Angelina Jolie's not entirely flattering outfit looks even more bizarre sitting down to field some audience questions at the Santa Barbara Film Festival over the weekend. The usually serious-seeming actress cracked a few jokes at her own expense, which is always a good reminder that she still has that sense of humor she talks so much about. After gushing a bit about Clint Eastwood, she got to talking about some more personal things. Like her skills, or lack thereof, with technology. Here are highlights:
- On who is a better dancer between her and Brad: "I think we're about equal...Equally not so good."
- On being reluctant to make Mr. & Mrs. Smith: "Obviously I'm very glad I did it – It changed my life."
- Sexiest Man Alive — Brad or Matt Damon: "I'm going with the first one."
- On her tech savvy: "As Brad knows, I don't really know how to turn on a computer."
- On her biggest passion: "I love being a mom, and I think that's my big passion: being with my family."
Growing family, perhaps? Heh. As for not being able to turn on a computer, I guess she's just not down to embrace her inner geek.

Uh-oh, Clint Eastwood's wife better get in there! I kid, I kid.
1"As Brad knows, I don't really know how to turn on a computer."
Considering she played a hacker in one of her first roles, I find that pretty hilarious. [smile]
2She is funny and sweet.Love her.
3Ugly outfit aside, I think she's fab
4LOVE.HER.
5SHE IS SO CUTE!!... LOVE HER
6is so nice seeing her smiling and being nice and funny... like she said Mr & Mrs Smith change her life in a good way though...
7How can you not know how to turn on a computer? Even my mom knows. It just boggles my mind. Other than that, I am warming up to her. The photo of her and Brad kissing at that last award show was just too hard to resist. They are adorable together.
8So funny about Eastwood's wife...I agree.
9I don't believe people over the age of 70 when they say they don't know how to turn on a computer. It works the same way as every other electronic in our lives...with an on button that looks pretty much the same as every other on button. It is highly intuitive.
10i adore her. i love it when she relaxes and smiles!
11She is being real here. I love that about her. She always seems amazingly down to earth. Like if you met her she would be cool and normal. She looks uber geeky posing next to Clint Eastwood though. Its weird, she is possibly the most intimidating (if you were face to face and met) celebrity at this time and what exactly has she done movie-wise??? you know what i mean??? Why and HOW is she so famous!?
12I think she is great! Beautiful, intelligent and politically aware.
13she really seems to be at a good place in her life
14jkat, I'm with you on this one. Is Angelina trying so hard to give the impression that she's ignorant to pass as normal as possible? Com'on, the ON button is pretty much the same standard symbol on any equipment or instrument. Maybe I would have believed her if she said she could only switch on the computer but she couldn't do anything else past that. hmmmm
15She's so wonderful.
16horrible dress, even though i have issuses with her, i think she's a good actrice. saw 'the good shepherd" over the weekend. it was good!
17she looks better with more weight... like her Lara Croft weight.
18ugh.. this reminds me of an actress friend of mine who always walks around with her moleskine notepad and says she "doesn't know how to turn on a computer" because she thinks it will make her cooler or something. like, oh all this new technology is way too geeky for me, i've got more important things in my life than using the internet, i don't even have an email account! blabla..
19i know for a fact that 90% of ppl who say that are full of crap.
btw- that was not personally angelina related, just a general type of rant.
Maybe it's a hyperbole? I'm sure she knows HOW to turn on a computer. She could obviously turn one on, but she doesn't really use them.
20Cute interview. I didn't think the skirt was so bad, but the black top was to dark with it. She seems to be in long and flow-y mode...
21I don't think you can nit pick the computer thing too much, she's just saying she doesn't know much about them.
I think mello and desertbanshee are right.
22Dunno, I thought most people would have been able to tell she was just exaggerating about not knowing how to turn on a computer, it's not a literal statement, lol!!! Geesh!
23exactly what i was thinking hotstuff. ppl took her comment so literally
24I adore her, but that skirt should give plenty of material to attack without having to resort to wildly misinterpreting her jokes
25o' really!
26Yes, some people are just so dumb!! Don't you understand that there are quotes you don't take litteraly??
27Anyway, if you don't like her, stop reading things about her.
And I hope the one who says that she hope you will not look like AJ when she gets her age, I hope she is REALLY beautiful because that the stupiest thing to say.
AJ is the most beautiful woman and mapgazines, polls have proven that. Get a life!
Ah, I love her. I'll be happy to turn her computer on anytime. Wait, that doesn't sound right.
28i cant figure it out! in the previous post of her, u all were callin her wh*reLINA and now say AWW HOW CUTE! its strange!
29anyway i like angie
(LaurenG22 I love u're Yorkie picture!) I didn't say bad things about her...I like Angie, I hope she was kidding about the computer though!
30(LaurenG22 I love u're Yorkie picture!) I didn't say bad things about her...I like Angie, I hope she was kidding about the computer though!
31Could be different people posting on this topic than previous Angelina posts.
32I haven't been quite able to teach my mum how to turn on the computer...
33She's so boring........
34Ah she;s boring and ugly,and now stupid if she realy don't know how to turn on the camputer,attenition w*ore?yes she is.
35Oh and she realy looks older here,mid 40?
36Still don't like her,she rubs me up the wrong way.
37Horrible dress...people on here need to not take her statement about computers so literally.
38Lee7, you obviously didn't read earlier statements.Don't like her, why tell us?
39Lee7, you obviously didn't read earlier statements.Don't like her, why tell us?
40i still don't like her even if she does show a 'lighter' side. as for the outfits these days - i know that she's preggo - but there are so many better choices that she could be making.
now are we going to take bets to see which country she gives birth in?
41another thing that she doesnt know how to do to add to her list
1 leave married MEN alone
2 dress herself or her man
3 find a hair style that covers her reciding hair line
and i can go on and on
42She doesn't look so great here.
43Well I am like the majority here. I like Angelina too. She seems to have a wonderful attitude, acts like a great mother from what we can see, and plus she's talented too.
44PINKPRINCESS: LOL,good one.
45main one keep her mouth shut might catch a fly in that big mouth
46Angie's fab!I love her - but that skirt gots to go. lol
47She. Is. So. Weird.
48She looks genuinely happy, which is great! I don’t believe that she doesn’t know how to use a computer either.
that reminds of when the butler
in Tomb Raider tells Lara that a women should be modest) and I like it about her.
49She also looks simple and modest (
"now are we going to take bets to see which country she gives birth in?"
50Why would you care?!
