I Wanted To Be A Therapist If The Acting Didn't Work. I Also Did A Lot Waitressing And Odd Jobs. I'd Audition But Couldn't Get Hired To Save My Life. I'd Do Off-broadway Theatre And That Was Great And I Was Excited And Thrilled, Feeling Like, 'well, It's Off-broadway, But There's Still The Broadway In There.'

More From Jennifer Aniston

Most Of Us Fall In Love With Someone's Persona And Spend The Next Three To Five Years Discovering Who That Person Really Is. If You Can Stay Connected Through That Process Of Raw Vulnerability, I Think You Have A Shot At The Prize Of Knowing And Accepting Another Human Being For Who And What They Really Are After Years Of Highs And Lows.

Falling In Love

I'm Excited About What The Future Holds. I'm Not A Fortune-teller; I Have No Idea How It Will Play Out. People Say, "what Are You Going To Do?" I Don't Know. I Kind Of Love That Not Knowing.

I'd Say A Little Over A Year Ago I Started Doing Tm [transcendental Meditation] And That's Really Changed Everything.

I'm A Bit Of A Clothes Hoarder, Admittedly. I Try To Weed Out Stuff. My Girlfriends Come Over For Cheese And Wine And Go Shopping In My Wardrobe. They Especially Love It When They Get Stuff With A Tag Still On.

I Think It's Always Important To Reflect Anyway, No Matter What Age You're Approaching Or What Milestone Is In Front Of You. Reflection Should Be Almost A Daily Thing If Possible.

Really Try To Follow What It Is That You Want To Do And What Your Heart Is Telling You To Do.

Follow Your Heart

Being "america's Sweetheart", That Label Gets Put On A Lot Of People. I Don't Pay That Much Attention. And I'm Not Trying To Shake Anything. I'm Just Following My Instincts And Doing Work That Is Coming To Me And I'm Just Grateful For It.

I Can't Write. I Would Love To. I Don't Really Have An Interest In It, To Be Honest. I'll Leave That To My Fiance.

I Used To Love Hospitals. That's Another Weird Thing About Me. I Remember When My Grandmother -- So Sweet, God Rest Her Soul -- Was In The Hospital, I Always Loved Visiting Her There.

If Yoga Didn't Exist, I'd Invent It.

Obviously, When I Learn About Something New That I Can Do In My Everyday Life That Makes A Whole Lot Of Sense And Can Help The Environment, I Do It. Eventually, It Just Becomes Second Nature. If We All Begin To Learn From One Another And Share Some Of The Things We Do, We Just Might Be Able To Affect The World For The Better Through These Little Rituals. In A Curious Way, This Would Be A Great Wave Of Awareness: Doing The Right Thing Without Being Told To Or Having To Think Why.

I...understand That Age Is Kind Of Awesome. I Am Fortunate Enough To Know Women Like Gloria Steinem - Who I Think Is One Of The Most Stunning Women On The Planet - [who] Doesn't Touch Her Face. Diane Keaton, Annette Bening - All Of These Fabulous, Fearless Women Who Are Flawless - They Embrace It!

For The Last Year And A Half, I Went From Being A Crazy Workout Girl To Sort Of Saying, "my Body Wants A Little Bit A Of Break." So I Kind Of Stay With More Simple Stuff And Taking Walks And Not Being Neurotic About Working Out And Eating Right. I Started To Enjoy Life A Little Bit More. The Only Downside To That Is There's That Couple Extra Pounds And About 4,000 Pregnancy Rumors, But You Know, Other Than That, It Feels Great.

Don't Rely On Men But Don't Shun Them Either.

Life Is Funny. Life Isn’t Categorized Into Comedy, Drama, Action, Is It?so I Don’t Know Why They Try To Categorize Everything. It Drives Me Crazy-why It Would Have To Be Just A Romantic Comedy Or…i Want To Have A Little Integrity, A Little Story, You Know

The Fun Stuff Comes When Someone Is Not So Strict On Sticking To The Script. You're Allowed The Spontaneity, And Great Moments Can Happen.

The Truth Is, Most Celebrities Are Doing The Same Things Most Other People Are Doing Every Day... Work, Have Dinner, Hang Out With Your Friends When You Can, Try And Keep Up With The Crazy World We're Living In And Squeeze In Some Zzz's. There's Not Nearly As Much Stealing And Obsessing And Middle-of-the-night Secret Calls To Ex-boyfriends And Scheming And Cheating [as They Lead You To Believe]. Most Of It's Just Bulls - T, However Entertaining.

