Matthew Perry still keeps his Friends close.

The Friends, Loves and the Big Terrible Thing author shared his thoughts on longtime pal Jennifer Aniston and the rest of his costars from the hit sitcom, sharing he wishes the cast would get together more often.

When asked about his current friendship with Aniston, the 53-year-old told Access Hollywood: "Wonderful, she's terrific." That said, Perry acknowledged, "We don't see each other as much. I wish the group would see each other more times, but she's the greatest."

The comment comes shortly after Perry released the book detailing his struggle with addiction and his time in the spotlight.

In a previous conversation with PEOPLE, Perry shared how his Friends costars dealt with his addiction while filming the show.

"They were understanding, and they were patient," he said. "It's like penguins. In nature, when one is sick or very injured, the other penguins surround it and prop it up and walk around until that penguin can walk on its own. And that's kind of what the cast did for me."

Of his own ways to deal with his battle, he added, "I thought being funny all the time was how I would get through. I thought [Friends] was going to fix everything. It didn't."

In the book, Perry also revealed he once had a crush on Aniston. He admitted once she married Brad Pitt, he knew his chance with her was gone. Despite never making a love connection, Perry told Diane Sawyer that Aniston remained in contact the most through his sobriety journey.

"She was the one that reached out the most. You know, I'm really grateful to her for that," he said.
