In an interview with the Wall Street Journal Magazine, Angelina Jolie opened up about her thoughts on Hollywood and how she is healing after her split from Brad Pitt. “I grew up in quite a shallow place,” Jolie said of Hollywood. “Of all the places in the world, Hollywood is not a healthy place. So you seek authenticity.” As the daughter of Jon Voight, Jolie grew up in the industry saying, “Because I grew up around Hollywood, I was never very impressed with it. I never bought into it as significant or important.” Jolie also spoke about if she were given the chance to break into the industry now, she probably wouldn’t. “I wouldn’t be an actress today,” she said. “When I was starting out, it wasn’t as much of an expectation to be as public, to share so much.”

Seven years ago, Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, who she dated for 12 years and was married to for two years. The pair shares six children together: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, Knox, 15, Vivienne, 15. After the divorce, Jolie chose to take a step back from acting to focus on her family. “We had to heal,” she said of her family. “There are things we needed to heal from.” The actress and humanitarian shared her feelings on her relationship being public for so long. “Since I was young, people liked the part of me that’s pretty tough and maybe a bit wild—that’s the part that I think people enjoy,” Jolie said. “I’m not the one [who] you want to hear about my pain or my sadness. You know, that’s not entertaining.”

Her eldest child, Maddox, was adopted from Cambodia. Jolie fell in love with the country while filming “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” and visited an orphanage while she was living in the country. She immediately felt connected to Maddox, who was only seven months old. Throughout the years, Jolie has continued to fall in love with Cambodia, and says that one day she’d like to move there full-time. “It’s part of what happened after my divorce,” Jolie said. “I lost the ability to live and travel as freely. I will move when I can.”
