Business Quote by Angelina Jolie
“There are many people weve seen lost in this business because other people havent stopped to make sure theyre OK, you know? People are aware when others are breaking, but in this town they dont tend to stop and help them. In the end, it costs a life.

Im lucky because I was raised with so much love that I can take a lot of knocks and not take anything personally.”
