Quote

I always felt caged, closed in, like I was punching at things that weren't there. I always had too much energy for the room I was in.

To do something good, it has to scare you.

On second marriage: It took me by surprise, too, because overnight, we totally changed. I think one day we had just nothing in common. And it's scary but I think it can happen when you get involved and you don't know yourself yet.

Image
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.

There is so much more to understand.
Angelina Jolie
Image
Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see.

What is it that turns people into artists? It often comes from some kind of pain or angst, a need to understand or express something. It very rarely comes from confidence, being raised by parents who want to hear what you have to say and wants to encourage you.

With doing the movies I've done I don't think I would be half the person I am today.

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.

Each person can make their difference.

This script was just so much smarter than usual and I'm just fascinated by human behavior.
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.

I think every teenager is a hero. When we are young we feel so much pain. Go to school is like going to war, people let you down all the time. Sometimes it's very, very difficult to stay strong, but you have to.
Angelina Jolie
Image
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.

Image
I'm happy being myself, which I've never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn't have those things in mine.
Angelina Jolie
Image
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.

~Sometimes, when I want to take on the world, I try to remember that it's just as important to sit down and ask my son how he's feeling or talk to him about life.~

Different is good. When someone tells you that you are different, smile and hold your head up and be proud.
Angelina Jolie
Image
I didn't really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry... but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it's the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.

The great thing about having a bunch of kids is that they just remind you that you're the person who takes them to go poop. That's who you are!
