General
- “Well, at 14 I was a little, like, ‘Don’t touch me !’ and that doesn’t really help when you’re having sex. A lot
of it came from trying to get out all the pain that was inside me. You can’t join a war, so you have this weird war with yourself. Now,
everything is just different.”
- “Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from over mistakes. To make it right, pain and
suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.”
- “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 - that’s when I get in trouble.”
- “Oh, God, I struggle with low self-esteem all the time ! I think everyone does. I have so much wrong with me, it’s unbelievable !”
- “I haven’t touched a knife in a really long time - I don’t need one, I don’t want one. Mind you, I will be doing Tomb Raider
and I will probably throwing them. But I was 14. I was like a real punk kid, and I was going out of my mind. And then sex was boring and I was
working and ...”
- “You know, we all need to just wake up excited about life. I just want to do the job I always wanted to do since I was a little girl, and
live in peace with family and people I love, and just be silly and collect T-shirts from gas stations and go on road trips and eat popcorn in the
middle of the night and watch TV. That’s all I want, you know ?”
- “I think most young people go through a point in their lives where they’re considering death, or considering why they’re alive,
or why not, why not to continue or why to continue. And there’s something, death doesn’t scare me at all. I made a decision that if I was
going to live the life I wanted to, and live in the moment, that you could never be too careful or cause it could risk, you know, you think about,
or if I do this, then it could affect me this way in the future, or if I do this I’m risking my life, you know, you just have to do everything
that you want to do, never regret anything, and be completely in the moment, and in order to do that, you have to accept the realities of life and death”
- “Like when you stop at Baskin-Robbins and get a cone with sprinkles and sit in the car singing along to Elvis on the radio. It’s an
absolutely necessary thing to do, because you can.”
- “F**k it, let’s go outside. Let’s just, like, fistfight.”
- “If I make a fool of myself, who cares ? I’m not frightened by anyone’s perception of me.”
- [talking about her close friendship/relationship with her brother] “I’ve talked to my brother, and as long
as he’s not upset - and he’s not - he feels that if it brings up issues about brothers and sisters...”
- [Liv Tyler talking of her UNICEF inspiration] “I am also inspired by what Angelina Jolie is doing by traveling to places like Cambodia to help children by actually being there and being more involved.”
- “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.”
7
- “When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers, I kind of wanted to be a vampire.”
- “I didn’t really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry . . . but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is
hurting you, it’s the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.”
- “Everybody went crazy when I went shopping alone at Harrods the other day. I was like; what the hell ? Nothing has changed in my
life and nothing is going to and I think that’s a choice you make.”
- “It’s all or nothing with my makeup. If I get dressed up, I’ll go to an extreme. I’ll wear foundation, bright blue or bright red lipstick with one of my weird purple wigs.”
- “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.”
- “People will always say all sorts of stuff. Let them. I’m enjoying my life.”
- “We can die at anytime so we must live fully in the moment.”
- “I never felt settled or calm. You can’t really commit to life when you feel 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.”
- “You’re young, you’re drunk, you’re in bed, you have knives; sh*t happens.”
- “Because I am a bad girl, people always automatically think that I am a bad girl. Or that I carry a dark secret with
me or that I’m obsessed with death. 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.”
- [her father said when talking of her success] “Just look at that beautiful face and all the intelligence that
it has and all the passion. It’s quite extraordinary.”
- “If being sane is thinking there’s something wrong with being different ... I’d rather be completely f**king mental.”
- [on why her first tattoo was of ‘death’] “I didn’t get it for the dark
reasons everybody thinks. Death could come at any time. The tattoo is a strong reminder to live fully in the moment and
never have regrets.” and “It’s a reminder that we could die tomorrow, so live
today. It was a positive reminder to be free.” and “There’s something about
death that is comforting. The thought you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now.”
- [with regards the ‘window tattoo’] “Wherever I am I find myself looking out of the window, wishing I was somewhere else.”
- [on Angelina getting one of her tattoos] “I dropped my pants in a tatoo parlor in
Amsterdam, and 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 !”
- [quote from Jon Voight, her father] “These young guys come up to me and say, ‘Oh,
Mr. Voight, your work is so wonderful.’ Baloney ! It’s all a big smoke screen ! They just want to
get to Angie !”
