Angelina Jolie Does Vanity Fair

Angelina Jolie sat down with Vanity Fair to discuss her directorial and screenwriting debut “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” the tale of a Bosnian refugee who falls in love with her captor. Us Magazine says:
The star feverishly wrote the script for the Bosnian War romance while feeling under the weather.
“I had the flu. I had to be quarantined from the children for two days. I was in the attic of a house in France. I was isolated, pacing. I don’t watch TV and I wasn’t reading anything. So I started writing. I went from the beginning to the end. I didn’t know any other way.”
She got the thumbs up on her screenplay from [partner Brad] Pitt himself. “He called and said, ‘You know, honey, it’s not that bad.’”
And her man remained “so supportive” throughout the project, she gushes. “He’d come in and say what he liked or what he didn’t understand. Like any woman, I would listen to most of it and fight a few things…It’s hard to separate the person that loves you from the critic, so I don’t think he’s a fair judge.”
You know, as a writer, I did some of my best work when I had the flu last year, too. Once I downed a couple of bottles of Robotussin, I started seeing all kinds of crazy shit. My brain just exploded with creativity. Well, technically, the doctor said it was more of an “aneurysm,” and that everything I had written appeared to be in Sanskrit, but still. I think we can all agree it was still way more interesting than any of the shit I wrote today.
