The 38-year-old mother of six said she is 'very happy' with her decision to have both breasts removed, but that the ordeal is not over yet.
'There's still another surgery to have, which I haven't had yet. I'll get advice from all these wonderful people who I've been talking to, to get through that next stage,' said Jolie, who is thought to refer to an operation to remove her ovaries.
'I was very fortunate to have great doctors and very, very fortunate to have a good recovery and have a project like Unbroken to have something to be really focused on, to be getting healthy for, and to be able to just get right back to work.'
Jolie refers to the film Unbroken that she is directing - which tells the story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner who was taken prisoner during World War II.
The actress also spoke of how moved she was by the kindness and support she received from the public during her ordeal.
Angelina's mother died from ovarian cancer aged 56 after a ten year battle with the disease. She was told that she has an 87% chance of getting breast cancer and 50% risk of ovarian cancer.
Her partner of nine years Brad Pitt praised Jolie's decision to have the mastectomy as heroic.
