She spoke to the attendees of the children's festival about her career in Hollywood. The star encouraged the aspiring writers and filmmakers in the audience to step away from the obsession with social media and create projects grounded in the real world, reported a website.

The actress also spoke about facing self doubt. "There are not enough fingers and toes in this entire room to count how many times that moment has happened to me," she said.

Aniston added, "We're all human beings at the end of the day, whether we're a waitress or a baker or a student or whatever we are, at the end of the day you kind of hit walls and think I kind of can't go any farther. Or, this is too much. My heart can't take it or the pain is too great, or am I good enough? Will I survive? And, you just have to sort of somehow miraculously overcome. You just go, 'I can't, yes I can, yes you can.'"

She further said, "There's nothing that separates us [actors/idols/icons] from you, because we all started at the same place. We all came out of nowhere. Don't punish yourself if you feel that. Go talk to people and seek help and always find something to inspire you."
