I grew up with my career being thrust upon me. It took me a long time to believe that I could do more than that one aspect of our business.

More quotes by Angelina Jolie
I didn't even know my bra size until I made a movie.
Angelina Jolie
I became an actress because my mom wanted me to become an actress. It took me until my mid-30s to realize I actually didn’t. I actually wanted to write and direct and be more involved in politics and humanitarian issues.
Angelina Jolie
I have so much in my life. I want to be of value to the world.
Angelina Jolie
I grew up as this very carefree, happy kid then things turned darker for me. Maybe it was because I saw that the world wasn't as happy a place as I had hoped it would be for me.
Angelina Jolie
I loved being on the other side of the camera and interacting with the crew. When you are an actor, you have to stay inside this world, but when you are with the crew, on the outside, you are in the dirt, working through all the issues. It's just a different way of working, and I think I preferred it.
Angelina Jolie
I think actors, because we're in the world of the characters and the movie, are more isolated, and it always really fun to wake up and be a family with the entire crew.
Angelina Jolie
Like most people, you listen to yourself on the phone or an answering machine and you're like, 'Ugh.' So to do something with just your voice is hard.
Angelina Jolie
We're all just big kids. That's all we are. We are artistes. We grew up wanting to be part of the fantasy of the fairy tales and the stories.
Angelina Jolie
I went through what I imagine thousands of other women have felt. I told myself to stay calm, to be strong, and that I had no reason to think I wouldn't live to see my children grow up and to meet my grandchildren.
Angelina Jolie
Figure out who you are separate from your family, and the man or woman you're in a relationship with. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone. I think that's the most important thing in life. Find a sense of self because with that, you can do anything else.
Angelina Jolie
What's risky is living your life and never trying for anything and never doing something brave and never getting yourself scared.
Angelina Jolie
Each person can make their difference.
Angelina Jolie
I've started to really become aware of the world we live in, what's really going on.
Angelina Jolie
Now they can do all these magic things with computers. So you think you get to do something in a movie and you find out you don't get to really do it.
Angelina Jolie
It's probably not an accident that the films that I care about happen to be about issues that matter to me, stories that I want to tell. If you're going to spend two years of your life on something it has to matter to you, you have to be passionate about it.
Angelina Jolie
I think as a human being, as a mother, as someone who works internationally, I needed desperately to know a man like Louis Zamperini in my life, to know that there is hope.
Angelina Jolie
Every day we choose who we are by how we define ourselves.
Angelina Jolie
I’m trying to learn more about international law to understand why we don’t have better solutions for conflict - for dictators or aggressors that are hurting or raping children or using them as child soldiers. Why can’t we have an international community handle these things in a swift, efficient manner?
Angelina Jolie
I'm very careful with my emotions, and I don't let them run free. If I'm upset, it's usually for a very good, very deep reason.
Angelina Jolie
I have so many children. Half of mine are the ones that just must climb the tree, must climb the mountain, must get dirty, must jump off, flip into the pool sideways because it's just who they are. So you try to give them as much guidance and prepare them but they are who they are.
Angelina Jolie
