Courteney Cox: Cool Cox
Q: Where'd you go on your honeymoon?
A: Angola and St. Martin. Then we went on a roller-coaster tour. We love them.
Q: Don't you also bungee jump?
A: I bungee jumped once when we got engaged, down in Panama City We did it together at a strip mini-mall. Before we jumped they said, "Do you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior?" and they read us John 3:16.
[At this point, David comes out to pour us more wine]
Q: How much do you love your wife?
DAVID ARQUETTE: I love her beyond belief.
Q: How did you know that she was the one?
DA: Because ultimately when I really, like, looked at what I wanted out of a relationship, she was it.
Q: You're only 28. How did you know what you ultimately wanted?
CCA: That's what I kept asking him. How do you know, David?
DA: I knew for a long time what I really wanted--a caring, loving person who's open with her feelings and communicates a nurturer.
Q: How did you recognize it in Courteney?
DA: It's a feeling you know in your heart. [David exits once again.]
Q: During your six years with Michael Keaton, did you ever contemplate marriage?
A: Michael was my longest relationship and most important before David. David is my dream, but, yeah, I'm sure when I was with Michael I thought he was someone I would end up being with.
Q: Is it too personal to ask why your relationship with Michael didn't work out?
A: I'd love to one day talk to him about it, because we've never done that. He's really private. But I got burned once by People magazine when I spoke maybe two sentences and they wrote on the cover that I discussed "My sad breakup with Michael Keaton." And I hadn't. Your question was why did we break up? I just think we weren't right for each other ultimately.
Q: Was it a mutual breakup?
A: It was mutual. I was too young to know what it was that I needed in a relationship.
Q: Did he send you a wedding gift? A congratulatory note?
A: No.
Q: Do you find that sad?
A: It's weird. When I got engaged I was wondering how that works. Like, do you call? I didn't know what the protocol was, so I figured it was best not to do anything.
Q: Besides gossip about your breakup with Michael Keaton, there has been gossip about your weight. Has that bothered you?
A: There's so much [gossip] that goes around, I'd like to start a file: Who Gives a Shit. People asked me, "Are you bulimic?" I said no, but then they wrote on their cover: "She talks about her bulimia!" I wouldn't throw up if you paid me. I thought the rumors were so stupid. I eat so much, but I just have the metabolism of a hummingbird.
Q: How did the rumors begin?
A: I lost weight and people thought I was too thin. They still think I'm too thin.
Q: Does your mother think so, too?
A: Oh yeah. She would like me to be heavier. But it's weird--we don't see ourselves right, I don't think I'm too thin at all. I understand when people say, "Well, your face gets gaunt," but to get your bottom half to be the right size, your face might have to be a little gaunt. You choose your battles.
