Jennifer Aniston opened up about sexism in Hollywood when she sat down for an interview for the January 2015 issue of Allure (out on Dec. 23). The actress touched on how Hollywood treats men and women differently in the acting world and why she is truly fed up with questions about the possibility of her having children. (And it's not why you think.) Keep reading for a sneak peek at Jennifer's interview for Allure, and be sure to check out her style evolution over the years!
- On her transformation in Cake: "A woman going physically unattractive is where you get recognition and some sort of respect. You read things like, 'Oh, finally, she's acting!' [It's] Quite sexist, to be honest, because men don't get that."
- About the complications around feminism: "[It's] Because people overcomplicate it. It's simply believing in equality between men and women. Pretty basic."
- On motherhood: "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. I don't think it's fair. You may not have a child come out of your vagina, but that doesn't mean you aren't mothering — dogs, friends, friends' children. 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. Even saying it gets me a little tight in my throat."
- On her naturally curly hair: "The amount of crap that I'd have to load up, layering different products and going down to the ocean and getting some water bottles filled with beach water [to spray on it]. That would work. But how often are you near a beach? It's nice to let it go raw and animal. You just have to have the right product."
- On Justin Theroux: "I'm so proud of him. We have so much fun together . . . It was nice to learn how to sort of relinquish control and let someone really care deeply for you. It's quite wonderful."
- On Gwyneth Paltrow: "I've known her a long time. That woman has got style to the moon and back. Chic, effortless, gorgeous. This sums us up. Look, I'm in a T-shirt, jeans, and 400-year-old shoes, and this one is just, like, to a T. She's always been sweet to me."
