"I would like to be open with the public. I would like to not keep secrets or be careful when I talk. I don't want to have to plan things... I want to be outspoken. I want to say my opinions and I hope they're taken in the right way. I don't want to stop being free. And I won't."

"There was a time when I was really going to give up acting... Right after Foxfire. I was trying to find characters with a certain strength and things going on, but I was always disappointed. Wallace was the first thing I did where I felt their ideas were better than mine."

"I'm so nervous, I'm about to fall over..."

"But there are very few people that can hold me in a way, to look at them and talk to me. And to make me cry, and talk to me about my life. And also to say, get out there, I believe in you. Go, go, go. And get me to go, and go to get my life together. And for me to want to come back and say, look what I did."

"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."

"I know I present myself as many things, I'm very sexual, yet I've always been monogamous. I feel both masculine and feminine. I understand that side of men that excompasses the lone person. I have the restless spirit of a man."

"Thats the reason we kind of exist. Its like our job. To give to eachother. And learn from eachother. To capture the moments of people. So, I find it really strange to have somebody ignore the obvious human being right in front of them."

"I was open about it because I wanted people to know that I had been with a woman. I spoke about it because I had found something wonderful and I thought pepole should know my experience was very real, very normal and there were alot of things I learnt. It was beautiful and different so I thought I'd share it, but people decided to make it shocking."

"Therapy? I don't need that. The roles that I choose are my therapy."

"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"

What Angelina Jolie thinks about fear: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration I will face my fear I will permit it to pass over me and through me And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

"If being sane is thinking there's something wrong with being different, then I'd rather be completely fucking mental"

"Be brave, be bold, be free."

"Because I am a bad girl, people always automatically think that I am a bad girl. Or that I carry a dark secret with me or that I'm obsessed with death.
The truth is that I am probably the least morbid person one can meet. If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do."

"I'd like to believe that the people that have supported me in my work or identified with me in films, the people that feel they know me, they do and they don't have misconceptions - they understand. I believe that."

"when other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire."

""I wish I could find people who just would fight me and break through to me and hold me down and scream their life into my face."

"I am always on top. It's really unfortunate. I am begging for the man that can put me on the bottom. Or the woman. Anybody that can take me down."

"Figure out who you are separate from your family and the man or woman you're in a relationship with. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone. I think that's the most important thing in life. Find a sense of self because with that, you can do anything else."

"You don't have to be somebody, 'cause being someone does not make you anybody anyways"

"I consider my self to be straight forward"

"When your world falls apart or your feeling really depressed, you pick yourself up and smile so they won't worry"

"Maybe I was just around alot of people that cried, and I just saw it accomplished nothing"

"I am a good person sometimes if you're at wild or you have tattoo's or are a really good person or that maybe you don't like being a girl sometimes and be cared for or be with children, the great thing that you disover is thatyou don't suddenly stablizeand settle down. You do it your own way."

"The fact is, I'll always be the evil queen." - This was said after telling a story about Maddox pointing at Maleficent, the evil queen in Sleeping Beauty, and saying "Momma!" From Angelina's interview for GQ in March 2004.

"I dont suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it"
