“I guess I’m in transition as a person,” she said. “I feel a bit down these days. I don’t feel like I’ve been myself for a decade, in a way, which I don’t want to get into.”

As Jolie works to figure out what’s most important to her and where she wants to focus her energy, she said Atelier Jolie has played a huge part.

She revealed that’s especially true since she made the decision to start working on fewer movies about seven years ago and “only taking jobs that didn’t require long shoots.” She added, “We had a lot of healing to do. We’re still finding our footing.”

Though Jolie didn’t share many details on her reason for limiting what acting roles she accepts, she seems to be searching for other creative outlets such as with her fashion brand, where she hopes to create a sense of community.

“I think part of this has also been therapeutic for me — to work in a creative space with people you trust and to rediscover yourself,” she explained. “I’m hoping to change many aspects of my life. And this is the forward-facing one.”
