Jennifer Aniston said her actor dad told her to get 'a real job' instead of working in Hollywood

"My dad was telling me, 'Please don't do this, you're just going to suffer rejection,' 'Just go get a job. Like, get a real job.' All the cliché things,"

"Whatever drives you, if you find passion in something and you love it, go do it."

"I mean, look at all the law firms. Blanky Blank Blanky and Blanky Blank. I mean, all right, isn't that a version of it's all in the family? It's all in the family,"

"So, maybe you got into into a door because you're so-and-so's kid, but if you suck, guess what? You're not going to continue to do it."
