 And though he now knows the stories weren't true, he believed them at first. "I thought she was having an affair with someone. Nobody would've said something like that if she weren't."When asked about the chances of a reconciliation, Arquette seemed unsure. "I love Courteney," he said. "I don't know right now. I want us to be the best people we can be, and then if it's together -- I want her to be happy, and if me even being the best person I can be doesn't make her happy in a partner -- like, who she needs, whatever she's looking for -- that's still to be answered." ||||| Courteney Cox Opens Up: The Interview 
  
 It's not easy to remain the picture of grace when your husband divulges details of your sex life on Howard Stern--and then follows it up with a late night out dirty dancing with a dwarf stripper. Courteney Cox, however, has managed to do just that. Instead of flinging poison arrows at her estranged husband, David Arquette, from whom she separated last year, her arsenal is loaded with only mannered diplomacy. 
  
 Arriving to dinner in Malibu, the star of the hit ABC show Cougar Town is in a tissue-thin long-sleeved tee, slim pants, and flats, her jet-black hair still damp from a shower and her lineless face devoid of makeup, save for a slash of crimson lipstick. Her daughter, Coco, six, was not a fan of the pick-me-up color, however. "I have to battle with her," says Courteney, thankful to have slipped in unnoticed. "I was walking out, and she goes, 'I don't want you to wear red lipstick.'" 
  
 Sipping a glass of red wine, she is initially guarded as she contemplates her personal state of affairs--including David's recent stint in rehab. "I think every relationship has a point where you stop and reevaluate. Are you happy? Have you grown together or apart? What do you share interests in? I think that's a normal thing to do, but it's so much harder when it's done publicly." 
  
 Courteney's outward affability masks that she is a savvy media envoy. Having been famous for more than 20 years, she's accustomed to the attention. "I look to her to see how she handles things," says former Friends costar Lisa Kudrow, "because she always does it so well." 
  
 In an effort to get out of the L.A. fray, Courteney has decamped to her Malibu home with Coco. The 45-plus-minute drive lets her shake even the most dedicated paparazzi who hang out at Coco's school and the Cox-Arquette home in the Hollywood Hills. "She's adjusting," says Courteney. "Luckily, we've always had two houses, so there was no change in her living unit. And we both work a lot, so that wasn't a huge adjustment. She's our number-one priority. No matter what happens, she'll be okay because she knows that she is completely safe, loved, and we'll protect that more than anything in the world." 
  
 It's a testament to Courteney's magnanimity that she refuses to speak ill of her husband, whom she married 11 years ago, after meeting on the set of the first Scream in 1996, even though she has suffered some very public humiliations at his hands. But she rather genuinely seems not to be angry at him or embarrassed by his hijinks. "If you didn't hear the Howard Stern interviews and you just read quotes, I'm sure it seemed out of context, crazy," she explains. "I'm not saying there wasn't some crazy behavior, but if you know who David is, you know what his intentions are, how honest he is, and how big his heart is." 
  
 Indeed, listening to David's plaintive, heartbroken voice on the radio show and subsequently on Oprah, his emotions register as amplified pain, not cavalier braggadocio. "You can't really get mad at David because he's not a malicious person," she says. "He was dealing with things the best way he could. And don't get me wrong, he was on a show for entertainment. David is smart, and David is also a showman. He knew what he was doing." She pauses. "I don't know what's going to happen, but I don't think he'll be doing more Howard Stern any time soon. He's not out to harm. But I'm his biggest protector. I can't help it." 
  
 As the separation was Courteney's idea, taking the higher ground is par for the course. She doesn't fire off a laundry list of reasons for the split. "I just had a moment of looking at our relationship, and there wasn't anything in particular , but it brought up a lot of stuff," she says before succumbing to a moment of black humor. "Maybe on second thought, don't reevaluate. Just keep going. Don't rock the boat. Repression is fantastic." 
  
 All joking aside, it's hard to sweep anything under the carpet when your personal life has become tabloid fodder. David's admission of a brief entanglement with a cocktail waitress was hard to ignore, but she still grants him some leeway. "He absolutely did nothing that wasn't in the boundaries of what we set for our separation, so there's nothing to judge," she says. "I may not have known about it, but that's the only difference." 
  
 Their seven-year age gap--Courteney is 46 to David's 39--doesn't register to her as the crux of their issues, however. "Most guys aren't that mature, are they? They just don't think the way we think." She does admit, "I thought I had always been a little bit of a cougar with David." That said, the term does not have a negative connotation for her. She contends that it reads as a position of power rather than weakness or desperation. "I don't find the whole cougar word that offensive," she says. "And also, a cougar is someone who takes care of herself and goes out with younger guys. She doesn't need a man to take care of her." |||||

Courteney Cox just can’t get mad at David Arquette, even if he did blab about their sex life to Howard Stern. “He’s not a malicious person. … He’s not out to harm,” she explains in a Harper’s Bazaar cover story. “I'm not saying there wasn't some crazy behavior, but if you know who David is, you know what his intentions are, how honest he is, and how big his heart is … I’m his biggest protector. I can’t help it.” More from the interview: On her relationship with Arquette: “I thought I had always been a little bit of a cougar with David. I don't find the whole cougar word that offensive. And also, a cougar is someone who takes care of herself and goes out with younger guys. She doesn't need a man to take care of her.” On the possibility of a reunion: “We loved each other so much … If it doesn't work out, I will have huge waves of pain about failing in that department. But right now I don't have that because I don't know what the future holds and I guess because I have strong feelings for him.” On rumors that her co-star is her new boy toy: “He's a really good friend of mine, so I don't care. It just doesn't matter. He's a great guy, and he's definitely been a part of my support system.” On dating: “I have no desire right now. I'm not saying never; it just seems weird. I don't even know how that would happen or how you meet people. I don't like to go out. I'm not great at small talk … I don't like to go to parties. There's a sign on my forehead: exiting social life, entering into isolation.” Click for Arquette's most recent interview about the split, with Oprah.
