Angelina Jolie Names 1 Thing She Can't Live Without: 'You Can Take Everything Else Away'

Jolie is currently promoting "Maria," a biopic about opera singer Maria Callas, which she previously said required "almost seven months" of training.

Angelina Jolie doesn’t have to think too hard to identify the most treasured part of her life.

In a “Good Morning America” interview with Micahel Strahan about her new film “Maria,” a biopic centered on famed opera singer Maria Callas, Jolie was asked if there is anything in her life that compares to Callas’ love of singing.

“My motherhood,” she replied, adding: “It’s my happiness. So you can take everything else away from me. Nothing else matters.”

Jolie became a mother in 2002 when she adopted Maddox, now 23, from an orphanage in Cambodia. She adopted her second child Zahara, 19, from Ethiopia in 2005 — and gave birth to Shiloh, her first biological child with Brad Pitt, in 2006.

The former couple became worldwide tabloid fodder when Pitt ended his relationship with then-wife Jennifer Aniston and started dating Jolie. They adopted Pax, now 20, from Vietnam in 2007, and had twins Knox and Vivienne in 2008.
