-"I need more sex, okay? Before I die I wanna taste everyone in the world."

- "I always play women I would date."

-"I think the biggest thing I've gained from my marriage has been the knowledge that I can take anything that's thrown at me and not worry about collapsing. I feel a kind of inner strength, which I never felt I had before, so I was always very insecure. After those times when things were hopeless and the world was closing in, I now feel like I can stand up and face anything. I feel more confident about who I am and what I want from life than ever. It's taken me a long time to get to this point, but I feel like I've grown up. It's also a matter of growth. I like who I am much more now than I ever have before. Until you reach that point, you can feel so desperate in life. Now I feel very free and ready to live."

-"My breasts do still get in the way of action movies. I'm not knocking them, you understand, it's just that they are kinda big and can restrict my movements at times. You can bet Bruce Willis never had to deal with that."

-"I am the kind of person who doesn't recognize borders. I don't understand why we think it is okay to keep someone within one border when they are unable to feed their family when they could be getting help somewhere else. I don't see people as different so I don't understand the idea of borders in this world."

-"I would love to quit acting, but I am aware I can do more good as an actress than just working in the field. That is something I have to accept. I am more successful as an actress and an activist than just as an activist. Throughout my acting career, there has always been something missing; I had never felt totally fulfilled until I started my work with UNHCR.

-"I don't think any one person or any one organization should have the final word. That being said, I am working for a better United Nations. Nothing is perfect. You should never rely on only one source, but rather rely on those you believe in the most."

-"They have changed my life, they have shown me friendship and love and courage and loyalty. They have triumphed against enormous odds with unbroken spirit."

-"Refugees have done more for my heart and my spirit than I can ever express in words"

-"This work has given me a voice and an understanding of our world. Once you have seen what you must do, how can you stop doing what you can, whatever it costs you?"

-"I think it is vital that we do not remain complacent but that we ensure that children, not only in the UK, but in every nation, understand about international conflicts and their far-reaching consequences. Everyone can help, and learning about the issue is the first step."

-"While I was filming Tomb Raider in Cambodia I became aware of the landmine issue and the devastation they cause to the lives of children and their families. It was only then that I fully realised how little I knew about the realities of people’s lives in other countries, like living with the constant fear of landmines."

-"Children should grow up to be aware of what’s really going on in this world, how people are being affected in other countries that aren’t as fortunate as their own."

"It's wonderful. It's just the most amazing thing in the world. He's changed my life. He's really centered me. Anytime I think anything else is important, I just see his smile. He's made me be the best person I could possibly be."

-"We sleep next to each other so to wake up in the morning and have this little person next to you is great. He's quite a boy."

-"He's made me be the best person that I could possibly be for him. Motherhood is the most important thing for me and I know he's happy."

-"I was really nervous, because I wanted to make sure I’d be a good mom. He’s made me the best person I could possibly be."

-"I feel more connected to the world living in England than I do in America. When I'm in the States I feel very detached."

-"We started shooting in Greece, which was great, except I hate water and I hate bikinis. So we started this film with my worst possible day as an actress, which is me Jet Skiing in a bikini in the water in Greece."

-"I'm glad those curves are not mine. I don't find them attractive." (Talking about Lara Croft)

-"I'd like to be able to spend time with just jeans on, just hanging out. You see people outside working, and you always see guys with their shirts off."

-"I want to slide down a fireman's pole from my bedroom. So it's being put in! Nothing is as sexy as the fire pole will be. I'm sure I'll experiment with it. The bedroom is directly above the kitchen, so if I had a pole...I just like the idea of going from one room to the other that way."

-"I was distressed when this desperate situation was brought to my attention. I hope to encourage other people to make themselves aware of this crisis facing the Western Saharan refugees and do what they can to help."
-Angelina talking about West Saharan refugees and her donations to the UN.

-"He's married to a beautiful woman, and I'd sooner sleep with her than have an affair with him."
-Angelina's answer when asked about the rumour of having an affair with Antonio Banderas, her co-star in the movie Original Sin and husband of Melanie Griffith.

-"There's some serious erotic stuff in this movie. I really haven't done those kinds of scenes before. People think I have, because of my reputation, but the only time I did below-the-waist nudity in any way was in Gia. But that's it. Nobody's ever seen me really...above the sheets, goin' a little crazy and doing some things. I'm going to fight for them not to cut any of it. If they don't cut, it's going to get one hell of a rating."
-Angelina talking about Original Sin.

