My children love Maleficent's voice, so they always make me do it at home.
I'm always doing something. I never shut my brain off. I always have something going on.
I am odd-looking. I sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet.
Homework's hard. Especially math. My kids joke with me. They tell me they have homework. I say, 'Okay.' And then I sit down and they say, 'It's math.' 'No! Not math! English, history, anything!'
I love great journalism. I appreciate it. I love a good, you know, I love good news stories. I love great books. I love great articles. I appreciate them so much, and they've been part of my education as a woman.
I'm a woman, and anytime you tell a woman that she looks nice, it's not going to upset her.
It's getting harder to make decisions to just want to do something to work... I'm trying to find things that are extremely challenging or mean something to me deeply.
There's nothing I have to hide or defend. I'm gonna live my life. And there are times when people wanna try to attack me, and I don't know why, but they will. And that's okay.
I'm terrible at reading scripts. I love to read, and I hate reading scripts.
I get impatient with people working on a film that have their head in their hands like it's the most complicated thing in the world.
I loved being Maleficent. I was quite sad to put my staff down and put my horns away because somehow, she just lives in a different world.
I learned to fly a few years ago in England. It's the only place I'm completely alone - up in the air, detached from everything.
Brad and I have never wanted our kids to be actors, but we also want them to be around film and be a part of Mommy and Daddy's life and for it not to be kept from them, either. We just want them to have a good, healthy relationship with it.
My mother was a full-time mother. She didn't have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences... everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving - she's better than me.
