I do believe in the old saying, 'What does not kill you makes you stronger.' Our experiences, good and bad, make us who we are. By overcoming difficulties, we gain strength and maturity.
Angelina Jolie
Our diversity is our strength. What a dull and pointless life it would be if everyone was the same.
Angelina Jolie
Make bold choices and make mistakes. It's all those things that add up to the person you become.
Angelina Jolie
Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.
Angelina Jolie
Where ever I am I always find myself looking out the window wishing I was somewhere else.
Angelina Jolie
All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough.
Angelina Jolie
If you don't get out of the box you've been raised in, you won't understand how much bigger the world is.
Angelina Jolie
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.
Angelina Jolie
Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.
Angelina Jolie
The fact is I am not having sex. But I feel absolutely ripe for the, what would you say? plucking?
Angelina Jolie
We care for each other and care about our family, and we are both working towards the same goal.
Angelina Jolie
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
The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real simple. And I think it's not that uncommon.
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
There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now.
Angelina Jolie
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.
Angelina Jolie
I am a strong believer that without justice, there is no peace. No lasting peace, anyway.
Angelina Jolie
I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess.
Angelina Jolie
Ever since I dated a woman, I know what it is to grab a curve on a woman's body. Skinny's not fine when the lights are low.
Angelina Jolie
If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I'm not frightened by anyone's perception of me.
Angelina Jolie
They're right to think that about me, because I'm the person most likely to sleep with my female fans, I genuinely love other women. And I think they know that.
Angelina Jolie
Every woman is different when they go through menopause, and... I didn't know emotionally how I would feel.
Angelina Jolie
I was the punk outsider who nobody messed with. I was fearless. At 16, I graduated and moved out.
Angelina Jolie
I never thought I'd have children; I never thought I'd be in love, I never thought I'd meet the right person. Having come from a broken home - you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don't look for them.
Angelina Jolie
I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy. I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex.
Angelina Jolie
When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire.
Angelina Jolie
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.
Angelina Jolie
I'm getting a wrinkle above my eyebrow because I just can't stop lifting it, and I love that you know.
Angelina Jolie
Maleficent has suffered abuse in the past, and there's a reason why she is now as furious as she is. And I think that children who have been outcast and abused in any way will relate to her. There's a beautiful side to her; she's not just a dark person. She has all these facets. And that is interesting.
Angelina Jolie
I never like being touched, ever. People used to say I held my breath when they were hugging me. I still do.
Angelina Jolie
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
I've realized that being happy is a choice. You never want to rub anybody the wrong way or not be fun to be around, but you have to be happy. When I get logical and I don't trust my instincts - Thats when I get in trouble.
Angelina Jolie
To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.
Angelina Jolie
I've learned that we all change constantly. It's rare to find that person who is growing with you in the same way at the same time, who encourages you to grow.
Angelina Jolie
If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.
Angelina Jolie
My mother fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was.
Angelina Jolie
I always wanted a great love affair: something that feels big and full, really honest, and enough. No moment should feel slight, false, or a little off. For me, it had to be everything.
Angelina Jolie
I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.
Angelina Jolie
I've never lived my life in the opinion of others. I believe I'm a good person. I believe I'm a good mom. But that's for my kids to decide, not for the world.
Angelina Jolie
Without Cambodia, I may never have become a mother. Part of my heart is and will always be in this country. And part of this country is always with me: Maddox.
Angelina Jolie
I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny. Which is a problem when I'm walking down the street.
Angelina Jolie
If anything, I get most upset because I wanna read a good paper first thing in the morning. And if I see a lie about myself flash across the front of the cover, I don't think much of the rest of the newspaper.
Angelina Jolie
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.
Angelina Jolie
If every choice you make comes from an honest place, you're solid, and nothing anybody can say about you can rock you or change your opinion.
Angelina Jolie
Acting helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I'm very, very grateful; it's a fun job. It's a luxury.
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.
Angelina Jolie