-"I'll make it real simple, I'm a 36-C. In the game, she's a double-D. In the movie, she's a D. We split the difference...[the movie Croft] is much more athletic, and she has smaller breasts, but she's still Lara Croft, so there."
-Angelina explaining how similar she is Lara Croft in the bustline manner of speaking.

-"I haven't touched a knife in a really long time, I don't need one, I don't want one. Mind you, I will be doing Tomb Raider, and I will probably be throwing them. But I was 14. I was like a real punk kid, and I was going out of my mind. And then sex was boring and I was working and..."
-Angelina talking about her relationship with knives (she collects them)

-"I've been gaining some weight to play Lara Croft. I'll get bigger and stronger. I like being bigger. I finally got my ass back, because I had lost weight. So I'm happy that I got my ass back!"
-Angie talking about the preparations in order to jump into the role as Lara Croft herself.

-"I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are. And I'd beat her, too!"
-Angelina on if she ever caught Billy Bob cheating.

-"Billy found me one day sitting in the bathtub in my pajamas, the rat on my lap, feeding it pumpkin pie. See, that's one of those things that only somebody that really loves me is going to think is cute."
-Angie talking about her husband Billy Bob.

-"If it weren't for Billy, I don't think I'd be doing much of anything in this life. He makes me feel like a woman. I have someone in my life who makes me discover what it is to be a woman, and really to be free, and to try things. So it gave me some confidence. And before I met him, I knew what it was to want freedom and have moments of it, but also to feel very caged. I'm completely out of whatever cage I was in, and it's because of him."
-Angelina telling us how much her husband means to her.

-"With doing the movies I've done I don't think I would be half the person I am today."

-"I have a dark reputation and people assume all kinds of things. I do have tattoos and I do wear leather, but there are other sides of me that my films express."

-"Honestly, 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 (likes to talk about her bisexuality)

-"Oh, God, well, I don't know if it's divorced families or what, but he and I were each other's everything, always, we've been best friends, He's the sweetest human being I know. He's a good person, and he's just given me so much love, and taken care of me and, you know, it makes life great."

-"And my dad, you're a great actor but you're a better father."

-"Get outside yourself. Get outside your environment. Do something for other people."

-"I like who I am better today than I have before. I've come to a place where I'm very comfortable, settled. It's the first time in my life I've been able to be soft, and I'm finding a strength in that."

-"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. Then I'm kind of like, 'Hi, I'm Angelina.'"

-"Sometimes I think [my husband] is so amazing that I don't know why he's with me. I don't know whether I'm good enough. But if I make him happy, then I'm everything I want to be."

-"I usually try to look for something I haven't done before, a side of me that I haven't completely explored. There's a truth in acting, and there's a very real part of me that can understand that or can believe in that or can see the beauty of that or see the ugliness in that and the statement that needs to be made. So it's all kind of me."

-"Sometimes I'll watch TV and go into a lotion trance for an hour. I try to find brands that don't taste bad in case anyone wants to taste me."

-"I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I'm dedicated to my work and that's what counts."

-"My family says everybody has a favourite Disney movie that says something about you. Maybe Dumbo was always laughed at for the things that were strange about him and eventually was proud of that and that's what made him fly."
-Angie talking about her favourite Disney character Dumbo (she is a big fan of the Disney characters).

-"I'd go from film to film and almost detach from one world and jump in another. I was living as these people and not having a self. I didn't know who I was. And things just get really dark."

-"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 didn't really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry. But also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it's the fixtures and fittings that finish you off."

-"...I don't see women, men, or black, white. I don't see a handicapped person, I just see the person. I see the aura, the energy."

-"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."

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

-"And, you know, he's the sexiest fucking creature that ever lived."

-"When somebody just loves you, and you can make that person happy, when your presence seems to make them happy, you suddenly feel like the most beautiful person in the world."

-"I never felt settled or calm. You can't really commit to life when you feel that."

-"I'm extremely honest, and I pride myself on it. I don't try to be shocking. I'm playful, and I know when something I'm saying is maybe shocking, but it's just the truth, I never wanted to be scary to people or upsetting to people. I simply want to live the way I need to live."

-"We can die at anytime so we must live fully in the moment."

-"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."

-"Some people say you are going the wrong way, when it's simply a way of your own."

-"Be brave, be bold, be free."

-"I think I'd make a good boy."

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

-"I've collected weapons since I was a little girl."

-"I'm who I am, and people can take it one way or the other, but I'm at least living honestly."

-"If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I'm not frightened by anyone's perception of me."

-"No one can make sense of it because it makes no sense"

-"I don't do tharapy, my choice of characters is my therapy."

