Jennifer Aniston Says She's Not 'A Sad, Childless Human'
The actress says she wants to speak out against tabloid culture after being "shamed" throughout her career. "My marital status has been shamed; my divorce status was shamed; my lack of a mate had been shamed; my nipples have been shamed. It's like, 'Why are we only looking at women through this particular lens of picking us apart? Why are we listening to it?,'" asks Aniston. "I just thought: I have worked too hard in this life and this career to be whittled down to a sad, childless human." Aniston married actor Justin Theroux in August 2015. "All I know is that I feel completely seen, and adored, in no matter what state," she says of her husband. "There's no part of me that I don't feel comfortable showing, exposing. And it brings forth the best part of myself, because I care about him so much. And he's such a good person. It hurts me to think of anything hurting him." Aniston says she been acting as much as she used to because she's not sure what kind of projects she wants to take on. "This is a time when I'm not completely sure what I'm doing. I'm at this sort of crossroads trying to figure out what inspires me deep in my core. What used to make me tick is not necessarily making me tick anymore," she admits. "The most challenging thing right now is trying to find what it is that makes my heart sing. Especially these days, with Justin in Melbourne. It has to be worth it." Theroux is in Australia filming the next season of his HBO drama 'The Leftovers'.
