There seems to be so many interviews around of Angelina Jolie between the press for her movie, The Changeling, and her W magazine spread. I thought I would share some of the interview that was written by Inquirer.net.
I had to share first thought that in the article it mentions the nicknames they have for the kids. They are so cute! They are Mad (Maddox), Pax, Zee Zee (Zahara), Shiloh, Knox and Viv (Vivienne).
On how Angelina and Brad Pitt find time for themselves with six kids around: It’s been the hardest thing to find—some time alone. Because even if we lock our door, they (the kids) knock. We often try to go to the bath together at the end of the night, where we sit and talk. They hear the water and want to jump in, so yeah, everybody ends up being there. But. it’s fun and lovely.
On how she deals with the lies from the media: Somebody told me I was depressed. My life is being with my family. My family is so real, close and happy. I wake up, and I want to make sure everybody’s healthy. I don’t care about anything else. You’ve also known me for a long time. It has been years of people saying things about me, so I do tend to ignore it.
On how the kids deal with people always taking pictures of them: We usually say that mommy and daddy make movies—that there’s nothing special or different about us. It’s just the fact that we happen to make movies, so people take pictures. It’s one of those things that you can’t really explain. Zahara hates photography. It makes her very nervous when she’s in the car. A lot of people say to us that she looks very serious. It’s because she’s actually upset when there’s a camera near her. She doesn’t like it. Shiloh tends to wave (laughter).
But, it scares them sometimes. We don’t want them in situations where they’re in a park and they’re going to get too many people around them. I wish there was a law that restricts the proximity that a photographer can have to the children. You have a long enough lens. I don’t understand why they can get this close to a kid’s face in a stroller. It doesn’t make sense to me, because I think it’s psychologically damaging for the children! But, that’s another fight.
