Jennifer Aniston on Why She Divorced Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux: "We Chose to Be Happy"
![On her childhood dreams: "My priorities weren't about finding partnership and who am I gonna marry and what am I gonna wear on my wedding day. I was building houses with shoe boxes and toilet paper and felt. It was always about finding a home that felt safe. And I'm sure, because I was from a divorced-parent home, that was another reason I wasn't like, 'Well, that looks like a great institution.'"
On the idea of a happy ending: "[It's] a very romantic idea. It's a very storybook idea. I understand it, and I think for some people it does work. And it's powerful and it's incredible and it's admirable. Even enviable. But everybody's path is different."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/01VmILlRmQEKcpe6I4BBInO4a3s/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:strip_icc-!!-/2018/12/07/738/n/1922398/28a6381c02970841_JA1/i/her-childhood-dreams-My-priorities-werent-about-finding.jpg "On her childhood dreams: \"My priorities weren't about finding partnership and who am I gonna marry and what am I gonna wear on my wedding day.
