She's dealt with the downsides of fame for decades, and now Jennifer Aniston is opening up about the less-than-fun aspects of it in a new Associated Press interview.

Speaking about tabloids and paparazzi, she complains, "All that stuff, it's toxic. It never gets un-jarring, but you do have to not let it imprison you, which is possible too."

As for how she keeps herself grounded, the "Friends" star explains, "There’s times when you see people climbing and getting success and you start to see, oh, they’re starting to really change. So I always just make the effort to be as humble and grateful as possible."

Later, the 45-year-old actress shares, "You just have to work really hard to tune out the noise and the static. Because it gets louder, and people really have an opinion, and you don’t want to shy away from taking chances for fear of what people will say, or living in the wreckage of the future [of] what may be if I do this."

If you're wondering, Jennifer is quite aware of the speculation surrounding her and fiancée Justin Theroux's relationship, as she notes, "It’s weird. I think because we are so normal. We’re very non-fabulous in any way. They try to create all sorts of narratives to go with a very normal, wonderful life that’s just two people loving each other and living life and working and doing the best they can.”
