But there was another thing in particular that Jolie toldVFthat caught our attention: She doesnt watch TV!
Yes, its true, shes one of those.
I had the flu, Jolie explained toVF.I had to be quarantined from the children for two days.
I was in the attic of a house in France.
I was isolated, pacing.
I dont watch TV and I wasnt reading anything.
So I started writing.
I went from the beginning to the end.
I didnt know any other way.
It was something I didnt trust out of my hands, said Jolie.
So by default I ended up putting myself in as director.
She explained the reasoning behind her casting as well: It couldnt be anybody else.
It was important that they were willing to do it.
If none of them were willing, I wouldnt have made it.
Still, Jolie had her worries about being the sole person behind the labor of love project.
Ive never felt more exposed.
My whole career, Ive hidden behind other peoples words.
Now its me talking.
You feel ridiculous when you get something wrong.
Dont worry, Angie, whenever you talk, people willalwayslisten.
