I thought I'd become a funeral director when I wasn't going to be an actor. I thought I would be good at helping some people with the grieving process and with trying to get them to talk about and understand who this person was.

More quotes by Angelina Jolie
I'd like there to be less refugees. I'd like all girls to go to school. That's what we need to be thinking about, and working on making our own families good and strong and our own kids happy.
Angelina Jolie
Refugees have done more for my heart and my spirit than I can ever express in words.
Angelina Jolie
I am deeply grateful to the citizens of Sarajevo and the Sarajevo Canton assembly for bestowing upon me this incredible honor of citizenship. I am so proud to now be a part of such an extraordinary part of the world and fellow citizen to the people I deeply love and admire.
Angelina Jolie
I've learned a lot from Clint [Eastwood], who's an extremely economical director.
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
The Coen brothers said something that helped me, When you put the book down, you have a certain feeling, a certain understanding. That's what they need to feel when they walk out of the theater. That's your job, to literally put this book on film, you won't make a good movie, you'll do no service to anyone.
Angelina Jolie
I think that we come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. Raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are.
Angelina Jolie
I don't do things that are comedic. This is such a crazy idea.
Angelina Jolie
I'm not somebody that thinks about destiny and fate, but I don't walk away from it when something unfolds.
Angelina Jolie
I'm looking very much forward to growing older. I want to be an exhausted older woman but with a very full life behind me and one still going.
Angelina Jolie
I have men in my life. I have a brother. So Maddox will have male teachers. I was raised without a father.
Angelina Jolie
I never felt settled or calm. You can't really commit to life when you feel that.
Angelina Jolie
Love - is when you wish all the best to the people you love, when you put their interests and well-being above their own. Always.
Angelina Jolie
I don't really send text messages. I rarely carry my phone. I occasionally check messages at the end of the night, but I don't carry it around.
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
Yeah, but before anything, I think in 6 years somehow I've grown up to have a beautiful home, 2 beautiful stepchildren, a beautiful husband, my family is healthy and happy. I'm financially ok and I do what I love for a living. That's what I think, and I think god, how did I get so lucky.
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.
Angelina Jolie
Love elevates. Love is what you live for.
Angelina Jolie
I wanted to educate myself about the world and I wanted to know what was happening to people in other countries. I feel now I have only just begun.
Angelina Jolie
First thing in the morning, we're really tired, and we look at each other and we wonder, 'Are we ever going to get sleep?' And yet, it doesn't matter if you don't get sleep. It's an honor to take care of them.
Angelina Jolie
