Jennifer Aniston in The Hollywood Reporter January 2015
Is This Jennifer Aniston's Most Candid Interview Yet?
![On loving The Bachelor: "I'll say it out loud. Last year, [friends] were saying, 'It's The Bachelor, it's premiering tonight! The Bachelor is premiering tonight!' And I was like, 'Oh, guys! Seriously? The Bachelor? That's been on for 15 years or something.' And Justin and I, just for fun, watched — and two hours later, we were addicted. It was like junk food. We were sad when it ended."
On potential plans for an art studio: "I used to have an art studio and paint and work with clay, and I actually miss it. I was moving storage facilities, and I just found my wheel and my easels and all my books. I found all this stuff, so I may build a little art studio off [the house]."
On her Oscar "snub": "I know a lot of people were sorry. I feel I've gotten such wonderful love — I had almost more phone calls and flowers than I did for any other nomination [in the past]."
On knowing she could pull off her Cake role despite naysayers: "I've been told so many times, 'You're not that type' that part of me went, 'Am I not? Can I really [do this]?' So it was like, 'I'm going to prove it to myself.' There was a confidence in knowing that I'm capable of doing this after so many years of being able to 'show up.' This was the first time I had so many layers to explore. I took out a tool bag I hadn't used."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/ps-image-unavailable.png "On loving The Bachelor: \"I'll say it out loud.
