Discussing her goals for the future, Angelina said: 'I feel I like being an artist [is important] of course, but I’d like the other aspects of my work to take over my life a little bit more in the years ahead.'Really I just want to raise my children well, they’re all at those very special ages where you don’t want to miss a moment and just get it right before they’re out in the world on their own and having to face it.'You hope you get all the good stuff in, so that’s my main focus. But I have some other crazy ideas for future things, let’s see what happens.'

Dazzling in a ruffled cream dress, Elle told students the importance of having a strong support system as she revealed she still lives at home with her mother and grandmother. The How to Talk to Girls at Parties star encouraged the young girls to 'find their tribe'.
