Jolie expressed her vulnerability while preparing for the role of Maria Callas, saying, "I related to the part of her that is extremely soft and didn't have room in the world to be as soft as she truly was and as emotionally open as she truly was. I think I share her vulnerability more than anything." This connection helped her to portray the emotional depth of the iconic opera singer.
Reflecting on her preparation, Jolie acknowledged the challenge of performing opera: "Everybody here knows, I was terribly nervous. I spent almost seven months training because when you work with Pablo you can't do anything by half. He demands, in the most wonderful way, that you really do the work and you really learn and train."
