Jennifer Aniston comapres herself to Barbara Streisand

One of the more interesting quotes from Jennifer Aniston’s Harper’s Bazaar interview is one where she compares herself to Barbara Streisand. She says that they’ve both been “put in the spotlight, for better or for worse, and you just keep riding, and you keep overcoming.”

The similarities don’t stop there though. Jennifer says, “Barbra inspires me because there isn’t anything she hasn’t done that she wanted to do, especially as a female in the time when her generation was prime. She’s a true renaissance woman. . . I had a long conversation with Barbra about directing because I directed a short a couple years ago, and if I don’t do it again soon, I’m going to burst out of my skin. And we also love interior design.”

Aniston also knows people laugh at her but sometimes she doesn’t know why. “People laugh at me. Sometimes I know why, and sometimes I don’t. But I can pretty much find humor in anything. That is a necessary part of life. I don’t want to say laughter is healing, because it sounds corny, but it’s a release.”

Shoot. I thought we kept the laughter on the down low and only did it behind her back. Jennifer wasn’t supposed to know about this. Now things are going to be awkward between us.
