Speaking at Marie Claire’s Power Play event (via People) in Santa Monica, Calif., with the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Nikki Ogunnaike, Cox addressed how she gained confidence and ambition with her growing age.

Admitting how she now values time over anything, Courteney Cox stated that her fear of losing out on time has made her stop worrying about saying “no” to people or things. “I think you value your time and also, you want to do everything you can. At least, that’s the way I feel.” the actress shared.

Courteney Cox Recalled the Ugly Side of Her FRIENDS Journey
As Courteney Cox opened up about her newfound confidence with her age, the Scream alum looked back upon her years, when she suffered from insecurity. Revealing when she was a member of the cast of the global hit FRIENDS, Cox confessed to lacking courage in herself.
“There was a time when I was on Friends and I didn’t have enough confidence to go after things that I could have or should have. So maybe I was being more of an imposter back then.”
When FRIENDS premiered in 1994, Courteney Cox was on 30. And according to the actress, back then she was battling with insecurity, people-pleasing, and lack of ambition. However, now, Cox admitted to taking more chances and putting more effort into things she wants.

“But now, I don’t feel like I am because I take more chances and I do more research and I try harder. I think things may have come easier back then. And now I realize in order to feel great about myself, you have to put the work in — in every way. There’s not one thing that I don’t give a hundred percent now, whereas before I might’ve skated by.”
Further, explaining her ambition in different stages of her life and career, Courteney Cox proceeded to express her love for piano, cooking, tennis, and other things she learned during the lockdown, following the COVID pandemic.
