Jen Aniston: 'I'm a control freak'


Jennifer Aniston continues her highly successful ‘what snub?’ tour today in The Hollywood Reporter, and in the new profile, she gets real about one thing. “I’m a control freak,” she admits.
“I like to be in charge of everything. My life was so out of control growing up, it’s very important today for it to be in control.” Even now, she says, “I have to bite my tongue sometimes if I’m on a movie, when I think I can figure out how to make this problem that they’re having go smoothly. I just bite my tongue, especially with a [bad] director. Some directors are just like — oh, God, oh God, oh God! I [have to] just suffer through this.”
On the invasive kids convo: “Listen,” she says, “that’s a topic that’s so exhausted. I get nervous around that, just because it’s very personal. Who knows if it’s going to happen? It’s been a want. We’re doing our best.”
On her on-off relationship with her mother, Nancy: “She was critical. She was very critical of me. Because she was a model, she was gorgeous, stunning. I wasn’t. I never was. I honestly still don’t think of myself in that sort of light, which is fine. She was also very unforgiving. She would hold grudges that I just found so petty.”
