Quotes from Angelina

---

Listen and learn. "There is 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. "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 am, in fact, a one-at-a-time kind of person." "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..." Angie talking about her close friendship/relationship with her brother. "I've been gaining weight to play Lara. I will get bigger and stronger. I like being bigger. I finally got my arse back, 'cause I had lost weight. So I'm happy that I have my old arse back. "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 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..." "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." "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." Angelina's Personal Ad "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." "I've realized that being happy is a choice. You never want to rub anybody the wrong was or not be fun to be around, but you have to be happy. When I get logical and I dont trust my instincts - Thats when I get in trouble" "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." "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!" "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." "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?" "Death could come at any time," she says. "The tattoo is a strong reminder to live fully in the moment and never have regrets." - On her first tattoo of the Japanese Kanji for Death "I didn't get the tattoo for the dark reason everyone thinks." "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, 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 completely in the moment, and in order to do that, you have to accept the realities of life and death" "There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now." "That's the reason we kind of exist. It's like our Job. To give to each other. And learn from each other. To capture moments of people. So it's really strange to have somebody ignore the obvious human being right in front of them." "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. Its an absolutely necessary thing to do, because you can." F**k it, let's go outside. Let's just,like,fistfight. If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I'm not frightened by anyone's perception of me. 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. 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. 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. when other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire. 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. 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. 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. If being sane is thinking there's something wrong with being different....I'd rather be completely f**king mental. (sent from Hanna) 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. You're young, you're drunk, you're in bed, you have knives; sh*t happens. It's all or nothing with my makeup. If I get dressed up, I'll go to an extreme. I'll wear foundation, bright blue or bright red lipstick with one of my weird purple wigs. 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. 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. 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 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." 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. 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 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. People will always say all sorts of stuff. Let them. I'm enjoying my life. We can die at anytime so we must live fully in the moment. Honestly, I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny. If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up. I do have tattoos and I do wear leather, but there are other sides of me that my films express. I never felt settled or calm. You can't really commit to life when you feel that. 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.
