Angelina Jolie wants more children with Brad Pitt
By John Hiscock 5/10/2008
In the past few months she has been plagued by claims that she was suffering post-natal depression and her romance with Brad Pitt was on the rocks.
But yesterday, Angelina Jolie laughed as she revealed her biggest problem is managing to find time for romance while managing six children.
In her first interview since twins Knox and Vivienne were born on July 12, Angelina, 33, says: “Even if we lock our door, the children come knocking.
“We often try to have a bath alone together at the end of the night and sit and talk, but they hear the water and want to jump in.
“But it’s fun and it’s lovely – the thing about having six is once you’ve passed three or four, it’s so crazy anyway that it’s just more chaos and it’s all OK.”
As well as the twins, the couple have daughter Shiloh, two, and adopted children Maddox, seven, Zahara, three, and Pax, four. Asked if she feels she has completed her family, Angelina shakes her head and laughs: “No.” And marriage? “You’ll have to ask Brad.”
She and Brad, 44, are in New York for the premiere of her new film, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.
It was Angelina’s first public appearance since giving birth to the twins and she was hoping to catch up on some sleep before hitting the red carpet.
“Brad and I are exhausted,” she admits. “We are all jet-lagged and everybody started waking up at 4.30am, so Brad took the children because he knew I had to work. Brad is an amazing, really dedicated father.”
Already, she says, the twins are very much a part of the family dynamic.
“It’s so much fun but it’s very hard work. The kids are forming beautiful friendships. They’re teammates and they’re very loving to the babies.
“The twins are just the sweetest little things. They lay next to each other a lot and respond to each other. They’re starting to smile a lot. Knox looks like Brad and Vivienne looks more like me.
“They are developing interesting personalities. Knox seems more relaxed and Vivienne is more loud.”
Angelina reveals her family helps her ignore the rumours and gossip that follow her everywhere – not to mention the pressures of fame.
“I feel so blessed that every day I wake up and I live with my favourite people in the world and my best friend. I live with Brad who, more than me, has had to deal with fame, so we share that together and we find a way to make it fine and fun. We’re grateful for everything we have, but I wish I could just walk down the street with my kids and take them to get an ice cream, like my mom did with me.”
After painting this picture of her family life, it is little surprise to hear Angelina’s role in Changeling was a difficult one.
In a story based on true events, she plays Christine Collins, a mother praying for the return of her kidnapped son – only for police to return a different child. Refusing to accept it, Collins is vilified and finally put in a mental hospital.
Critics think the performance could win Angelina her first Best Actress Oscar.
“It was very hard for me,” she says. “I read the script and I couldn’t put it down, but I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t want to touch something that had to do with children being kidnapped. It scared me because anything happening to my kids is my biggest fear.
“But then I found myself telling Brad the story and thinking about this woman and what she went through.
“Throughout the filming I was very emotional. I was hugging my children more than ever and I wanted to know where they were at all times. I always had one of them on set and it was a hard thing to do – facing my biggest nightmare.
“I’m a mom so it doesn’t take much to imagine these things. I don’t think I would have played this role with as much emotion and understanding if I wasn’t a mother.”
Angelina and her family have set up home in Berlin till the end of the year while Brad films Quentin Tarantino’s war film, Inglorious Bastards.
WhileBrad works, she will be a full-time mum – then it will be his turn to stay at home when she goes back to work, probably in February.
“We had a big discussion about whether I should go back to work at all, but Brad said it was a part of me as well and it would be all right, so we’re trying to balance it all.”
By now it is clear whatever Angelina does will have to fit in with family life: “My life is being with my family and my family is so real and so close and so happy I wake up every day and want to make sure everybody’s healthy. My kids bring me so much joy and peace. I really don’t care about anything else.
“I could have the worst day in the world with people saying the most horrible things about me, but I go home and my kids love me and I feel like the most important person in the world.”

Of course I have comments about what she says here.
First, LBF, it seems Brad is the one who controls the marriage issue. When asked if they would be married, she says "ask Brad" Hum, and I thought you said he was dying to marry her but she wouldn't. Hum... shoots your theory in the foot don't it? *grin*
Secondly, it is interesting that Brad made the decision to whether she would continue working. With presenting herself as a strong independant woman, that sure doesn't fit. So Brad made the choice if she would work or not? I think she would roll over and play dead if Brad wanted it. The end result is a good one, because I think that says how much she loves him that he would decide that for her. I think she has fallen more in love with him than she ever thought possible, so it is good that he is the man and makes the really difficult choices for her.
And, another thing, I can't understand why if the jet lag is so bad why they would uproot all those children for a quick run to the states. Why wouldn't they allow them to get settled in Berlin? I know, if Brad had stayed behind with the children, it would of fueled rumors that they are on the outs. But, so what?? The biggest thing I don't like about her is she puts her own needs before that of the children. She drags them from here to there because she would miss them too much if they are apart, and she would have fear they would be kidnapped. Which, btw, she should use caution talking of her weakness, with as high profile as they are, someone could just attempt to make her biggest fear a reality and honestly, the manner that she runs her mouth, it would be difficult to feel sorry for her, God forbid anyone ever crossed that line and took one of her children. She is talking about that crap to promote her movie and again, that isn't placing her childrens best interests first.
And finally, she always has to talk sex. She should avoid this topic all together. Not like people don't know they have sex, but to say that they bath with the children is just weird. I bet the authorities who handed Pax over would be interested in the fact that she baths naked with her boyfriend while the children are present. Makes me shake my head how she gets a pass on such behavour when it is their law not to adopt to unmarried couples.
Also, she admits in this article that Brad is the bigger star saying he has more to deal with.That was good to hear her acknowledge that. It is funny to me how her private life completely overshadows this movie she is in. She wants it known she is an actress before a celebrity. Ha! what a laugh, dream on Jolie, dream on. Sadly enough,. same goes for Brad. He is more a celebrity than any charater he could play at this point, but, if it makes them feel better to believe their talent is first and foremost, they have to live in their own reality, misguided as it is.To believe it is one thing, to say it outloud is another. LOL Takes alot of big ego to actually believe it. Without her Hollywood celebrity statis she would be OLD NEWS as an actress.
