Jolie said: "There are certain things that bother me and certain things that don’t.

When the Sony leaked email scandal broke, Pascal told the media that "Angie didn’t care".
However much Angelina didn’t care, the leak - that was brought to light in December 2014 and referenced two films, Cleopatra and the Steve Jobs biopic - cost Pascal her job.
Jolie, on the other hand, has gone from strength to strength and both stars in and directs By The Sea in which her husband, Brad Pitt, also features.

Speaking about that collaboration and the role of female directors in the industry, Jolie said: "Sometimes people in the business focus on the fact that you’re a minority.
"I don’t want people saying, ‘should we get a female director?’ I want to hear, ‘should we get a great director for this movie?’
"But I’m the first female director that Brad has ever worked with. That doesn’t seem right when you think about it."
