Angelina Jolie: I used to cut myself

Actress wanted try something different

Angelina Jolie has 6 children with Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie has admitted that she used to self-harm.

The actress says it was her way of dealing with the pressures of life. 

'I used to cut myself or jump out of airplanes, trying to find something new to push up against because sometimes everything else felt too easy,' explains Angelina, 35.

'I was searching for something deeper, something more. I tried everything.

'I always felt caged, closed in, like I was punching at things that weren't there. I always had too much energy for the room I was in.'

Angelina says she'll always encourage her partner Brad Pitt and their kids to try new experiences. 

'I unlocked my cage years ago,' she tells Parade.

'I want my children to have that freedom. I want that for other people, too.'
