Jennifer Aniston’s 2014 wish list

Friends star has big plans for the upcoming year and may just make her directorial debut.

LOS ANGELES: Hollywood actor Jennifer Aniston, who will turn 45 in February next year, says she had an awkward phase in her 30s, but is happier than ever with where she is in life now.

Aniston shared thoughts and details about her personal life along with her plans for 2014 in an interview with Parade magazine, reports E! Online.

“There’s nothing to worry about — although I don’t think I had a care in the world at 25, either. That all started in my 30s, my awkward phase,” she said.

Aniston tied the knot with Brad Pitt when she was 31 years old, and the two became Hollywood’s golden couple. Unfortunately, they parted ways in 2005 after five years of marriage, and their divorce came through the same year.

The star says she now feels like the most beautiful woman when she’s at home with her fiancé Justin Theroux.

“I’m a bit of a late bloomer! But it doesn’t matter to me because it just gets better. They do say youth is wasted on the young, but I feel just as youthful now, if not more, than I did when I was 25. I’m more in my body; I’m more in my mind. Life is full. Life is wonderful. We’re very, very fortunate.”

Aniston also explained that she has plenty of things she’s looking forward to in 2014, including a sequel to Horrible Bosses, “which is such a fun character” for her.

“And I think I’m going to try at some point next year to direct a full-length feature, which I’m extremely excited about. I’m just so happy and I’m grateful for my fans. I just hope I keep doing the work that they love.”
