Angelina also revealed the reason why she decided to step back in front of the camera - and explained that she didn't need to be home as much for her kids. 'I don't think about it in terms of roles offered but in terms of life experience you contribute. It's easier for actors than singers or dancers because your body doesn't change.'
'I'm a hard worker. And a deeply feeling person. Maria is vulnerable because she feels and isn't sometimes able to protect herself from the loneliness or emotional pain. Because it's part of her life and work to be extremely human and live that way.'
