Angelina Jolie: Relationships are extremes – you can love the person you want to kill
Angelina Jolie has opened up about the ‘extremes’ of being in a relationship.
Discussing her new film By The Sea, in which she stars opposite husband Brad Pitt, the A-lister said:
“Everybody knows that there is never just the tragedy of life or the humour of life or pure joy of life.
“Relationships have those extremes. You can absolutely madly love the same person you want to kill.”
Speaking in a brand new featurette for the forthcoming film, which is directed by Jolie, Pitt, 51, added:
“It's the puzzle of figuring out those things that get in the way of really loving someone.

“A lot of it's the past, a lot of it is insecurities, a lot of it is wanting something so much that you focus too much on losing it.”
The drama, which opens next month, centres on the troubled marriage of an American writer and his wife.
Jolie, 40, went on to admit that when she penned the film, she didn’t think that they would be starring in it.
She said: “I never assumed we'd actually do it, so I wrote with a certain kind of freedom.
“When I was writing [the script], I never assumed we'd actually do it, so I wrote with a certain kind of freedom.”
