"I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess"
About this Quote
The scar comment sharpens the move. “Scars are sexy” isn’t really about wounds; it’s about narrative. A scar is proof of friction with reality - that you tried, misjudged, collided with consequences, and lived long enough to carry the receipt. When she says a scar “means you made a mistake that led to a mess,” she’s eroticizing accountability, or at least the evidence of having had a life messy enough to require repair. That’s a more provocative stance than the usual self-help gloss of “growth”: she’s not sanitizing the mistake, she’s spotlighting the wreckage as part of the appeal.
Context matters because Jolie’s public image has long been built on controlled transgression: the early “bad girl” mythology, the humanitarian reinvention, the high-profile relationships that played like tabloid epics. The quote works because it sells experience as authenticity while keeping the romance of risk safely tethered to “a good place.” It’s a permission slip for imperfection - as long as it can be framed as character, not chaos.
