57. Love Sports Children Cheating I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women.

70. Good Me Happy Think The moment you have a child, in an instant your life is not for you, and your life is completely, 100 percent dedicated to another human being, and they will always come first.

80th of 205 Angelina Jolie Quotes
80. Think Honey Three Learn You just don't know when you get in the editing room what you will need as a link or a tool for a transition. If you're in a room, and there's a kettle boiling, get a shot of it. Don't worry if people think you're nuts. Angelina Jolie

86. Strength Woman Mom Fighting 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. Angelina Jolie
87. Life Good Mother Me Homework's hard. Especially math. My kids joke with me. They tell me they have homework. I say, 'Okay.' And then I sit down and they say, 'It's math.' 'No! Not math! English, history, anything!' Angelina Jolie

121. You Woman Upset Nice 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. Angelina Jolie
122. Life Good Relationship Never I think the depth, what children can handle and what they're interested in, is much deeper than I think what people assume. I think it's why sometimes we make things too simple for them. Angelina Jolie
123. Simple Children People Think My children love Maleficent's voice, so they always make me do it at home. Angelina Jolie
124. Love Me Home Children It was weird to be married; you kind of lose your identity. You're suddenly somebody's wife. And you're like, 'Oh, I'm half of a couple now. I've lost me.' Angelina Jolie
125. Me Wife You Lose When I first went to places where people were suffering from war and persecution, I felt ashamed of my feelings of sadness. I could see more possibilities in my life. Angelina Jolie

127. Life Myself Me Travel In my father's generation, the product was 80 percent of what you were putting into the world, and your personal life was 20 percent. It now seems that 80 percent of the product I put out is silly, made-up stories and what I'm wearing. Angelina Jolie

131. Love Hate Reading Terrible I don't see the point of doing an interview unless you're going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make.

I think it actually is the right thing to do, and I'd like to think it's the nice thing to do. Angelina Jolie
132. Life Me You Think War is so complex; human nature is so complex. There's no filmmaker who has ever figured it out perfectly. Angelina Jolie

138. Beautiful Me Women You I notice that my characters go out to dinner and have fun and take these great trips, but I spend so much time on their lives, I don't have much of a personal life of my own. I have to sort of remember to fill out that little notebook on me. Angelina Jolie

140th of 205 Angelina Jolie Quotes
