Angelina Jolie

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

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

I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.

I am the kind of person who does not like to carry baggage. In fact, I don't go back and listen to my own music. I believe in closing chapters and moving forward. That's what gives me peace.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.
