Maria didn&#8217;t have a family, so her work was everything. My work is not everything. Being a parent is everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jolie revealed that she is &#8220;grateful this film gave me a time to stop and learn and listen and appreciate&#8221; the importance of family amid her ongoing legal battle with Pitt as they dispute ownership of their vineyard in France.<\/p>\n<p>Callas was branded a diva during her opera career but Angelina wants to change the definition of the term as she could identify with her character&#8217;s &#8220;commitment to her work&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe &#8216;Salt&#8217; actress said: &#8220;I&#8217;m a hard worker. And a deeply feeling person. Maria is vulnerable because she feels and isn&#8217;t sometimes able to protect herself from the loneliness or emotional pain. Because it&#8217;s part of her life and work to be extremely human and live that way.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;You live through your communication with the audience. For Maria and for me that has always been extremely important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJolie believes that she has received more rewarding parts as she has grown older but thinks actors are luckier than singers and dancers when it comes to ageing because the &#8220;body doesn&#8217;t change&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I&#8217;ve got better work as I&#8217;ve got older.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I don&#8217;t think about in terms of roles offered but in terms of life experience you contribute. It&#8217;s easier for actors than singers or dancers because your body doesn&#8217;t change.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/angelina-jolie-parent-means-everything-1409858.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 December 2024 Angelina Jolie says parenthood means &#8220;everything&#8221; to her.