- [during her visit to Kosovo] “People think that when a war is over, everything goes back to normal. But
in Kosovo, the security situation remains questionable for minorities.”
Relationships
- “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.”
- “That’s the reason we kind of exist. It’s like our job. To give to each other. And learn from each other. To capture moments of
people. So it’s really strange to have somebody ignore the obvious human being right in front of them.”
- “Love one person, take care of them until you die. You know, raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are.
And figure out what you personally love. And like go after it with everything you’ve got no matter how much it takes.”
- “Billy found me one day sitting in the bathtub in my pyjamas, 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 it weren’t for Billy, I don’t think I’d be doing much of anything in this life. He makes me feel like a woman. I have
someone in my life who makes me discover what it is to be a woman, and really to be free, and to try things. So it gave me some confidence. And
before I met him, I knew what it was to want freedom and have moments of it, but also to feel very caged. I’m completely out of whatever cage
I was in, and it’s because of him.”
- “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. Then I’m kind of like, ‘Hi, I’m Angelina.’”
- “Oh, God, well, I don’t know if it’s divorced families or what, but he and I were each other’s everything, always, we’ve
been best friends, He’s the sweetest human being I know. He’s a good person, and he’s just given me so much love, and taken care of
me and, you know, it makes life great.”
- “And my dad, you’re a great actor but you’re a better father.”
- [on her blood painted shirt when marrying Jonny Lee Miller, to the New York Times] “It’s
your husband, you’re about to marry him. You can sacrifice a little to make it really special.”
- [taken from an interview with World Entertainment News Network, 02 / 03 / 2001] “I
have ‘Billy Bob’ tattooed here (points to pubic area), so with the love scene, there’s no confusion. I shaved
it down at one point and did it. So anytime I do a love scene, I’ll just shave it off, so the name is really, really clear.”
- [on if she ever caught her husband Billy Bob Thornton cheating] “I’ve told Billy
if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn’t kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat
him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are. And I’d beat her, too !”
- [from the Calgary Sun, 09/01/2000] “When I was 14, my boyfriend moved into my mother’s house
with me. We were together and serious for two years. That relationship felt like a marriage. It was a tough breakup, so I immersed myself in acting
to get over it.”
- “I don’t want to make public the reasons for my bad relationship with my father. I will only say that like every child, Jamie
and I would have loved to have had a warm and loving relationship with our dad.”
- [from Premiere, 12/2000] “Sometimes I think [my husband] is so amazing that I don’t know why
he’s with me. I don’t know whether I’m good enough. But if I make him happy, then I’m everything I want to be.”
- [from the Calgary Sun, 09/01/2000] “When I was young, my dad and I watched Marlon Brando in
‘A Streetcar Named Desire.’ I told my dad that was the kind of animal passion I wanted from a man.”
- “After all these years, I have determined that it is not healthy for me to be around my father, especially now that I am responsible
for my own child.”
Sexuality
- “I love sex! I never get enough, I need it more than anyone I know.”
- “I need more sex, OK ? Before I die I wanna taste everyone in the world.”
- “I’ve never really dated. I’ve slept with four men in my life, so it’s funny to think that people think I’m a sex maniac.”
- “Honestly, I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny.”
- “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.”
- “Everyone got kind of crazy with me mentioning I was in love with a woman.”
- “I probably would have married Jenny Shimizu if I hadn’t married my husband. I fell in love with her the first second I saw her.”
- “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.”
- “Yeah. At the same time ! Which is just confusing the issue, because I may love women - I have loved women in my life - but I
don’t cheat on them! [Laughter] I am, in fact, a one-at-a-time kind of person.”
- “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.”
Filming
- [on Original Sin] “There is some serious erotic stuff in this movie. I really haven’t done those
kinds of scenes [before]. People think I have, because of my reputation, but the only time I did below-the-waist nudity in any way was in Gia.
But that’s it. Nobody’s ever seen me really ... above the sheets, goin’ a little crazy and doing some things. I’m going to fight
for them not to cut any of it. If they don’t cut, it’s going to get one hell of a rating.” - and it ended up with an 18 (R) rating.
