Courteney Cox's Quotes

• It's not like I let people do things for me, so I guess you can call me a control freak, or you can call me passionate... I'm not a passive person by any stretch of the imagination.
• I get so bored! I had a treadmill... I gave it to my mom. I had a stairmaster... gone. I had a recumbent bike... I don't know where that is. So I hate exercise except for Pilates.
• 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 comedies - my taste goes much more to the offbeat and dark. I'd love to sink my teeth into something like Fargo (1996).
