Love Quote by Angelina Jolie

"I love to put on lotion. Sometimes I'll watch TV and go into a lotion trance for an hour. I try to find brands that don't taste bad in case anyone wants to taste me"

About this Quote

Angelina Jolie turns something aggressively mundane - moisturizing on the couch - into a wink at how celebrity bodies are consumed. The first half is domestic, even slightly goofy: a self-soothing “lotion trance” that reads like an admission of stress management disguised as laziness. It punctures the expectation that famous women are always “on,” always camera-ready, by framing beauty maintenance as a private ritual bordering on dissociation.

Then she spikes it with appetite. “Brands that don’t taste bad” yanks skincare out of the wellness aisle and back into sex, but it’s not a breathy confession so much as a sly acknowledgment of the audience’s role. In Jolie’s era of peak tabloid fascination, her image wasn’t just admired; it was practically handled in public. The line “in case anyone wants to taste me” collapses the distance between self-care and being an object of desire, making the objectification explicit while keeping control of the joke. She names the intrusive fantasy before anyone else can, which is a classic celebrity defense: weaponize candor so it can’t be used against you.

The subtext is that even intimacy gets productized. Lotion becomes a prop in the economy of touch - safe, scented, branded, optimized for someone else’s mouth. Jolie’s genius here isn’t shock; it’s calibration. She gives you a glimpse of softness, then reminds you that softness is part of the job, and she knows exactly how the world tastes it.
