I believe the only people that should be around a child and raising a child are people who absolutely, 100 percent love that child.

I collect books, and I love libraries. I love bookstores. And to me meeting a writer is important. And when I saw a book with my name on it I almost passed out.

I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.

I don’t believe in guilt; I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person. And don’t judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free.

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.

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

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.

Angelina Jolie

I don’t want people saying, ‘Should we get a female director?’ I want to hear, ‘Should we get a great director for this movie?’

Angelina Jolie

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.

I grew up as this very carefree, happy kid then things turned darker for me. Maybe it was because I saw that the world wasn’t as happy a place as I had hoped it would be for me.
