I started watching reality shows and being horrified at people signing up to be humiliated in front of the entire country. I saw one show, The Amazing Race (2001), in which people were eating spicy soup and vomiting and crying. Why would you do that? Also, I was fascinated by these actors and actresses who would sign up to be followed around by cameras in their life. You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy. I've been careful to keep my life separate because it's important to me to have privacy and for my life not to be a marketing device for a movie or a TV show. It's worth more than that. I'm worth more than that. Hide

Before you are famous you think, Oh, if you're famous you're loved and adored. Then, when you really experience that attention and everyone cares what you're doing and wants pictures of you, it doesn't feel like a warm hug. It really feels like an assault. Hide

[on working with Courteney Cox in 'Friends'] There's a code with actors. Actors don't give each other notes under any circumstances. She was giving us permission to give her notes, and we all agreed that that would be great. Why not? She was the one who set that tone and made it a real group. And I thought that was a real turning point. Hide
