Angelina Jolie has defended her decision to speak about her teenage self-harm days, insisting that her words and experiences could help others overcome their problems.
The pregnant star has previously admitted in several interviews she cut her arms as a teenager in a bid to cope with depression.
And although the 33-year-old has since managed to conquer her demons, she insists she is happy she went public with her struggle, because she believes talking about her own experiences has helped other victims.
She says: "The reason I talked about going through certain pains of even cutting myself is that I was already out the other side.
"I knew there were people who did that, and were happy somebody admitted they did and discussed how they got out of it. I don't see the point of doing an interview unless you're going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make.
"So to admit I'm extremely human and have done some dark things, I don't think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it is the right thing to do and I'd like to think it's the nice thing to do."

Madonna: 'Britney Spears Was Made To Grow Up Too Fast'
Madonna believes that Britney Spears’ destructive path is the result of becoming an adult too quick and never having a proper childhood.
The Hard Candy singer, who has collaborated with Spear’s ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake on her new record, claims that having a constant spotlight on her during the pop wreck’s teen years never gave her the chance to grow up properly.
She explains: "I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that she was never allowed to have a childhood. She didn't get to grow up and make mistakes privately and try things out and just be a kid and be innocent.
"She's been watched, judged and been under a microscope since she's been a teenager. It's hard to evolve that way."
The 49-year-old mother-of-three is determined to keep her own kids on the right path, even if she was somehwat of a wild child: "I just remind them about all the things that they have, and that if I didn't do what I did they wouldn't have those things."
And she's convinced her kids have no interest in becoming as famous as mum or Spears: "They're sort of over it. They like to skateboard around (but) they get to travel a lot, they get to do a lot of interesting things and meet a lot of interesting people."
