“That show was20 years of therapy wrapped into 10 episodes,” she said at the time. “There were times when I would read a scene and feel like a whole manhole cover was taken off my back.”
Aniston said that playing a famous figure in the series was a “cathartic” experience. “Also interesting for me to look at how I always have tried to normalize being fine and ‘everything’s great, you know, this is all normal,’ and then there are moments when you have your private breakdown or your ‘Calgon, take me away’ moments,” she said. “To actually look at it from an actor brain observing it and acknowledging it, I had to look at it as opposed to pretending it doesn’t exist.”
