Click here for another interview with Anjelina Jolie!
When posed with the question “what movie scares you” Angelina Jolie and Ethan Hawke give answers that are as striking in their disparity as in they are in their ability to reveal the personality of each star. Jolie admits with a rueful pride that she “doesn’t watch movies”, and Hawke rattles of a list that is pure Hollywood: The Shining, The Exorcist, Seven, Fatal Attraction, and Silence of the Lambs. In their answers each celebrity lives up to their respective public identity; Jolie is the rebellious wild-child, reveling in her ability to say ‘screw-you’ to Hollywood and still be such a popular star. Hawke’s extensive list presents him as the ‘grateful star,’ one who graciously acknowledges the legends of the silver screen and his current peers with equal fervor. Hawke, it would seem, knows his place in the giant Hollywood machine; he knows how to play the game of pandering to directors, to stars and to reporters;Jolie couldn’t care less. And Hawke is known for being a reliable, if un-exciting actor, whereas Jolie, in both her roles and her personal life is never less then enthralling.

On the junket to promote their new movie Taking Lives both endured questions that veered from their experience on the film to delve into to their personal lives. Yet despite Hawke’s recent split from Uma Thurman and Jolie’s much-speculated love-life, both emerged relatively unscathed. Jolie is no longer solely associated with the ‘bad-girl’ image that her tattoos, her roles and her marriage to Billy-Bob Thornton garnered her. “I’ve made a choice not to have a man in my life” she states without hesitation and he finds it both “funny and ridiculous” to see how many people the tabloids present her as dating. Indeed, the new love of her life is her son Maddox whom she references constantly during the interview; she seems very determined to define herself not as a celebrity, not as an actress, but as a mother first and foremost. Her answer to the question: To her dismissal of movie-watching, Jolie adds that the only thing that scares her is “something happening to someone I love.” Reminiscing about her glamorous turn at the Oscars Jolie laughs and says “I left an hour early, went to “In-and-out Burger” and went home to my kid. Although Jolie emphasizes that she doesn’t take her work home with her because “she’s got kid,” she does speak about the preparation that went into her performance as in Taking Lives. In trying to get inside the head of a woman that was consumed by brutal, graphic crimes, Jolie worked with a real FBI profiler, observing how she tried to get inside the “head of the crime,” inside the mind of someone who was capable of such brutality. ...
