Brad was a huge surprise to me. I think we were both the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn't. I was quite content to be a single mom with Mad.
Not many people know this about me, but I'm a natural blonde. My hair went from light blonde naturally to a darker kind of blonde. My mother dyed my hair dark when I was a child, as I loved the look then. So I'm basically a natural blonde.
I grew up with my career being thrust upon me. It took me a long time to believe that I could do more than that one aspect of our business.
All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough.
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.
If you ask people what they've always wanted to do, most people haven't done it. That breaks my heart.
When I get logical, and I don't trust my instincts - that's when I get in trouble.
I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny. Which is a problem when I'm walking down the street.
The fact is I am not having sex. But I feel absolutely ripe for the, what would you say? plucking?
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'm just glad I was able to return to some of that innocence and beauty I had as a child when I started my own family, and my children brought me back some of that spirit.
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.
I grew up as this very carefree, happy kid then things turned darker for me. Maybe it was because I saw that the world wasn't as happy a place as I had hoped it would be for me.
The 'Maddox Jolie-Pitt' Foundation's work is inspired by our children and their connections to particular countries.
I'm getting a wrinkle above my eyebrow because I just can't stop lifting it, and I love that you know.
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.
Honestly, I like everything, boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny.
The great thing about having a bunch of kids is they just remind you that you're the person who takes them to go poop!
I never like being touched, ever. People used to say I held my breath when they were hugging me. I still do.
My mother was a full-time mother. She didn't have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences... everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving - she's better than me.
When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire.
Maleficent was always so elegant. She always was in control. And to play her was difficult. I worked on my voice a lot. She's bigger than me. She's on a different level of performance that I have never done.
We care for each other and care about our family, and we are both working towards the same goal.
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.
I feel matured in a way that I'm happy about. I'm at this other stage in my life - and it's not a bad thing at all.
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 am odd-looking. I sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet.
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.
I love to put on lotion. 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.
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've played real people before, but I never knew them.
Once you have six children, you're committed.
Brad and I have never wanted our kids to be actors, but we also want them to be around film and be a part of Mommy and Daddy's life and for it not to be kept from them, either. We just want them to have a good, healthy relationship with it.
First and foremost comes my family and my life with Brad. We have so much joy in raising our children and teaching them about the world that nothing really compares to 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.
The American people are bigger than any president. I suppose I have faith in my country and in what it is founded on and the values we hold dear.
