Jennifer Aniston: I Clean My Toilet
10th April 2006

Jennifer Aniston says she doesn't live like her Friends with Money character Olivia.
Jennifer Aniston dismissed rumors she resembles her character Olivia in "Friends with Money."

"I clean my toilet... I make the bed every day, and I clean my kitchen," said Jennifer Aniston in Star, on what she has in common with her "Friends with Money" maid character.

"I do have a housekeeper, but I still do urinate. I know that may shock you. But I do," she added.

"Like any good actor, Jennifer just becomes this other person," says Nicole Holofcener, who wrote the role of the cash-starved and unhappily single Olivia, and then cast Aniston.

Joan Cusack, Catherine Keener and Frances McDormand are Olivia's pals or those "Friends with Money," all married and all rich, or at least comfortably well-off.

"Obviously, celebrity doesn't mean anything in terms of talent," Holofcener said in an interview to Philadelphia Inquirer.

"It's very hard not to judge each other, and it's hard not to be entertained by all of the silly rituals that money creates and the shame that it brings us. The shame, the entitlement and the power... .

"We're a very materialistic society, and I'm included in it. And yet I don't know whether it's a curse or an advantage to be able to see yourself and how you behave. It's sobering."

"Friends With Money," a drama about three married women, their husbands, and their lone single friend, was an opening film for 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
