NEW YORK (AP) _ Jennifer Aniston says she's doing well and ready to date. Aniston appeared on ``The Oprah Winfrey Show'' Monday. In one of her first TV interviews since filing for divorce from Brad Pitt earlier this year, Aniston said, ``I'm doing so well.''

``It's the media that won't move on,'' she said. ``You just want to say, `Come on, people! Turn a page!'''

When Winfrey asked Aniston if she was ready to ``start the whole dating thing again,'' the 36-year-old actress emphatically replied, ``yes'' _ checking her watch as if to say it was time.

Pitt has been romantically linked with Angelina Jolie, his co-star in the ``Mr. & Mrs. Smith'' film.

Aniston said she's now in a good place: ``I'm not sitting somewhere dwelling on the past. I'm not fretting or obsessing about something in the future.''

She was clearly more at ease than during a recent Vanity Fair magazine interview in which she was emotional, but resilient. She said then she was ``trying to pick up the pieces in the midst of this media circus.''

Aniston joked that ``if I had a dollar for every (self-help) book that was sent my way, I could have probably paid for this studio'' _ referring to the new set of Winfrey's show.
