To be in any way a positive contribution, that's all anybody wants to be. It's all I've ever wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist, be a mother. You want to feel that in your life you've been of use, in whatever way that comes out.

More quotes by Angelina Jolie
I would start drinking something terrible if I were in a situation where I was surrounded by lies or quiet or secrets. It's just not a real life.
Angelina Jolie
I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It's like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are also very feminine.
Angelina Jolie
Nothing would mean anything if I didn't live a life of use to others.
Angelina Jolie
Violence against women and lack of intervention and man's inhumanity to man and this kind of atrocities are going on. These are big issues of our times, we must speak about them, we must learn how to better understand how these things happen so we can address them.
Angelina Jolie
I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.
Angelina Jolie
I prefer directing to acting. There is huge freedom that comes from being behind the camera. It brings a lot of responsibilities as well, but is intensely rewarding. Particularly the chance to help draw out the best in young actors.

I do have tatoos, and I do wear leather, but there are other sides of me, that my film express.
Angelina Jolie
The beautiful thing about such moments in life is that there is so much clarity. You know what you live for and what matters.
Angelina Jolie
Sometimes I think my husband is so amazing that I don't know why he's with me. I don't know whether I'm good enough. But if I make him happy, then I'm everything I want to be.
Angelina Jolie
The cost of testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2, at more than $3,000 in the United States, remains an obstacle for many women.
Angelina Jolie
War is so complex human nature is so complex. There's no filmmaker who has ever figured it out perfectly.
Angelina Jolie
... the one that has the worst effect for me was pot. I felt silly and giggly - I hate feeling like that.
Angelina Jolie
There is no greater pillar of stability than a strong, free and educated woman, and there is no more inspiring role model than a man who respects and cherishes women and champions their leadership.
Angelina Jolie
Women and girls are bearing the brunt of extremists that revel in treating them barbarically. This is inextricably linked to our overall failure to prevent and end conflicts worldwide, which is causing human suffering on an unprecedented level.
Angelina Jolie
I actually feel that women in my position, when we have all at our disposal to help us, shouldn't complain when we consider all of the people who are really struggling, who don't have the financial means, who don't have the support, and so many people are single raising children - that's hard.
Angelina Jolie
I'm somebody who works within Cambodia, with Cambodians. I work alongside the artists and society to work from within, so that is the focus, and from that I hope everybody who believes in democracy, in certain freedoms, will get louder, will grow their voices.
Angelina Jolie
I love doing action. And I love doing dramatic films, and I'd never really been able to combine them.
Angelina Jolie
You know, more children die under the age of five when the parents are not educated.
Angelina Jolie
I don't really have girlfriends in movies, if you've noticed. Well, I have a few girlfriends, I just... I stay at home a lot. I'm just not very social. I don't do a lot with them, and I'm very homebound. I'll talk to my family, I talk to Brad... But I don't know, I don't have a lot of friends I talk to. He is really the only person I talk to.
Angelina Jolie
I think what children can handle and what they're interested in is much deeper than people assume. It's why sometimes we make things too simple for them.
Angelina Jolie
