"What the story's about to me is somebody's that's like all of us. We're wondering if somebody can ever love us for who we completely are, for every different side of us," the then-26-year-old Jolie says, then relating the role to the happenings in her life while she was filming Original Sin.

"It was a time in my life when I was kind of suddenly very much in love [with] this pure, very happy life, and yet I'm still this person with maybe a dark side," she says. "[My character] is also slightly schizophrenic and...I think Michael [Cristofer] (director) maybe knows something about me that I don't know."
