Playboy.com: How does it feel to be the Hollywood "It" girl of the moment?

Angelina Jolie: I don't really take a lot of that "you're-so-hot" stuff seriously. I'm a really goofy, odd little person and people will discover that eventually. For instance, I only wear black because I'm a slob. In fact, I only wear clothes that don't show spilled coffee. I'm one of the most flawed people. I woke up this morning and broke the phone by falling over.

PB: After you won your second Golden Globe, you jumped into the pool at the Hollywood Hilton. Did people think you were nuts?

AJ: What's funny to me is that everyone wasn't jumping into the pool. It's one of those events, and the people in the room are supposed to be free and wild, but everyone is so tame and careful.

PB: You've never been tame and careful, have you?

WHO IS SHE?:

The 24-year-old actress-daughter of Jon Voight, Angelina Jolie has been hailed as the post-modern Ava Gardner for her sultry looks and incendiary sex appeal. She lives alone in New York City.

WHAT HAS SHE DONE?:

She's won back-to-back Golden Globes for TNT's George Wallace and HBO's Gia, in which she played a heroin-addicted lesbian supermodel who died of AIDS. After supporting roles in Playing by Heart and Pushing Tin, she's taken the lead opposite Denzel Washington in the creepy crime thriller The Bone Collector. Still to come: December's Girl, Interrupted, a distaff One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with Winona Ryder, Clea DuVall and Vanessa Redgrave; and next summer's Gone in 60 Seconds with Nicolas Cage and Giovanni Ribisi.
