer has an ability to make the audience empathize with her that's unprecedented."
John C. Reilly said:
"A regular girl. She seems like the girls who were wearing her hairstyle."
"Y'know, for all her popularity and glamour she's kind of an 'every-woman'. There's something about her that girls across the suburbs of the world can relate to."
"I'd heard of her, obviously, and her haircut surrounded me for a couple of years when every girl had it. But I was like, 'Jennifer Aniston? That girl on the TV show? Wait, explain that to me.'"
"She's the real deal, just real ordinary. She put to rest whatever questions people had."
Rob Reiner (director of Rumor Has It...) said:
"Jennifer takes us through Sarah's emotional journey. She's sexy and adorable and plays comedy as well as very real emotion. It's a rare combination to find in someone."
Julia Roberts said:
"Oh gosh... sunshine... pure sunshine... just sunny. Ugh... and his wife -
moonshine. Just perfect. They're both so... ugh. yes." - when asked what she thinks when she hears Brad Pitt's name
Paul Rudd said:
"I'm in the makeup trailer this morning. And all the women were talking about how much they love Jennifer Aniston. They don't know her! But they do love her. People have the nerve to walk up and ask the most personal questions. The biggest testament to Jen is that she doesn't make them feel stupid for asking. She graciously responds."
"She discovered "fart in a can". That pretty much took over the entire shoot. Everyone was obsessed. I don't care if you're a surgeon or a plumper - farts are funny, and they never get old." - on Jen's obsession with farts
Mark Ruffalo said:
"Awesome. Love her. I had such a good time. So classy, kind, and in the face of everything that she was going through - which at the time I had no idea - I even love her more."
