"Friends" co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow admitted they developed pretty high standards when picking new projects after the popular series wrapped in 2004.

The two actresses hilariously interviewed each other for Variety, in which they reminisced about the show and lavished each other with praise.

As Aniston gushed over Kudrow's performance in the Netflix series "Space Force," the 56-year-old admitted that saying "yes" to her part wasn't easy.

"I have a commitment issue since 'Friends,' to be honest with you," Kudrow confessed, which wasn't that bizarre of an admission to her former co-star. Aniston sympathized, "Just fear of committing to something because nothing will ever be as good as Friends? I understand."

Kudrow went on to explain how the cast was so supportive.

"We all still love each other. Our cast is like that, and that’s why that worked," the "Booksmart" star explained. "I think part of me died. I can’t do that again."

Kudrow clarified she doesn't feel this way about the projects she produces herself. "Maybe I’m just becoming a f------ nut as I grow older," she surmised. "That’s possible."

As for Aniston, she explained that her return to television on Apple TV Plus' "The Morning Show" was a no-brainer, not because she related to the character she played but because "there were a lot of things that were really fun and there to play with."

The 51-year-old also showed off her impressive memory skills, recalling what everyone wore during the first "Friends" table read ... everyone except her, that is.

The two will star together in a future HBO Max "Friends" reunion special.