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

-"Love one person, take care of them until you die. You know, raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are. And figure out what you personally love. And like go after it with everything you've got no matter how much it takes."

-"I've realised that being happy is a choice. You never want to rub anybody the wrong was not be fun to be around, but you have to be happy. When I get logical and I don't trust my instincts-that's when I get in trouble."

-"People will always say all sorts of stuff. Let them. I'm enjoying my life."

-"It's all or nothing with my makeup. If I get dressed up, I'll go to an extreme. I'll wear foundation and bright blue or bright red lipstick with one of my weird purple wigs."

-"I wish we lived in a world where everybody could be completely who they are. Just be open and happy, not feel judged."

-"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."

-"You accept that you don't know who you are. You learn to enjoy things better."

-"We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly... Only after we have lost everything, are we free to do anything... Throw things out there and not be perfect and not have answers to anything and see if people understand."

-"It's not my responsibility to have a personal life that everybody's comfortable with."

-"I don't think of myself as voluptuous or even feminine. In a perfect world I would walk around with no shirt, in leather pants and boots and not think twice about it and never comb my hair and be covered in tattoos and just be thrilled."

-"I need someone physically stronger than me.... I'm 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."

-"Personally, I need more sex, okay? Before I die I wanna taste everyone in the world."

-"I can't smoke cigars without playing with them."
-Angelina (after Tomb Raider she stopped smoking)

-"I always play women I would date."

-"I always fall in love while I'm working on a film. It's such an intense thing. And I've always been at my most impulsive when Englishmen are around. They get to me. And, no, we didn't have a big white wedding. We had a small black wedding."

-"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."

-"I loved some kind of expression. I didn't know what it was going to be. I didn't know if I could write, or paint that well, but I knew I could feel it."

-"Everyone got kind of crazy with me mentioning I was in love with a woman."

-"I'd probably would have married Jenny Shimizu if I hadn't married my husband. I fell in love with her the first second I saw her."

-"I'm a very straightforward person."

-"When I was young, my dad (actor Jon Voight) and I watched Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire. I told my dad that was the kind of animal passion I wanted from a man."

-"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."

-"Talking about love is like dancing about Architecture but that's not gonna stop me from trying."

-"When I was 14, my boyfriend moved into my mother's house with me. We were together and serious for two years. That relationship felt like a marriage. It was a tough breakup, so I immersed myself in acting to get over it."

-"I found that when I was 4 years old, there was this part of me that liked making people laugh and liked wearing glitter underwear. And how can you not."

-"He was the perfect example of an artist who couldn't be married. He had the perfect family, but there's something for him that's very scary about that."
-Angelina (about her father, actor Jon Voight)

-"Yeah, but before anything, I think in 6 years somehow I've grown up to have a beautiful home, 2 beautiful stepchildren, a beautiful husband, my family is healthy and happy. I'm financially ok and I do what I love for a living. That's what I think, and I think God, how did I get so lucky."

-"I choose roles that I think reflect my next stage of growth as a person."

"I didn't get it for the dark of reason everybody thinks. It's a reminder that we could die tomorrow, so live today. It was a positive reminder to be free..."
-Angelina Jolie (about her Japanese symbol of death tattoo)

-"Death could come at any time. The tattoo is a strong reminder to live fully in the moment and never have regrets. I didn't get the tattoo for the dark reason everyone thinks."
Angie (about her Japanese symbol of death tattoo)

-"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."

-"I'm odd-looking. I sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet."

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

-"You know, we all need to just wake up excited about life. I just want to do the job I always wanted to do since I was a little girl, and live in peace with family and people I love, and just be silly and collect T-shirts from gas stations and go on road trips and eat popcorn in the middle of the night and watch TV. That's all I want, you know?"

-"Oh, God, I struggle with low self-esteem all the time! I think everyone does. I have so much wrong with me, it's unbelievable!"

-"If you have enough people sitting around telling you you're wonderful, then you start believing you're fabulous, then someone tells you you stink and you believe that too!"

-"I love my father, but I'm not him."

-"I'm one of those people who needs to learn how to let someone hug me. I also need to need other people because I do."

-"I'm so self-sufficient that I don't know how to let a man be a man. Or how to commit to buying a house together. I could never even be on the same insurance."

-"Nah, I really like rats, I actually took one of the rats home, but my mom made me give it back. I like snakes too. Fluffy little things frighten me."

-"I've never really dated. I've slept with four men in my life, so it's funny to think that people think I'm a sex maniac."

-"Yeah. At the same time! Which is just confusing the issue, because I may love women--I have loved women in my life--but I don't cheat on them! [Laughter] I'm, in fact, a one-at-a-time kind of person."

