Jennifer Aniston on Soulmate Justin Theroux: "I Feel Completely Seen and Adored"
There are plenty of things to love about Jennifer Aniston, but one of the biggest reasons we can't seem to stop adoring her is because she's one of the few celebrities who seems to actually say what they mean. In the December issue of Marie Claire, the Office Christmas Party actress sat down for an interview that covers a range of subjects, from why she's so madly in love with husband Justin Theroux to what motivated her to write her incredible op-ed for the Huffington Post earlier this year. Although Jennifer tells writer Kimberly Cutter that she's "not completely sure" what she's doing or where her career is headed next, we have a sneaking suspicion that she'll succeed at whatever she tries.

- On her choice to write her powerful Huffington Post essay: "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? I just thought: I have worked too hard in this life and this career to be whittled down to a sad, childless human."
- On why husband Justin Theroux is her soulmate: “Why is he the right person for me? All I know is that I feel completely seen, and adored, in no matter what state. 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."
- On what she wants to tackle next: "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 . . . The most challenging thing right now is trying to find what it is that makes my heart sing."
- On the careful way she chooses her roles: "You have to be so madly in love with it and think, I will be so upset if I don't go and play this person . . . Especially these days, with Justin in Melbourne. It has to be worth it."
