It&#8217;s still hard, because I have such a memory of my mother when I sing &#8216;Ave Maria&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was allowed so much space to do that with &#8216;Maria&#8217;, think of my mother. So I&#8217;m not quite yet listening to it again. I look forward to that day. But now (with the film), I associate some of the songs with the memory of something I shared, and a time I shared with those pieces of music. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I love Maria, I really love this woman. When I hear her, she&#8217;s like a friend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJolie is back in the spotlight with &#8216;Maria&#8217; after a hiatus from the industry that she took to focus on family amid her divorce from ex-husband Brad Pitt.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe &#8216;Salt&#8217; actress \u2013 who has children Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox with the &#8216;Wolfs&#8217; star \u2013 explained: &#8220;To be honest, I have needed to be home more with my family these last years.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;In that time, I have maybe become more grateful to have the opportunity to be an artist and play; to be in this creative world. I am happy to be here and I&#8217;m grateful to be an artist in any way, so that&#8217;s how I&#8217;m feeling.&#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-connected-late-mother-role-maria-1412300.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 January 2025 Angelina Jolie says starring in &#8216;Maria&#8217; helped her forge a new connection with her late mother.