- “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’ll make it real simple, I’m a 36C. In the game, she’s a double-D. In the movie, she’s a D. We
split the difference ... [Lara] is much more athletic, and she has smaller breasts, but she’s still Lara Croft, so there.”
- “I’ve been gaining weight to play Lara. I will get bigger and stronger. I like being bigger. I finally got my ass back, ’cause
I had lost weight. So I’m happy that I have my old ass back.”
- “Therapy ? I don’t need that. The roles that I choose are my therapy.”
- “If I didn’t have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.”
- “I do have tatoos, and I do wear leather, but there are other sides of me, that my films express.”
- “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.”
- [GQ magazine, 12/1998] “There was a time when I was really going to give up acting - right after Foxfire.
I was trying to find characters with a certain strength and things going on, but I was always disappointed. Wallace was the first thing I did where
I felt their ideas were better than mine.”
- [on her rekindled interest in acting when talking to Mr. Showbiz] “I didn’t know
exactly what I wanted, but I knew I could know, I loved some kind of expression ... I want so much to try to explain
things to somebody ... I’m very good at trying to explore different emotions and listen to people and feel things.
That is an actor, I think.”
- [from Premiere, 12/2000] “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.”
- “With doing the movies I’ve done I don’t think I would be half the person I am today.”
Film Scripts
- [Girl, Interrupted, Lisa’s thoughts on therapy] “Yeah well that’s what ther-rape-me’s all about. That’s why f**kin Freud’s picture on every shrink’s wall. Create a f**kin’ industry out of it. You lie down, confess your secrets, and you’re saved. Ka-ching !”
- [Girl, Interrupted, Lisa to Daisy] “You know what I think ? I think you wanna poop, Daisy. I think it’s been days.”
- [Girl, Interrupted] “I’m playing the villain baby, just like you want, I try to give you everything you want.”
- [Girl, Interrupted] “Look, she gave your husband a rim job, big f**king deal ! I’m sure he was begging for it, and I heard it was like a pencil anyways. [waggles little finger]
- [Girl, Interrupted, Lisa’s poem to Cynthia and Georgina]
Razors pain you, rivers are damp;
Acids stain you, drugs cause cramps;
Guns aren’t lawful, nooses give;
Gas smells awful, you might as well live.
- [Gone In 60 Seconds, in the bar] “I’ve got two jobs. I’ve discovered that you have to work twice as hard when it’s honest.”
- [Gone In 60 Seconds, entering a car warehouse] “Hello ladies !”
- [Gone In 60 Seconds, in the car warehouse] “Always a sucker for a red head.”
- [Gone In 60 Seconds, while on a stake out] “Which do you think is more exciting, having sex, or stealing cars ?”
- [Gone In 60 Seconds] “Next time I’ll pull out the leather and high heels and pink underwear for you.”
- [Playing By Heart] “Why don’t you do the world a big fat f**king favour and crawl back into your mother’s womb ?!”
- [Playing By Heart] “Talkin’ about love is like dancin’ about architecture.”
- [Tomb Raider] “Right. So pretty much : touch anything and you get your head chopped off.”
- [Gia] “I do be the prettiest prettiest girl... I do be that.”
- [Gia, in bed with TJ]
TJ : “Have you ever had sex with a man ?”
Gia : “Yeah ... once.”
TJ : “and ... ?”
Gia : “... and I coulda done that with a German Shepherd !”
- [Gia] “I have to go ! I have to go ! Everybody has to ‘go’ ! Where the f**k does everybody go when they have to go ... huh ?!”
- [Life, Or Something Like It] “I am a TV personality. My hair is my trademark, just like the ‘I don’t like to shower’-look is your trademark !”
- [Life, Or Something Like It] “I can honestly say that, at the moment, my life is ... perfect.”
- [Life, Or Something Like It]
Lanie : “OK, well, you heard him folks. The Seahawks are gonna win, and tomorrow it’s gonna hail.”
Prophet Jack : “And next Thursday, you’re going to die.”
- [Hackers] “God gave men brains larger then dogs so they won’t hump women’s legs at cocktail parties.”
