Courteney Cox on being sensitive

Courteney Cox as First Lady Edith Wilson in Drunk History

“I have, like, hyper-awareness. It’s like a disease. I can’t help it. I notice everything.”

[From Courteney in Control, By Hilary De Vries, marieclaire.com August 2006.]

Another profile article says Courteney Cox, “who considers herself always to have been sensitive, has grown even more so since having a kid [daughter Coco]. To the point where she can’t bear to landscape the front of her house because it would involve killing the plants there.”

“I can’t tell you how much time I think about taking up the plants that don’t really work anymore,” she said. “Something has completely changed in me. I don’t know what happened. I’m sure it’s after Coco — I’m sure. I have a life to take care of.”

[From Courteney Cox: ‘Cougar Town’s’ really normal Hollywood star, By Kate Aurthur, Los Angeles Times, September 6, 2009]

More quotes by Courteney Cox :

“I came from a big family where everyone was talking and no one really listened, and I just need to be acknowledged.” …

“I was starting to notice some things, and I wanted to stop judging myself so much. I’m such a nurturer of others, I thought maybe it was time to start nurturing myself.” [About starting therapy again.]
