'I'm Right Where I'm Supposed to Be'

Jen discusses more than just Angelina

Share

(Newser) –  A far cry from the needy, clingy portrait the tabloids have painted, Jennifer Aniston appears at peace with her romantic past ("I've been unbelievably lucky in love"), but irritated when asked about wanting kids, in a Vogue profile by Jonathan Van Meter. The actress waxed philosophic about her upcoming birthday—"I'm not saying I'm 40. I'm 30-10. I don't feel 40"—while giving a tour of her still-under-construction Beverly Hills mansion.

"I'm right where I'm supposed to be," said Aniston, who insisted her much-publicized divorce from Brad Pitt "never was that bad." (In the same interview, Aniston criticized some of Angelina Jolie's moves as "uncool," comments that set off a tab frenzy.) Her frosty relationship with her mother is thawing ("she's humbled with age"), but she bristled when asked about becoming a mom herself: "I've said it so many times: I'm going to have children."

You basically watch my life. It happens in front of you. But there is more to me than just a tabloid girl. This whole 'Poor lonely Jen' thing, this idea that I'm so unlucky in love? I actually feel I've been unbelievably lucky in love. - Jennifer Aniston

It's the most wistful movie. It is about the things we wanted in life and didn't get, and yet we still have the desire to celebrate what we do have. I think that really applies to Jen. - Director David Frankel

She's changed. She's humbled with age. She fell in love. At 73 years old. I'm like, No, no, no, no, no! I don't want to hear how great the sex is! - Jennifer Aniston, on her reconciliation with her mother

She always struck me as extremely smart, kind, and funny—and her talent is evident to all. - Ben Affleck, on Jen

When she realizes that he won't marry her, the pain she expresses—It's one of those moments where, whatever's going on with her as an actor, it's not a show. At that point you realize we're not in for fluff anymore. - Director Ken Kwapis

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. I don't believe in it. - Jennifer Aniston

Jen is a brilliant businesswoman. She's a working girl! She is in her office every morning, figuring out her day and making it happen. - Kristin Hahn, Aniston's best friend and business partner

She's special enough to be somewhat unattainable but real enough that you can imagine a friendship. There's something so pretty and sunny and winning about her. You bask in the reflection of her goldenness. - Stacey Snider, DreamWorks CEO

There is such a thing as being involved with someone you know is in a relationship. Don't blame Jen for Brangelina's actions. Reply
