Angelina Jolie didn't know how much she lost her voice after the death of her mother. 

Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand died oin 2007, at the age of 56. She had ovarian cancer and breast cancer. 

She shared, "People keep quoting me because I made, not the mistake— I admitted it was like a therapy. But it really is".

"Because I didn’t realize the practice of it and the learning of it is one thing, but it was finding my voice and letting my voice out that was really hard for me. And I was really emotional about it."

"I didn’t know how much I had lost my voice. Maybe when I lost my mother, maybe when someone hurt me, whatever it was, the different things that had made it smaller and locked it away".

"So finding it and letting it come out was very emotional, and such a feeling that I wish for everybody to have."

Referring women on the big screen, "They’re a good woman if they’re apologizing. Or if they’re breaking".

"Maria didn’t have a mother that loved her and told her that she was enough as she was, so both of our characters come from this being alone since they were little and feeling a little different for very different reasons."
