I do be the prettiest prettiest girl....I do be that.
Happy 31st Birthday, Angelina!
To celebrate, I've done a picspam. Complete with almost 70 pictures and over 50 quotes (which don't start until the 16th picture).
Not at all dial up friendly.
The Early Years
Strike a Pose
"When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers, I kind of wanted to be a vampire."
"Some people say you are going the wrong way, when it's simply a way of your own."
"People will always say all sorts of stuff. Let them, I'm enjoying my life."
"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."
"I've been reckless, but I'm not a rebel without a cause."
"If being sane is thinking there's something wrong with being different, I'd rather be completely fucking mental."
"If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I'm not frightened by anyone's perception of me."
"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."
"I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage."
"The truth is that I am probably the least morbid person one can meet. If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do."
"It's good to get on some tight pants and scream once in a while."
"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."
"Wherever I am, I find myself looking out of the window, wishing I was somewhere else."
"I never felt settled or calm. You can't really commit to life when you feel that."
"I need more sex, OK? Before I die I wanna taste everyone in the world."
"You're young, you're drunk, you're in bed, you have knives; shit happens."
"I need someone physically stronger than me... 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 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."
"I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny."
"I dropped my pants in a tattoo parlor in Amsterdam. I woke up in a waterbed with this funky-looking dragon with a blue tongue on my hip. I realized I made a mistake, so a few months later I got a cross to cover it. When my pants hang low, it looks like I'm wearing a dagger!"
"And barefoot or first thing in the morning, I feel beautiful. Because I feel like me. I didn't always feel that way, but I feel that way now. When somebody just loves you, and when you make somebody happy, when your presence seems to make them happy, you suddenly feel like the most beautiful person in the world."
"I've always seen myself as this goofy, odd little person and I'm really klutzy."
"I'm getting a wrinkle above my eyebrow because I just can't stop lifting it, and I love that you know."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to be open with the public. I would like to not keep secrets or be careful when I talk. I don't want to have to plan things...I want to be outspoken. I want to say my opinions and I hope they're taken in the right way. I don't want to stop being free. And I won't."
Let's Go to the Movies
"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 do have tattoos and I do wear leather, but there are other sides of me that my films express."
"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."
"If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up."
"Acting is not pretending or lying. It’s finding a side of yourself that’s like the character and ignoring your other sides. And there’s a side of me that wonders what’s wrong with being completely honest. All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what’s sexy or cool or tough."
"I've seen her onscreen and thought, 'She's proabbly one of the most beautiful women.' Then I saw her in the flesh, and she's even more beautiful."
-Gerard Butler
"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."
"Even the camels were staring at her in a certain way. The palm tress too."
-Val Kilmer
"I'd like to believe that the people that have supported me in my work or identified with me in films, the people that feel they know me, they do and they don't have misconceptions - they understand. I believe that."
Saving Lives, One Day At A Time
"Being the Ambassador for the UNHCR has changed my life incredibly. I met people who have survived things that we can't even imagine. Their spirit is unbreakable and brilliant and they made me realize so much about life."
"The children here grab your hands and walk with you smiling and singing. They have nothing. They are wearing ripped dusty clothes and they are smiling..."
"As I try to find the answers, I am sure of one thing: I am forever changed. I am so grateful I took this path in my life, thankful that I met these amazing people and had this incredible experience."
"There is nothing poor and horrible and sad about these people. They've inspired me."
"They understand something about life that many of us (thank God) never will, and they focus on many things we have forgotten. They know what to be grateful for. They appreciate the importance of family and community. They understand the power of faith and love."
"The beginning of the United Nations charter is 'We the peoples.' It's one of the most beautiful things I have ever read-- and that's what it is; this life spent together, all the people of the world, protecting our history, our cultures, and learning from each other."
"I am in awe of these people. Their will. Their hope."
"I honestly believe that if we were all aware, we would all be compelled to act. So the question is not how or why I would do this with my life. The question is, how could I not?"
Biology is the Least of What Makes a Mother
"He changed everything, but in the most wonderful way. Everything that should matter, matters. He's absolutely the center of my life."
"He says everything with a different accent...'Mama' sounds French, 'bye bye' is very Southern."
"My son has completely changed my life. He's brought me peace and chaos, happiness and joy."
"He's pretty potty trained. He's, I mean...he's...we're celebrating the potty now, we're embracing the potty."
"He gets very excited now, so when I come home and he comes in, he doen't say 'Mama,' he says '[Gasp]peepee poopoo!' [I say] 'Did you peepee poopoo?!' [and he says] 'yes!' and then he comes and he shows me the potty...and I do a potty dance."
"My life is completely turned upside-down, and yet it feels right. It's bizarre."
"Isn't he getting big? Isn't he lovely?"
"Children are the same all around the world. Beautiful."
