Angelina Jolie

I’m a very private person. I don’t go out much. I’m home with kids. I go to work. I don’t really like being the focus of attention, which is why I like being behind the camera more.

I’m able to be very effective because I’m not a Democrat, I’m not a Republican. So, I’m not tied, and I’d never want to be tied to anything, to some constituency that I would have to answer to.

I’m getting a wrinkle above my eyebrow because I just can’t stop lifting it, and I love that you know.

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.

I’m just glad I was able to return to some of that innocence and beauty I had as a child when I started my own family, and my children brought me back some of that spirit.

I’m not a hugger. People make fun of me. It’s something that I have a hard time with. If someone hugs me, I hold my breath. Snuggling, cuddling, hugging, crying – all that stuff makes me very uncomfortable.

I’m terrible at reading scripts. I love to read, and I hate reading scripts.

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.

I’ve had a wonderful career and I’m very happy to have had all of the opportunities that I’ve had to tell stories and work for as long as I have. I’m sure there’ll be a few more films but I’m happy that I’m able to be selective.

I’ve played real people before, but I never knew them.
