WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FELT SEXY? GAVE IN TO TEMPTATION? TOLD A LIE? LET SOMEONE DOWN? WE ASKED ANGELINA JOLIE THESE REVEALING QUESTIONS AND MORE

BY FRED SCHRUERS

The last time I felt sexy...
ANGELINA JOLIE: In bed on the phone with my husband, Billy Bob [Thornton], in the middle of the night.

The last time I thought of my childhood...
AJ: I can't remember. I'm almost having my childhood now. I'm soft and silly for the first time in years with my husband and his children. I can finally be a kid.

The last time I revisited a special place from my childhood...
AJ: I don't revisit the past. I have no pictures of me up in the house. I don't have dolls and toys, or anything that holds on to my youth. I used to keep journals when I was little, but I burned them because I thought they would keep me in the past.

The last time I felt insecure...
AJ: Debating a political issue, because I'm still educating myself. I trust my instincts but not always my intellect. But I don't think about how I look in an outfit, or anything physical like that.

The last item of clothing I bought...
AJ: I don't shop. I wear the same thing every day. I've had these shoes [midcalf leather boots with a one-inch heel] resoled and rezippered four times, because I won't buy another pair. I had leather pants made that I wear all the time, or a good-fitting T-shirt or slacks; that's about it. I'll get into stuff for award things or characters in films, but not in my own life. I didn't even know my bra size until I made a movie.

The last time I learned something new...
AJ: I'm filming this movie [the romantic comedy Life Or Something Like It, shooting in Seattle] where I playa reporter, a sunny blonde. During the wardrobe and makeup test, they put me in a suit, pumps, a wig, and lipstick - I looked like Marilyn Monroe in drag. So I learned about my feminine side; I had no idea I had one.

The last time I jumped for joy...
AJ: I always want more, so even if I'm jumping for joy, I'm thinking about what's next. The most exciting thing is that when Billy and I get home, we want to stop working for a while-and probably not work again without being near each other and his kids. So we've been talking about vacation, how we'll play somewhere in a field as a family.

The last time I was extravagant...
AJ: Never. But I think nothimg is too extravagant if you wannt it. Put me im a Wal-Mart or a toy store, and I can be in there for three hours.

The last time I let myself down...
AJ: I do that every day, because I'm always wishing I could do more. I don't beat myself up, but I am pretty hard on myself.

The last time I felt powerful...
AJ: I got in an argument yesterday and fought for something I care about I felt that I was clear about where I stood and was able to verbalize it. If they say, "The audience may not understand that," you just have to say, "I think they would" It's important to let the audience figure it out, as opposed to spelling it out for them so they don't have to think. Don't make it something they're comfortable with and they've seen I 0 times already-because we know they'll like it and won't criticize it Well, they may criticize it. The average audience probably thinks most films aren't intelligent enough for them.

The last time I laughed out loud...
AJ: On the phone with Billy.

The last time I told a lie...
AJ: When I said, "I'm fine," but would have rather said that I wasn't.

The last time I told a joke...
AJ: I can't tell one. I don't know why. It's like I hit my head when I was younger, and that part of my brain is just absent.

The last time I cried...
AJ: Hearing a beautiful song of Billy's.

The last time I danced...
AJ: Last night, in my hotel room. I can tango, waltz, and swing. I actually competed in tango; my mom has a little statue It was during my punk phase, and I was the youngest one. I was balancing slam dancing with the girlie part of me

The last time I spent quality time with my family...
AJ: Christmas. My father, Jon [Voight, divorced when she was an infant; costarring in Tomb Raider), and I did while he was filming Tomb Raider. And I learned about the feminine side of me

The last time I felt like a woman...
AJ: When intimate with my husband.

The last time I felt trapped in a situation...
AJ: Coming back from Africa. [Jolie recently visited Tanzania and Sierra Leone on an educational tour sponsored by the U. N. High Commission for Refugees.] I had gone from the African jungle to a first-class flight home. Though I was covered in dirt, I felt real and at my most beautiful. And suddenly, I was surrounded by people who knew me as an actress. I think my appearance was upsetting to all of them, in their suits and makeup, looking at magazines I felt sick, because I started flipping through the articles about parties, film ratings, who has this or who's the hottest that. I felt like I didn't want to return to that world.

The last time I felt scared...
AJ: I don't get scared. If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I'm not frightened by anyone's perception of me

The last time I gave into temptation...
AJ: Every second I was just tempted to buy a plane ticket and a tunny gift

The last time I felt embarrassed...
AJ: I don't often feel embarrassed, because I accept that I'm a geeky klutz.

The last time I took on an attribute of Tomb Raiders Lara Croft...
AJ: When I finished Tomb Raider, I was more aware ot my body. For a period, I almost wanted a fiqht to break out. My answer to everyone, to every executive, to everything, was just like, "Fuck it, let's go outside. Let's just, like, fistfight." I'm not like that anymore, but I don't feel scared in a situation. I know I'd survive.

The last time I felt totally at peace...
AJ: When Billy and I were home with his kids-all in bed watching TV.
