"I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny. Which is a problem when I'm..." — Angelina Jolie

Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.

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.

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.

I'm in a rare position where I don't have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it.