You Know, I've Got Wrinkles On My Forehead And Smile Lines, But What's Wrong With That? I Love To Smile.

That's What I Hate About A Lot Of Comedies, When You're Hitting A Line Or Making It Funny.

When Your Parents Split Up, It's Impossible To Delude Yourself About Fairytale Romance And Happy Endings.

I Think There's Something So Wonderful About Being Part Of The Process From The Seed Of The Idea To Seeing It Come To Life On A Screen. And To Have A Hand In That Creatively, Not Just Showing Up As An Actor For Hire.

I Couldn't Be In A Relationship Without Equality, Generosity, Integrity, Spirit, Kindness And Humor. And Awesomeness.

It's A Real Gift When You Find Someone To Share Your Life With.

I'd Love To Say I'm An Accomplished Cook, But I Don't Have Any Signature Dishes. I'm Good At Breakfast -- I Make Great Eggs. My Father Gave Me A Little Recipe. It's All In The Seasoning. But It's A Greek Secret. I Won't Give It Away!

When We're Younger We Take Our Bodies For Granted Because They're Top-notch. You Don't Always Think In The Long Run.

I Love Yoga In General. It's So Important For Me To Incorporate It Into My Routine, It's Important For My Sanity!

The Idea Is To Be Healthy, Not To Wear Yourself Down Or To Try And Be A Twig Or Change Yourself Drastically.

Art Is So Subjective, And People Can React However They Want.

Stages Of Grief

I'm Thrilled With How My Career Is Evolving.

You Just Have To Work Really Hard To Tune Out The Noise And The Static. Because It Gets Louder, And People Really Have An Opinion, And You Don't Want To Shy Away From Taking Chances For Fear Of What People Will Say, Or Living In The Wreckage Of The Future [of] What May Be If I Do This.

As A Teenager, I Was An Enormous Fan Of Valerie Bertinelli's Hair.

When I Started Making Enough Money To Afford High-end, Fancy Skincare Products With Sexy Bottles And Impressive Claims, I Decided To Give Them A Try. As A Result My Skin Acted Up And Got Irritated. I Think Sometimes Women May Be Overcleansing Their Skin. Some Products And Masks Can Be Too Aggressive And Irritating For Certain Skin Types. I Believe The More Simple, Natural, And Easy The Skin Care Regime, The Better Off Your Skin Will Be.

The Truth Is, Most Celebrities Are Doing The Same Things Most Other People Are Doing Every Day... Work, Have Dinner, Hang Out With Your Friends When You Can, Try And Keep Up With The Crazy World We're Living In And Squeeze In Some Zzz's.

As My Doctor Said, Eventually Your Eyes Do Start To Give Out On You If You're Not Taking Care Of Them.

I Don't Know Why Women Feel An Affinity With Me.

When I Got The Script To This Movie, The Good Girl, I Read It In An Hour. The Writer, Mike White, Has An Ability To Create Characters That Are So Creepy And Dysfunctional And Human, With This Duality That Makes People Feel Empathy For Them At The Same Time.

I Don't Have This Sort Of Checklist Of Things That Have To Be Done, Andif They're Not Checked, Then I've Failed Some Part Of My Feminism Or My Being A Woman Or My Worth And My Value As A Woman Because I Haven't Birthed A Child. I've Birthed A Lot Of Things, And I Feel Like I've Mothered Many Things. And I Don't Feel Like It's Fair To Put That Pressure On People.

My Parents' Divorce Left Me With A Lot Of Sadness And Pain And Acting, And Especially Humour, Was My Way Of Dealing With All That.

I'm Not Sitting Somewhere Dwelling On The Past. I'm Not Fretting Or Obsessing About Something In The Future.

Women Should Stop Going For The Bad Guys, Stop Looking So Far When The Good Ones Are Right There.

I Don't Have This Sort Of Checklist Of Things That Have To Be Done, Andif They're Not Checked, Then I've Failed Some Part Of My Feminism Or My Being A Woman Or My Worth And My Value As A Woman Because I Haven't Birthed A Child.

Friends Are The Family We Choose.

I Don't Know. I Don't Like Girls Whining And Complaining About Wanting A Man! I Never Liked "sex And The City", The Kind Of Thing Where Women Only Feel Empowered Once They Find The Man. It Is Just Not Up My Alley. I Don't Believe In It. There Is Nothing You Can Control About Love.

