Jennifer Aniston as Barbra Streisand
Jennifer Aniston proves that she's just like the ultimate "funny girl" in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar.
"The Bounty Hunter" star dons some of Barbra Streisand's signature looks for the mag that hits stands on Aug. 17. 
Jen Channels Barbra for Harper's Bazaar
Subscribers to Harper's will have this cover on their September issue.
Jen tells the mag what she’s learned from Barbra Streisand:
You don’t have to stop at one thing. You can do it all if you want to.
This is the cover that will appear on newsstands on Aug. 17.
The comedic actress talks about being funny:
People laugh at me. Sometimes I know why, and sometimes I don’t. But I can pretty much find humor in anything. That is a necessary part of life. I don’t want to say laughter is healing, because it sounds corny, but it’s a release.
On looking up to Streisand:
Barbra inspires me because there isn’t anything she hasn’t done that she wanted to do, especially as a female in the time when her generation was prime. She’s a true renaissance woman. I had a long conversation with Barbra about directing because I directed a short a couple years ago, and if I don’t do it again soon, I’m going to burst out of my skin. And we also love interior design.
On being in the spotlight:
“[Barbra and I] are people who have been put in the spotlight, for better or for worse, and you just keep riding and you keep overcoming.”

Jen on the power of women:
“I grew up admiring strong women like journalist Barbara Walters and super-agent Sue Mengers, who represented Ali McGraw. But now look where we’ve got to as women. We’ve had a woman run for President. There is nothing like our power.”
On Botox:
“I could do it, and I mean these lines are getting deeper every day, but when I tell you what’s happened to me – these lines are just about living. Look, I eat really well and I work out, but I also indulge when I want to. I don’t starve myself in an extremist way. You’re not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I’d be devastated. My advice: just stop eating sh** every day.”
On the launch of her new fragrance, Lolavie:
“I’d been asked to put my name to many [fragrances], but I wanted to be involved in the process, from the initial idea of the scent to the ad campaign with Mario Sorrenti.”
On her fans being upset by her racy roles:
“With "Derailed" [a dark action thriller opposite Clive Owen], I loved being racy. Love it…But people couldn’t cope with me being involved in rape and murder.”
On her love of British comedy:
“I so love the British sense of humor – I was obsessed with Benny Hill and Monty Python as a child. Oh my god, and I am so hooked on Ricky Gervais.”
On her fellow Hollywood leading ladies:
“I love what Drew Barrymore is doing with directing. It’s so much about a rebirth for her, and I love it when people are living in the now, like her. I hate it when people look back and regret what they haven’t got. That’s how I feel about my own life now. And my God, let’s talk about how much I love Demi Moore as well. What kind of Kool-Aid is she drinking?”
