Angelina Jolie Rowing Quotations

I've learned that we all change constantly. It's rare to find that person who is growing with you in the same way at the same time, who encourages you to grow.

When you have kids it's nice to have a place where they can always return to and some place where they will grow up in, but I never had that. I'm not attached to things and places. I like that we [the family] keep moving. It's a nomadic life, and I think that's a great life. I'm excited when we take our kids to a new country and they don't just immediately look for the comforts of home. They blend into that country. Send them to any place in the world and they won't be scared. They'll just feel like they can make friends there.

I'm looking very much forward to growing older. I want to be an exhausted older woman but with a very full life behind me and one still going.

When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn't have parents. It's not a humanitarian thing, because I don't see it as a sacrifice. It's a gift. We're all lucky to have each other.

Acting helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I'm very, very grateful; it's a fun job. It's a luxury.

I went through what I imagine thousands of other women have felt. I told myself to stay calm, to be strong, and that I had no reason to think I wouldn't live to see my children grow up and to meet my grandchildren.

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 be 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.

When I was growing up I never babysat. I was considered to 'punk rock' to be trusted with kids.
