“I haven't done anything, but who knows. When you've had children, your body changes; there's history to it. I like the evolution of that history; I'm fortunate to be with somebody who likes the evolution of that history. I think it's important to not eradicate it. I look at someone's face and I see the work before I see the person. I personally don't think people look better when they do it; they just look different. You're certainly not staving off the inevitable. And if you're doing it out of fear, that fear's still going to be seen through your eyes. The windows to your soul, they say.” — in the February 2009 issue of Vanity Fair

"You can look great for your age, but you're still gonna age. I dated a guy recently who said I looked really good for my age. I was like, Why not just, ‘You look really good’? I never went out with him again." — in the April 2013 issue of Allure

"I don’t have to try to feel young. It’s only when you start thinking about the number that you don’t feel that way, so I don’t dwell on the number. I just embrace where I am today. I think I look pretty good for 43. But I don’t look the way I did when I was 23. So if Star magazine or whatever wants to print a picture of me on the beach from the back, at the worst possible angle, and say that I have cellulite, I’m like, Guess what? I do, and I never said I didn’t. I’ve had two kids, and I’m 43, so leave me alone." — in the April 2009 issue of Allure

"I don't believe in age like 40s and 70s. I believe in change.” — in the August 2006 issue of Vogue

"I look back at pictures and think, 'What a beautiful body I had at 25!' Yet I remember being so hard on myself and sad. Once you have a child, once you pass 40, you have a different relationship with your body. I love my body in a way I never have before.” — in the May 2012 issue of Allure

“Beauty is truth in the way you age. There is no question no one wants to look old. And yet it's a battle I choose not to fight because you can't win. When I look at women who have not messed with fillers or Botox, I love looking at their face[s]. I love the grace and the story that women are telling by aging naturally. I would rather live my life accepting what comes.” — in [July 2017](https://www.allure.com/topic/july-2017) issue of Allure

"Everybody is so anti-aging, but I don't want to look younger than I am. Our face is a map of our life; the more that's there, the better." — from ELLE

“I don't agree with our tendency to glorify youth. I never really understand it when I see someone freak about turning 30. There is something helpless about being a child. I always looked older than my age, and I loved that, because I always wanted to be in charge of myself.” — in the April 2009 issue of Allure

"I take comfort that aging happens to everybody. It's part of life. Yes, it bothers me when I have lines or puffiness or droops. But it connects me with the human race. Just like the weather is the great equalizer, so is aging." — from Good Housekeeping

“Eventually, the inner you shapes the outer you, especially when you reach a certain age. Life is to be embraced and enveloped. Surgeons and knives have nothing to do with it. It has to do with a connection with nature, God, your inner being — whatever you want to call it — it's being in contact with yourself and allowing yourself, allowing God, to mold you.” — from Rolling Stone

"I'm very good with getting older. Like, great, now I'm 40. Great, now I'm 50. Aging always made me feel more substantial, as if I had more to offer.” — in the August 2006 issue of Allure

"When you see everybody around you doing it, you have those moments when you think, to stay alive in this business, do I need to do the same thing? I won't lie and tell you that those things don't cross my mind, because somebody is always suggesting it to me. 'You know, if you just did a little bit of this and that, lift this up, then this would be a little bit better.' It's almost like crack that people are trying to push on you. That's what I feel like. I just have kept reminding myself that beauty really is as beauty does, and it is not so much about my physical self. Aging is natural, and that's going to happen to all of us.... I just want to always look like myself, even if that's an older version of myself. I think when you do too much of that cosmetic stuff, you become somebody else in a way." — from Yahoo Beauty

"Everyone has a view of what's pretty and what's not pretty, and [surgery] just doesn't look pretty to me. Especially when I see it on really young girls. I don't want to name names, but it's like, Wow, I remember you five years ago, looking to me so beautiful, and now it's like…who is this person? And I know girls half my age who do it. What are they gonna do at 40 or 50, when the s-h-i-t really hits the fan?” — in the May 2012 issue of Allure

“At 51, I gained five pounds on holiday and decided not to lose it. You know how they say that either your face or your ass goes? I'm letting the ass go. I can put on a great suit to cover my body, but what am I going to do with my face — wear a veil?” — in the September 2010 issue of Allure