Good Relationship

What Inspires You, What Excites You When You Wake Up In The Morning?

I Couldn't Have Found A Better Man Than Brad. He Still Opens Doors For Me And Brings Me Flowers. He's The Sweetest Goofball On The Planet.

It's A Lot Of Accumulated Joy And Tension And All Kinds Of Emotions Just Pouring Out Of All Us. We've All Been Preparing For This Day And We All Knew That One Day We Would Just Have To Move On With Our Lives And Careers Even Though We All Love This Show And Love Working Together. But It's Still An Incredibly Emotional Time, Especially For Me With A Lot Of Journalists Asking Me How It Feels About Friends Coming To An End. It's Started To Make Me Think Very Deeply About What It's All Meant To Me And That's Made Me Ever More Emotional!

There's Times When You See People Climbing And Getting Success And You Start To See, Oh, They're Starting To Really Change. So I Always Just Make The Effort To Be As Humble And Grateful As Possible.

They Always Say 'youth Is Wasted On The Young' - There's Something To That.

I Wanted To Be A Therapist If The Acting Didn't Work. I Also Did A Lot Waitressing And Odd Jobs. I'd Audition But Couldn't Get Hired To Save My Life.

To Talk About A Relationship Trivializes Something That's Nobody's Business.

When I First Got An Agent, They Gave Me Some Advice--lose Weight.

The Best Smell In The World Is That Man That You Love.

The Thing About Chemistry, It's Sort Of You Get Along With A Person And Then Sort Of If The Movie Does Well, Then You Have Great Chemistry.

If Yoga Didn't Exist, I'd Invent It.

I Don't Like [the Pressure] That People Put On Me, On Women, That You've Failed Yourself As A Female Because You Haven't Procreated. This Continually Is Said About Me: That I Was So Career-driven And Focused On Myself; That I Don't Want To Be A Mother, And How Selfish That Is.

When I Was 22, I Was Having A Ball!

Oh Gosh, I Noticed Dramatic Changes In My Body After I Started Doing Yoga, But I Also Think You Have To Shake Things Up.

As Women, We Do Feel Like We Have To Live Up To An Expectation, Whether It's On Camera Or Going To The Market Or Whatever It Is. And The Truth Of The Matter Is, That's Not Always The Way It Is. We Don't Always Have Our High Heels On, We Don't Always Have Our Makeup On.

I'm A Bit Of A Clothes Hoarder, Admittedly. I Try To Weed Out Stuff. My Girlfriends Come Over For Cheese And Wine And Go Shopping In My Wardrobe. They Especially Love It When They Get Stuff With A Tag Still On.

It's All About Being Comfortable, Being Easy And Having You Be Able To Wear Something And Not Having It Wear You. It's Classic. Every Time I've Tried To Be Bold And Crazy, I Feel Like A Japanese Animated Cartoon Character.

When I Come Residence From An Evening Out With My Honey And My Make-up's Just A Little Smudged. I Have Many Moments When I Really Feel Lovely. It's All About Having That Inside Confidence.

Oh, It's Not Really Gambling When You Never Lose.

Everybody Who Has Ever Been Snubbed, You Know That Is Very Humiliating.

I Absolutely Get More Comfortable In My Body And My Skin As I Get Older, More Than When I Was In My 20s.

What I Look For Is A Man Who Can Be A Friend, Someone Who Is An Equal And One With Whom I Feel Comfortable. I Want To Be Happy And Loved, And Not Settling For Something Second Best And Less Than I Deserve. But A Relationship Of And By Itself Is Not What Is Going To Make This Gal Survive - A Relationship Is The Cherry On The Top Of The Cake

When You're Doing A Movie, You're In A Vacuum, Just Going, "well, That's Done. Let's See What Happens."

I'll Never Forget My High School Acting Teacher, Anthony Abeson, Who Said, "it Starts With The Shoes." When I Think About A Character, It Does Start With The Shoes: What Kind Would She Wear? How Would She Walk In Them? If I'm Going To Put On A Dress For A Role - I Don't Care If It's The Hardest Dress To Put On - I Have To Put The Shoes On First. The Physicality Leads Me To The Character.

As Women, We Do Feel Like We Have To Live Up To An Expectation, Whether It's On Camera Or Going To The Market Or Whatever It Is. And The Truth Of The Matter Is, That's Not Always The Way It Is. We Don't Always Have Our High Heels On, We Don't Always Have Our Makeup On.

