Angelina Jolie Reveals the Advice She Gives Her 3 Daughters

Angelina Jolie is stunning on the cover of Elle‘s March 2018 issue, on newsstands February 20.

Here’s what the actress, director, and humanitarian had to share with the mag:

On the advice she gives her daughters: “I tell my daughters [Vivienne, 9, Shiloh, 11, and Zahara, 13], ‘What sets you apart is what you are willing to do for others. Anyone can put on a dress and makeup. It’s your mind that will define you. Find out who you are, what you think, and what you stand for. And fight for others to have those same freedoms. A life of service is worth living.’”

On why changing thinking is as important as changing laws and the importance of each person’s individual voice: “I think of how hard women fought to get us to where we are today. Everything counts, from the way you hold yourself in daily life and educate yourself on your own rights, to solidarity with other women around the world.”

On why she continues her campaign against sexual violence in conflict: “When it comes down to it, we still treat violence against women as a lesser crime.”
