“I have a lot to do. I really, honestly, feel that I’m just kicking into a creative stride," said Aniston (via People magazine). "I’ve just discovered a new love of this, in a new way, that I didn’t know that I had before ,so I almost have new eyes that I’m seeing what it is that I do as an actor.”

Aniston, mainly known for her comedic work, said she felt "overwhelmed" by winning her award for her role in "The Morning Show", beating out Olivia Colman, who took home the Golden Globe for the same category.

After learning that Pitt watched her speech with enthusiasm, Aniston called him "so sweet."
“There are dark hours... or, not dark hours, but you don’t really have that much of a life. So it’s nice to come out, put a pretty dress on and sort of celebrate your friends and their work and inspire each other to keep going.”
