I’ll be working strongly for the next few years, doing the projects I love most and the films that are important to me and then after that I’ll only do a film every once in a while – one that mattershttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/7930663/Angelina-Jolie-interview-here-comes-trouble.html

My family is both my strength and my weakness. I love them deeply and if anything happened to them it would break me. 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.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/7930663/Angelina-Jolie-interview-here-comes-trouble.html

I met this amazing person, and we realized we had very similar views on how we wanted to live our lives. It's happened quickly, with so many children. Yesterday, picking up the kids from school, Brad turned around in the car, and there were three of them. He couldn't stop laughing. We love them and are having a great time.http://www.rd.com/your-america-inspiring-people-and-stories/angelina-jolie-on-being-a-mother-of-4/article38631.html

It's getting harder to make decisions to just want to do something to work... I'm trying to find things that are extremely challenging or mean something to me deeply. Sometimes something like The Tourist comes up and it's just fun, but I think it's not as easy to find projects now, to find something that means so much that you have to do it.http://movies.ign.com/articles/113/1139591p1.html
