Jennifer Aniston: 'I'm tired of L.A.'

CherryDarling · October 15th, 2007, 07:30 PM

After taking a two-year hiatus, Jennifer Aniston is back to work on her new film He’s Just Not That Into You. In the November issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the 38-year-old actress reflects on a possible move to New York, her inner Oprah, and who in Hollywood she’d like to have an affair with (hint: The name is Bond, James Bond). The mag, celebrating its 140th anniversary, doesn’t hit newsstands until October 23 but see interview higlights below for a sneak peek…

On how she would like this story to begin:
“I’m ba-ack.”

On her previous movie roles as a checkout chick in The Good Girl and a broke, pot-smoking maid in Friends with Money:
“I like those roles. I feel comfortable with them. They’re more real. People can say, ‘Oh, I have relatives like that, I dated a guy like that, or I have a friend like that.’ They’re relatable.”

On what the public says about her:
“I used to care a hell of a lot more about what people said or thought. But that had to change when my life was under a microscope being scrutinized and my personal life was being talked about. You have to go, ‘This is not acceptable in any way,’ whether it’s about me personally or in business, success versus failure. It’s so negative. It’s such bizarre negativity.”

On living a day as someone else:
“I would love to be Oprah – for just one day.”

If she worked in the government:
“I’d be a spy. A very glamorous spy who plays poker and lives in Monaco. And has affairs with Daniel Craig.”

On a possible move to New York:
“I can actually visualize it again, for some reason. I don’t know, I’m just tired of Los Angeles. In New York, you’re not just in that same car, looking at that same dashboard, driving down the same street.”

On walking 40 blocks in New York and nobody noticing her:
“If you can get away from the paparazzi and they don’t know where you are, you can actually walk, walk, walk.”

On critiques of her box-office performance:
“I’ve read things that said I wasn’t successful at the box office or that my big hit was The Break-Up. But I said, ‘Wait a minute. There was Along Came Polly, which did really well, and Bruce Almighty was a pretty big movie.’ But they’ll single out Derailed or Rumor Has It, movies that didn’t do well, in order to support their agenda.”

On Friends:
"I don't think anybody thought Friends would become what it did. It's all good, though. It's nothing but blessings. But seriously, who actually dances in a fountain?"

I really like the things she has to say, and if she lived
in the real world and I knew her, she'd fit right in with
my friends and me!

Well I for one would be bored as hell in Malibu - nice as it is. Nice place to have a vacation home... but live there? Blech.

Well, personally there's only one place on this earth I ever want to live, but with ol' Chinny, I think she'll be whiny and miserable no matter where she goes.

I like Aniston. I don't know why--I just really like her.

Mira · October 15th, 2007, 08:35 PM

Me too. I don't get where people think she's whining all the time. She's someone who talks about feelings. *shrug*

I have always loved her. Loved Friends though. I think she might enjoy NYC and the anonymity the bustle of the city can give. I have heard celebs say they prefer it to LA because there is so much going on, they feel they get left alone more.

Yeah, she does seem to like to talk about feelings a lot. Especially the unhappy ones.....

L.A. can definitely be a lonely place. Of course, one can be lonely anywhere. But the change would do her good.
