In an interview with People, Arquette has revealed that Craven was the one who encouraged him to date his co-star and wife, Courteney Cox. He also revealed how his words shaped his thoughts and made him approach Courteney. Talking about it, he says-

“Wes had a real impact. [He was] like, ‘David, you know she likes you and you should really get your stuff together.’ He gave me a real man-to-man talk and that had an impact on the course of my life.”

Arquette also recollected about meeting Cox for the first time, at that point she was an established actor and was already famous for her role as Monica from the show Friends and the Scream actor revealed that he was always her fan.
