OlderAngelina Jolie: Refugees Give Me New Appreciation For Life
Angelina Jolie appreciates life a whole lot more now thanks to the world’s refugees. Here’s what the 34-year-old actress told Today Show’s Ann Curry:
On her childhood being much different if she’d grown up knowing what she has learned as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador: “I think it would have got me through my youth easier. I would have been less self-destructive… You see people that have suffered things that you will never, ever know. And you know how lucky you are.”
On making sure her children grow up knowing refugee children: “I want them to see it as an area where they can go down the street and play football with those kids and get to know them, and as they grow up seem them as those friends they spent time with. Hopefully I can raise them with a more accurate view of the world than I was raised with, maybe they’ll naturally be better people. And I’m sure my children will be visiting and learning from refugees in the future.”
On agreeing with Brad Pitt that this is one of the happiest times of her life: “I am extememly happy in my life. My children are healthy and it’s one of the most extraordinary times in my life and I’m able to do good things and good work.”
On being the “next Audrey Hepburn”: “I’m lucky to be in this. And I’m sure Audrey Hepburn felt the same. That she was the fortunate one to be able to meet all those kids around the world. You know, we’re just in a very fortunate situation that we get to be able to give a voice to these extraordinary people.”
On having birthday celebrations year-round: “I do have the twins, and I just had Shi in May. We have so many kids that we just have year-round birthdays. It’s a lot of fun now ’cause the older kids are old enough to help plan the birthdays for the younger kids. So it’s one of the great pleasures of life, the birthdays.” (This quote was actually from her speech at the National Geographic Society.)

i think those old stories were already past. angie and brad are thinking only for their future especially for their kids. leave them alone and stop linking x with brad.
Is that you, Jen, in your usual extreme delusion trying to convince yourself that you are not a serial dumpee?
You and Brad NEVER spent a total of 5 years together, stop lying! I know you are a pathologica liar, but try and speak honestly for a change. Try very hard!
As much time as you and Brad spent APART you can NEVER make the time amount to 5 years. Do the Math!
And did you forget how thrilled you were when he went out of the country to do Troy….because…….your words, Ms Liar, not mine “If he were here, we would be hanging each other from those trees out there…..” Remember those words, you lying piece of trash?
Remember also not thanking him in your 2003 acceptance speech? You thanked everyone in your little circle and conveniently passed over your “husband.” You drunken SOT!!! where was the “sweetheart ” in you then?
Stop lying and tell the truth for a change … for once in your self-absorbed, narcissistic life!
How can you even stand yourself?
Every man who comes in contact with you DUMPS your lying behind and you cannot stop lying to this very moment. Always trying to pass yourself off as some sweet person.. If you were what you and Huvane try to make people think you are, you might still have a husband. But, happily, Brad saw through your lying charade and dumped you.
When he met Angie and learned what a sweet, caring, loving woman really was like, he could not get away from you fast enough. He was even decent enough to let you know how very attracted to her he was. She did not steal him…..and you know it.
He fell in love with her - and this YOU KNOW too. And out of his own mouth– “I never wanted kids UNTIL ANGIE!” He NEVER wanted children with you. That is why he insisted the breakup with you had absolutely NOTHING to do with your refusal to give him children.
Across your forehead he has pronounced the words “DEAD END!” The same description every man who has met you also proclaim and run like bats out of hell to get away from you.
You are a disgrace to every woman on this planet. Milking your divorce for 5 years and trying to place the blame on the breakup of your unhappy marriage (Unhappy FROM THE VERY BEGINNING) on an innocent, beautiful, loving, caring woman who never did anything to you.
But you are such a conniver, a liar and a manipulator, you will never admit the dissolution of your marriage was YOUR OWN fault.
When will you stop crying the blues and fess up to your own shortcomings? Stop believing this dribble about you as “America’s Sweetheart!”
You are NOBODY’s sweetheart!
No MAN wants to have anything to do with you. Your constant and consistent lies have sealed your doom!
You have demonstrated with dependable consistency that you are nothing but a WEAK, shallow, thoughtless, self centered, hateful creature, and that NOBODY, no man wants to spend more that a few minutes in your company before getting as far away from you as he possibly can.
And as for Angelina getting pregnant…she did not do that all by herself, you stupid and WILLFULLY ignorant Manustain.
Angelina and Brad got pregnant together because BRAD WANTED her to be the mother of his children. NOT YOU! You know it, and the world knows it…so stop playing dumb and stupid. Try hard to stop being obtuse!
Brad has not given you a second thought since he left your sorry, wide butt behind. Remember the Oscars? Not one moment of Brad’s time was spent even talking about your sorry, pathetic self.
His LIFE (which he had none with you) with Angelina is so full and “RICH” his word….he is “proud of the family that he and Angelina have created TOGETHER” HIS WORDS! So, you - lying female dog….he is NOT stuck as you would like to think. He is “in Love” with his family. Something you know nothing of and will probably never know anything of.
…Did you notice all the love he exhibited towards Angie in Cannes? And don’t try to counteract those words with your own sickening display of a fake relationship with John Mayer.
Yours, - you know and the world knows, with Mayer was FAKE! .. But Angie and Brad’s relationship is GENUINE! You know it but you and your paid sidekick Huvane keep trying to describe it as otherwise. But you have not succeeded and will not succeed.
Why don’t you & Huvane give up your senseless attacks against Angie and find something constructive for yourself to do?
Instead of stalking Angelina and Brad 24/7 go get yourself a life. We understand NO MAN wants you, so stop chasing them and STOP trying to BUY them. It does not work. You are embarrassing yourself.
HOW MANY MORE MEN HAVE TO DUMP YOU BEFORE YOU GET THE MESSAGE?
There is NOTHING APPEALING about YOU!!
Why don’t you give this world a breath of fresh air and just DISAPPEAR!!!
