Jennifer Aniston has claimed that she never planned on being famous, insisting that she used to take whatever job she was offered.

The Marley And Me star also revealed that she never had any long-term career goals other than keeping employed.

"I've never sat there and plotted out how I was going to become successful or famous," she told Collider.

"I just really wanted to work and I wanted to do good work ever since I was at a High School of Performing Arts and my Russian acting coach told me I was a disgrace to the Moscow Theatre! I was determined to prove him wrong and do good work and I think I've never had my eye on a prize."

Aniston, who rose to stardom after being cast as Rachel Green in the hit show Friends, added: "Before Friends I had a graveyard of sitcoms that, thank God, you don't know about. I was happy to get a job every year whether or not it went on."