-"Everybody went crazy when I went shopping alone at Harrods the other day. I was like; what the hell? Nothing has changed in my life and nothing is going to and I think that's a choice you make."

-"I could have my own children. I would give them yellow roses and if they got to loud I would put them someplace quiet, I would put them in the oven and I would kiss them everyday and tell them you don't have to be anybody because I would know that being somebody doesn't really make you anybody anyways."

-"I love the human body, I think as I get older, I think it would be even more appropriate. There would be, I don't know, more character in my figure."

-"I usually feel very invaded before I go to (my) premieres and end up crying. Then, when I finally get there, that's when I get comfortable."

-"People say to me, 'Be careful what you talk about. Don't talk about things that are weird.' But why are we all doing this if we're not going to be who we are?"

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

-"People are probably going to think I'm out of my mind. They already think I'm sexually wacko-sleeping with my brother, dating other men, a vampire..."

-"My father was very uncomfortable about success."

-"My dad always meant well, but he was in his mind a lot."
-Angelina (she didn't always have a strong relationship with her father, but now she has)

-"I've talked to my brother, and as long as he's not upset... and he's not. He feels that if it brings up issues about brothers and sisters..."
-Jolie (talking about her close friendship/relationship with her brother).

-"I went to the Renaissance fair with my mom when I was a little girl and there were all these kinda knives. There's something really beautiful and traditional about them. Different countries have different weapons and blades and there's something beautiful about them to me. So I began collecting knives. I've collected weapons since I was a little girl."

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

-"Whenever I find myself looking out of the window, whishing I was somewhere else."
-Angie, about her window tattoo.

-"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."

-"Fuck it, let's go outside. Let's just, like, fistfight."

-"I love doing lesbian love scenes. Before I did my lesbian scenes in Gia, I talked to actresses who said love scenes are easier with another woman than a man. Bound's Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly said they'd lie there and discuss the sale at Barney's between takes. It's different being with another woman because it produces a different sexual spark - it's a little dangerous and exciting. I loved it when I shaved my head for Gia because women kept wanting to touch it, and it became this very sexual thing, having no hair. I believe I get these sexually ambiguous parts because I love women, and not in a way that's superficial."

-"Well, at 14 I was a little, like, 'Don't touch me!' and that doesn't really help when you're having sex. A lot of it came from trying to get out all the pain that was inside me. You can't join a war, so you have this weird war with yourself. Now, everything is just different."

-"I don't take a lot of that "you're so hot" stuff seriously. I'm a really goofy odd little person and people will discover that eventually. For instance, I only wear black because I'm a slob. In fact, I only wear clothes that don't show spilled coffee. I'm one of the most flawed people. I woke up this morning and broke the phone by falling over."

-"Like when you stop at Baskin-Robbins and get a cone with sprinkles and sit in the car singing along to Elvis on the radio. It's an absolutely necessary thing to do, because you can."

-"But there's a side of me that's soft. I love my family; I want to be a mother."

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

-"Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from over mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life."

-"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. But I feel better when I have more weight on me. So it's when I'm not feeling like myself that people are telling me I look great. It's so strange. No matter what, somehow it's like I'm not enough."

-"I got really drunk!"
-Angelina Jolie (after Tomb Raider she started to drink less, and no, she hasn't had any problems with alcohol :)

-"Looking for a very secret, very straight night of reckless abandon to do all the things I've never done before. Shock me and keep it private."
-Angelina's Personal Ad

-"You're young, you're drunk, you're in bed, you have knives, shit happens."

-"I don't know much about my father's life. He goes to dinner with the family, but then he goes home and I'm guessing he's by himself and it makes me think, well, that's going to be me. I'm going to end up being connected to everybody via my films, but at the end of the day, I'll go home by myself. I think he's very alone and possibly lonely sometimes, you know?"
-Angelina (she didn't always have a strong relationship/connection with her father, but now she has)

-"There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow, frees you to appriciate your life now."

-"I'd have no problem killing someone."

-"I think most young people go through a point in their lives where they're considering death, or considering why they're alive, or why not, or why not to continue, or why to continue. And there's something, death doesn't scare me at all. I made a decision that if I was going to live the life I wanted to, and live in the moment, that you could never be too careful or cause it could risk, you know, you think about, or if I do this, then it could affect me this way in the future, or if I do this I'm risking my life, you know, you just have to do everything that you want to do, never regret anything, and be completly in the moment and in order to do that, you have to accept the realities of life and death."
