Jolie: 'I Am At Peace With Myself'

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has vowed never to contemplate suicide again - because she has finally found happiness in her life.


The star had a tattoo of a window inked onto her lower back to symbolise her new outlook after battling drug addiction and depression.


But Jolie had the window covered over in 2004 after finding peace with herself and vowing never to look back.


She tells the New York Daily News, "I used to think I was unstable, because I had this thirst for something.


"I could never figure out what it was. I couldn't sleep at night, and I always wanted to be somewhere else, and I have a window tattooed, this little box, and it's because wherever I was, I wanted to be somewhere else. And I always saw myself - wherever I was in life - staring out the window.


"I knew little about the world, and I was completely self-absorbed. It was only when I came out of my shell and started taking care of others that I found the real Angelina."


But Jolie admits she still sometimes feels lost.


She adds, "Sure, I am still restless, but do you know that my kids are the same way? We were in France these last few months and after a while they started asking when we could get back on a plane."
