Jennifer Aniston reveals her pain over speculation she's too 'selfish and career-driven' to have children

Actress Jennifer Aniston has spoken of the pressure to have children while trying to pursue a successful career.
The former Friends star said she is hurt by repeated accusations that she has sacrificed the chance of motherhood for fame and fortune in Hollywood.
Aniston, 45, said it was wrong for people to assume that women who haven't chosen motherhood are somehow perceived to have failed in life.

'I don't like [the pressure] that people put on me, on women, that you've failed yourself as a female because you haven't procreated,' she said.
'I don't think it's fair. You may not have a child come out of your vagina, but that doesn't mean that you aren't mothering -- dogs, friends, friends, children.'
Aniston says her 43-year-old fiancé is right by her every step of the way. In the interview, she spoke glowingly of Theroux.
'We're equals,' she said. 'He's a nurturer. He is so fiercely loyal. Beyond protective. I mean, the way he takes care of our dogs, he takes care of me, he takes care of friends.'
She refused to be drawn on any planned wedding, adding: 'We do talk about it all the time.'
