Courteney Cox: Cruising Along

Q: Are you a better party-giver than party-goer?

A: I'm not comfortable leaving my house. If someone invites me over, I would go but it's not like I'm one to say, "Hey, let's hang out at your house tonight." I make it simple. There are a thousand sodas in the refrigerator as well as different kinds of beer and wine, food and chips.

Q: Do you do theme parties?

A: Sometimes I'll say, "Let's do Mexican," because there's almost nothing better. I've known Judy for over two years now. The best part is coming home and smelling this amazing food and asking, "Oh, wow, what is that?" I don't like venison or sushi--I don't want to eat what some people think are "luxurious" foods. Although I love eating at Nobu. That's a luxury.

Q: Are the Arquettes people you hang out with?

A: Oh, yeah. It's great. On Sundays, Patricia and Rosanna come over. Patricia lives up the street from us and Rosanna has a child named Zoe, and they come over on the weekends almost every week. The boys, Richmond and Alexis, I don't see as much, but we make a point of having family get-togethers. Everybody is really supportive of each other in that family. I'm very fortunate. I love every one of them. They're my family. [a male voice calls for the dogs]

Q: Who's that?

A: Now, that's a luxury--having a dog walker. It makes me happy knowing the dogs are happy. I took the dogs out for a walk this morning, then Hopper came to work with me all day and now they're both going out for their afternoon walk for a whole hour. The walker is so sweet. He lives up the street. I think he's someone's chauffeur.

Q: You're unusual because most actresses would name clothes and jewelry as their favorite luxuries, but you've named houses and a dog walker.

A: I have almost no clothes in my closet. I'm not a big clothes person. But I do love cashmere sweaters by Lucienne--I can't think of the full name. I have five of them. I also love Prada. For casual stuff, Juicy.

Q: What other things do you consider luxurious?

A: I love fresh orchids and candles, especially by Illume.

Q: Are you a soak-in-a-tub-with-scented-oils type?

A: [laughs] No. I don't remember the last time I took a bath. The thought of it may sound good but by the time the tub has run, I'm over it. I'm a shower person. We installed a big marble shower with two shower heads. I love taking a shower at the same time David does. We have more fun in the shower--and I don't mean sexually. I'm just saying that we play there. We'll sing and have fun.

Q: Is your bathroom and dressing room full of products?

A: Can I say I'm kind of a product whore? [laughs]

Q: You just did.

A: I go through them a lot. I'm always looking for the one thing that's going to make me look younger or keep me from looking older. There's this product I love, Fabulous Facial Wash and that is the best facial wash. I buy it at Barneys, and everybody should know about it.

Q: Because you're so famous, would you say privacy is one of your biggest luxuries?

A: There isn't anything I can't do. I love roller coasters, and it can be a little difficult sometimes to go to Magic Mountain, but not really. So, you say hi to people and stop to take pictures, but I don't mind. It's a small price to pay for so many wonderful things that we get from fame.

Q: What are some of the wonderful things you get from fame? Free jewelry?

A: I'm lucky, David buys me most of my jewelry. He is a good gift-giver--he has great taste, and he's imaginative. He buys most of the vintage stuff from Neil Lane. I'd never think about going out and buying myself a purse, but David will buy me one. He's very fashionable. You're smiling.