The Tabloids, Instead Of Being About Alien Babies And Stuff, It's My Triplets, Quadruplets, Marriages, Feuds.

Relationships Are Two People; Everyone Is Accountable. A Lot Goes Into A Relationship Coming Together, And A Lot Goes Into A Relationship Falling Apart. Even If It's 98 Percent The Other Person's Fault, It's 2 Percent Yours.... You Can Only Clean Up Your Side Of The Street.

I'm Sprouting More Than One Wonderful Grey Hair.

The Thing I Am Attracted To Is Just Good Writing And Stories That Are Based Somewhat In Reality.

Life Is Funny. Life Isn’t Categorized Into Comedy, Drama, Action, Is It?so I Don’t Know Why They Try To Categorize Everything. It Drives Me Crazy-why It Would Have To Be Just A Romantic Comedy Or…i Want To Have A Little Integrity, A Little Story, You Know

You Train Your Man To Do Nothing.

It Gets So Boring You Know Just To Do The Same Thing Over And Over Again.

I Actually Will Always Stop And Watch [friends Episodes], Not For The Whole Thing, But Usually Because I've Forgotten A Lot Of The Episodes. It's Sort Of Fun For A Second, I'm Like, What's This One?

When You Accept A Role In A Pilot, You Automatically Sign Up For Five Years. You Think It's Scary To Walk Down The Aisle? Try Signing A Five-year Contract For A Show You May Not Want To Be Part Of Down The Road.

Parenting Is One Of The Hardest Jobs On Earth.

Something About Family And Trying To Relate It To The Movie With, 'oh, If I Was To Have A Child How Many Kids Do I Want?' And 'do I Want A Boy Or A Girl?' I Didn't Realize You Could Place Orders, I Honestly Didn't Realize It Was Like A Drive-through, That You Could Talk To A Little Electronic Voice.

My Dad Became A Soap Opera Actor, And I Was An Extra In A Skating Rink Scene On The Soap. I Didn't Audition. It Was Nepotism All The Way.

I Actually Feel I've Been Unbelievably Lucky In Love.

Ok, In All Seriousness, I Would Say I Couldn't Be In A Relationship Without Equality, Generosity, Integrity, Spirit, Kindness And Humor. And Awesomeness.

I Think When I Was Younger, It Was Like - Who Cares? You Don't Realize The Longterm Effects. It Takes Its Toll, Which Is I Think Why I'm Better About It And Take Care Of My Body Now More Than Ever.

My Dog Didn't Like Me Very Much. My First Dog, Dmitri, Was A Poodle. I Used To Think Dmitri Was Something I Could Play With And Ride. I Tried To Ride A Poodle. And Then He Bit Me.

My World. My Rules. I Would Command Everyone To Do So Many Things! Be Kind. Oh, I Would Command Everyone To Stop Buying Tabloids!

Oh, It's Not Really Gambling When You Never Lose.

I Was Told To Avoid The Business All Together Because Of The Rejection. People Would Say To Me, 'don't You Want To Have A Normal Job And A Normal Family?' I Guess That Would Be Good Advice For Some People, But I Wanted To Act.

There's Times When You See People Climbing And Getting Success And You Start To See, Oh, They're Starting To Really Change. So I Always Just Make The Effort To Be As Humble And Grateful As Possible.

I Love To Read About What My Love Life Is Really Like.

Most Of Us Fall In Love With Someone's Persona And Spend The Next Three To Five Years Discovering Who That Person Really Is.

I Entertain For A Living, And I Entertain.

I Realised It Was Only Me Who Was Stopping Myself From Living My Life.

Friends Are The Family We Choose.

I Remember Dreaming About It, About Being On Tv. I Remember Seeing Children Of A Lesser God On Broadway. I Was Sitting In The Second Or Third Row, And I Was Just So Blown Away, And I Walked Out Saying, ‘that’s What I Want To Do.’

People Who Avoid The Brick Walls - All Power To Ya, But We All Have To Hit Them Sometimes In Order To Push Through To The Next Level, To Evolve.

With Independents[films] You Sort Of Make Them On The Go And There Is That Little Bit More Creative Freedom. You Don't Have The Money To Slow Down!

And With All The Love In The World, My Mom Looked At Me And Said, 'oh, Honey, You're So Funny.' So, She Doesn't Lie To Me...she Answers The Question By Not Answering And Instead Tells Me What She Thinks Is My Greatest Strength.

I Will Always Speak My Mind.
