Angelina Jolie Does Entertainment Weekly
Angelina Jolie covers Entertainment Weekly and gives a very candid interview. She talks about Brad Pitt, her kids and the tattoo she made for Brad. Here are the highlights:
Angie on who helps her read scripts: Im terrible at reading scripts. I love to read and I hate reading scripts. Brad reads a lot because hes also producing. Were always joking about the fact that I just hate it. I have no patience. I cant watch movies either. What usually will happen is Ill talk to Geyer about what stage Im at in my life and what type of a woman or story Im looking to tell. Like with Wanted, I call and say, I really feel like I have to do something thats physical right now. Right now I dont want to work at all. I want to stay home, so the few things weve talked about are the amazing, once-in-your-lifetime things, like Atlas Shrugged. But other than that, Im not looking.
Angie on whether she and Brad are thinking about doing Atlas Shrugged together: Weve talked about that. But weve also talked about, Would that be good for the film? It would have to really work for the audience and not hurt the story. Its been 50 years of people trying to pull a movie together. If it comes together itd be hard to say no to. The people who have the rights are itching to do it. They were itching to do it before, but [looks at her pregnant belly] I got myself in a state!
Angie on her being polarizing (either you love her or hate her): Id like to think its because Im not neither here nor there in my life. I think anybody that makes a decision about where they stand is going to cause strong opinions about them. But I think thats what you should be hoping for in life, so I take that as a very good sign. That some people support me and some people really dont like me tells me that Im making decisions and Im standing strong for something I believe in. Im making choices in life. And thats the right thing to do.
Angelina on reconciling her previous knives and cutting persona to her newfound humanitarian mother persona: But again, its not that different. The reason I talked about going through certain pains or even cutting myself is that I was already out the other side. I knew there were people that do that and somehow are happy that somebody admitted they did and discussed how they got out of it. I dont see the point of doing an interview unless youre going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that Im extremely human and have done some dark things, I dont think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do and Id like to think its the nice thing to do.
Angie on whether she has any regrets (like all that business about wearing the vial of Billy Bob Thorntons blood around her neck)?: No! It was never a vial anyway. It was like a flower press. It was like from a slight cut on your finger and you press your fingerprint in. It was kind of a sweet gesture. I thought it was kind of romantic! I still love him dearly and think the world of him and Im proud to have been his wife for a time. I dont believe in regrets. Its a dangerous habit to get into it makes you pause in your life if you start thinking back and questioning yourself.
Angie on her ideal way to spend a free Saturday: I have a lot of those. Very simple things. On weekends we usually have family sleep. We always have one night a week where everybody stays up late, watches a movie, and stays in our bed. We have, like, a slumber party.
Angie on Brads new tattoo: I drew that. We went to Davos. Its not that we were bored at the World Economic Forum, but one night we didnt have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back.
Angie on whether the tattoo has any meaning: I mean, its meaningful in that its us making angles and shapes out of each others body, that kind of a thing.