“Being appropriate for your age doesn't mean you have to roll up into a ball and look like an old fuddy-duddy. I think aging gracefully is the way to go.” — in the July 2017 issue of Allure

"I find that a lot of this idea that you can look like you did when you were 30 or 40 is a false notion. You look different, but you'll never again look like you did then.” — in the April 2014 issue of Allure

"Well, 'anti-aging,' I just don’t think it’s the wrong word. I think it’s more about keeping your skin healthy. And 'anti' anything is … you know, we should be 'anti-bulling,' 'anti-racism,' 'anti-all of that stuff,' but I think anti-aging, we all are aging — it’s natural, it’s what happens. But I think it’s about aging beautifully and just being very taking good care of our skin. It’s important. Because we can all preserve the youthful glow of our skin with hydration, proper skin-care treatments, with natural products. Nothing like crazy lotions and potions filled with lots of chemicals. ['Anti-aging'] has such a negative spin on it. But, boy, does it suck people in! — in a [recent Allure interview](https://www.allure.com/story/jennifer-aniston-aging-social-media)

"The thing that really matters to me is well-being and happiness,” she says. “Maybe it comes from knowing people who have tortured themselves trying to meet these strangely narrow and rigorous definitions of what our culture thinks is beautiful.” — in the February 2014 issue of Allure

“What is it about a woman being in her late 30s that brings out the ‘Oh, my gosh, are you worried?’ questions? Worried? What about? My father died when he was 31. I think the alternative is so much worse. Thirty-eight, 39, 40, 50! Great! Still alive!” — in the August 2012 issue of Allure

“I am appalled that the term we use to talk about aging is 'anti.' Aging is as natural as a baby's softness and scent. Aging is human evolution in its pure form. Death, taxes, and aging." — from The Huffington Post

“I don't have any desire to reverse the process. I want to nurture it and allow it to happen, and use the right anti-wrinkle cream in the right places.” — in the April 2012 issue of Allure

“I hate to condemn people for [getting Botox], but I don't believe it makes people look better. I think it just makes them look like they had something done to their face, and I don't think we instinctively find that appealing. We think we do, but then when you look at somebody who's had their face altered in some way, it just looks weird. We recognize emotionally that that's not what we look like, that there's something off. You don't want to take away what makes a face look human.” — in the November 2010 issue of Allure

“I don’t have anything I want to fix. I’m happy with how I look and growing older. It’s strange how birthdays are treated so funereally out here.” — in the August 2007 issue of Vogue

“I'm doing this with the philosophy that within you there is beauty, and you have to learn how to find it and enhance it in a natural way. One thing that is exciting about being a woman is that you can rediscover your beauty over and over and over.” — in the September 2011 issue of Allure

“Women in their 40s have gone through quite a few different things, and so the roles are going to reflect that. People say, ‘Oh, it's done by 40,’ and now everyone knows it's not. I actually feel like the roles are a lot more interesting.” — in November 2013 issue of Allure

"People who lie about their age are denying the truth and contributing to a sickness pervading our society — the sickness of wanting to be what you're not. Denial leads to delusion. I know for sure that only by owning who and what you are can you step into the fullness of life. Every year should teach you something valuable; whether you get the lesson is up to you. Every year brings you closer to expressing your whole and healed self." — from O magazine

“It's nice to carry on working with photographers and growing older, like Lauren Hutton. Everyone in fashion has a youthful spirit because it's fun — and you have to be fun. You might get grayer and wear glasses, but you don't really change inside.” — in the August 2013 issue of Allure

“I'm not freaked out about getting older. I'm growing older with the most amazing man I've ever met — with my soul mate. Life's great.” — in the March 2011 issue of Allure

“Aging is going to happen — and that's only if you're lucky enough to live that long. I hate when they say, ‘You look great for your age.’ It's such an insult. I want ‘You look good,’ period. I'm defiant. I want to say, ‘This is what aging looks like! This is what happens!’ I read the blogs; I know they called us [the stars of Sex and the City 2] hags and said, ‘What are you doing trying to be sexy at this age?’ But the more women who think like that, the more it hurts us all.” — in the September 2010 issue of Allure
