Angelina Jolie

Every woman is different when they go through menopause, and... I didn't know emotionally how I would feel. ”

When you are an actor, you have to stay inside this world, but when you are with the crew, on the outside, you are in the dirt, working through all the issues. It's just a different way of working, and I think I preferred it. ”

If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up. ”

All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough. ”

I have much more support than most women around this world, and I have the financial means to have a home and help with care and food. ”

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. ”

I loved being Maleficent. I was quite sad to put my staff down and put my horns away because somehow, she just lives in a different world. ”

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. ”

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

There's people constantly asking you for something on set, so the multi-tasking of motherhood transfers very well to being a director. And I think you're compassionate. ”
