Adding: ‘It’s not that I feel I’m underestimated in that way – I’m not afraid to stand up for myself and say, “Just so you know, this isn’t going to fly with me.”‘ When that happens, I don’t want you to be shocked that I’m a real person.’ 

Jennifer also chatted about her 50th birthday party, which she said was something she did out of character.

‘I basically had a wedding for myself. I was so shocked that I was doing it,’ she said.

 Jennifer, who is a board member of Save The Children, explained that she had originally just invited her parents and her sisters but ended up inviting more people because it was Easter weekend.

She also asked guests at her party to help five thousand backpacks with food for the Blessings in a Backpack program. 

When asked if she felt like she was owed anything by Hollywood, she said: ‘I don’t know. Because I’m not ambitious in that way. Do I feel I’m owed some kind of accolades or something?’

‘Not really. I’ve kind of played it differently. How lucky am I that I’ve gotten to work all this time and raise a family? It’s more that the work truly comes from a place of love. I love being with a crew. I love being part of a crew. And I love when I get to be on set. It’s different from anywhere else. It’s just mine.’
