Aniston talks about 'The Break-Up'

She doesn't accept that relationships are about compromise.

"A good relationship is about collaboration. You just need to talk to each other. You have to say what you want. That way, it's not threatening."

What proved a bit threatening for Aniston was her nude scene in The Break-Up.

She is quick to put speculation to rest.

She did not have a body double for the scene.

"I should have thought about getting a butt double for the scene, except that the way it was shot it had to be me.

"They used all these tricky camera angles so you would know if I had used a double which I definitely did not."

Aniston says she "didn't panic about how I looked naked because luckily I had been hitting the gym before I read that I had a nude scene.

"I panicked because I had to be naked.

"I don't usually watch dailies of my performances, but I did watch the dailies of that nude scene. Trust me, I wanted to see that footage."

One of the things that appealed to Aniston about The Break-Up was "both characters are flawed. They both fall short. They fail to communicate in an evolved manner which could have solved their relationship problems."

She is adamant there "must be closure when any relationship fails, whether it is a romantic relationship, a friendship or employment."

She refuses to say whether she has achieved closure with her failed marriage to Pitt, but says "you should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended.

"You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase."

Still an avowed romantic, Aniston says she "is not a chocolate kind of girl, but I do love flowers.

"Anyone who wants to capture my heart can get me some good peonies or orchids. See, I like to hit both price points."

Aniston says celebrity has not made her immune to irksome pick-up artists.

"I guy came up to me once in a restaurant. He said: 'I like your salad.'

"I honestly did not know what he meant. He repeated his come-on line and I still didn't know what he meant so he explained.

"He finally said: 'Your salad ... you know, your makeup, your clothes and your hair! It's your salad.

"I hate that I still remember it with such clarity."
