The Hollywood star said: 'I do believe in the old saying "What does not kill you makes you stronger.

'Our experiences, good and bad, make us who we are. By overcoming difficulties, we gain strength and maturity.'

In the undated interview the Mr & Mrs Smith actress also touched on several topics including her experience directing the Louis Zamperini biopic Unbroken.

The film was centred around the Olympian who spends 47 days in a raft with two fellow crewmen after a plane-crash before he's caught by the Japanese navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.

It seems as if she has picked up a few life lesson's from Zamperini's story as she said: 'Like many of the greatest human stories, it is about the capacity of regular men and women to rise above adversity.

'It reminds us never to give up, and that having the spirit to fight is what really matters. It is powerful because it speaks to the potential inside all of us.'

In last week's op-ed piece in the New York Times, she wrote about her agonizing wait to establish whether she had cancer - a fear which ultimately prompted her to have surgery.

With her ovaries and Fallopian tubes now gone, the mother-of-six and wife of Brad Pitt has entered early menopause and will not be able to have any more children, she writes in her candid, deeply personal essay.

In May 2013, the Salt actress famously had her breasts surgically removed after she found out she was carrying a genetic mutation that greatly increased her risk of potentially fatal breast cancer.

In the piece, Jolie explains that the mutation in the BRCA1 gene gave her an estimated 87 per cent risk of breast cancer and 50 per cent risk of ovarian cancer.

The director of upcoming flick By The Sea, starring her newlywed husband, also revealed she had lost her mother, grandmother and aunt to cancer.

No doubt family is very important to the actress as she enjoyed a fun night out with her daughters at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday night.

The stunning star was pictured giggling and getting a giant hug from Shiloh, 8 and Zahara, 10 in thrilled response to Angelina winning Favourite Villain for her role in Maleficent.

The inspiring actress, 39, opened up about feeling like an outcast to the young audience, and her daughter Shiloh and Zahara,during her speech at the event.

She said: 'When I was a kid I was told - like Maleficent - that I was different. But then I realized something: different is good. So maybe you don't fit in. Be yourself. And when someone tells you that you are different just smile and hold your head up, and be proud.'

'And as your villain,' the actress added with a wink, 'I would say, "Cause a little trouble. It is good for you!"'
