Angelina Jolie

“Let's embrace being not normal!”

“Something I learned as an actor was which scenes needed to be rehearsed and which actors are good with rehearsal, which actors learn from it, and which ones grow stale because they start to second-guess themselves.”

“The moment you have a child, in an instant your life is not for you, and your life is completely, 100 percent dedicated to another human being, and they will always come first. It changes you forever. It changes your perspective, and it gives you a nice purpose and focus.”

“I don't like perfumes that are too strong or sweet. I like a fragrance that is earthy and sensual and can be worn at any time.”

“You have to just make the choices you make in life. I made the choices I made because I believed they were right for me.”

“There's the chaos surrounding the practical day-to-day - playdates, doctors' appointments, packing and unpacking, and organizing mealtimes.”

“I don't see myself as beautiful, because I can see a lot of flaws. People have really odd opinions. They tell me I'm skinny, as if that's supposed to make me happy.”

“I wanted to tell the story of Luong Ung, who's a dear friend of mine.”

“I was very worried about my mother, growing up - a lot. I do not want my children to be worried about me.”

“I'm not somebody that just wants to hold up a white flag and say, 'Let's all just get along.' I think people that do horrible things should be held accountable.”

“Oh, God, I struggle with low self-esteem all the time! I think everyone does. I have so much wrong with me, it's unbelievable!”

“I try to lead by example, being conscious of others and being responsible.”

“Like every parent, when you start your family, your life completely changes. And you completely live for someone else. I find that the most extraordinary thing. Your life is handed over to someone else. From that moment on, they come first in every choice you make. It's the most wonderful thing.”

“It's hard to be clear about who you are when you are carrying around a bunch of baggage from the past. I've learned to let go and move more quickly into the next place.”

“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.”

“I get impatient with people working on a film that have their head in their hands like it's the most complicated thing in the world.”

“When you work as a humanitarian, you are conscious that politics have to be considered. Because if you really want to make an extreme change, then you have a responsibility.”

“I am a strong believer that without justice, there is no peace. No lasting peace, anyway.”

“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.”

“I'm in a rare position where I don't have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it.”
