When she won the award for Favorite Villain as the evil lead in Maleficent, Angelina took time to hug her ecstatic little girls Zahara and Shiloh before taking the stage and recalling her own challenges growing up and attempting to fit in.

“I was told I was different. And I felt out of place: too loud, too full of fire, never good at sitting still, never good at fitting in. When someone tells you that you are different, smile and hold your head up and be proud, cause a little trouble. It’s good for you.”

Jolie has had struggles not only in her childhood but as an adult. Determined to prevent the cancer that killed her own mother at a young age, Angelina has chosen surgery and publicized it in an attempt to help other women.

And although Angelina won that award for her acting skills, most recently she has chosen to wear a director’s hat to create films with a message, as the Inquisitr reported. She now hopes to direct husband Brad Pitt in Africa, which features the story of Richard Leakey.
