Real life inspires Angelina Jolie’s work

When you write something from a blank page, it’s very hard to say, ‘This is important,’ because you don’t know: It’s your own life. It’s your own depression. It’s your own questions about your mother. Grief. Where to put your pain. For me, it was important to try to do it. And it was important to try to do it for my mother. It was important for myself. And it was wonderful to work with Brad, and for us to be able to get through it together, because we tested ourselves to see if we could do something like this together.
