The actress Angelina Jolie, in a television interview, pointed out that there are times in her life that hid her away from her audience, where she lost a sense of freedom and security in addition to the harm that haunts her.
"I felt so small and downward, it took a lot to regain those feelings, perhaps more today than I have been in the past four years," she said.
She said the past few years had not been easy and had not felt strong enough.
Jolie did not say how long she was talking about, while many considered her divorce from her ex-husband Brad Pitt, as well as the post-separation incubation stage.
