Angelina Jolie has told how she used to enjoy cutting herself with a knife during sex. The Tomb Raider star said she had a youthful fascination with knives and often took the blade to herself.

'It felt so primitive and so honest,' said the 28-year-old, known to millions as Lara Croft. She described herself as 'very sexual' and acknowledged a past affair with a woman.

She added: 'I was surprised when I found myself wanting to kiss and touch her.' Jolie also said she felt transformed by adoptive motherhood but no longer speaks to former husband Billy Bob Thornton.

She divorced the actor in May - months after they adopted a Cambodian boy. Jolie told US TV's veteran interviewer Barbara Walters: 'I thought he was amazing and now I feel I don't know him. We became very different people and I wouldn't know what to talk to him about.'
