Angelina Jolie says “Get naked with me, and I'll talk!"
Angelina Jolie opens up in the July issue of Marie Claire about Brad Pitt, children, and how she wants to make the world a better place. Jolie tells how Brad gets her to talk.
"I don't know how he does it, but…I talk a lot in the bath," Jolie says. "It's easier to talk when you're naked…Get naked with me, and I'll talk!"
Jolie says that although the road to her and Brad’s relationship has been rocky at times and rumors of a break up have been circulating, she and partner Brad Pitt are happy and they have found their "comfort zone."
"I think we both went on a lot of faith—we really did," she revealed. "Our family has grown very quickly, and we have a lot of responsibility together, and we acknowledge that we are lucky we turned out to be for each other everything we'd hoped. We could have been very wrong, but every challenge we hit has brought us closer. It has been that kind of relationship."
On the rumors about her job and the belief that she leads two lives, Jolie says "I have the great good fortune of being able to have a fun job." "It's a job that allows me to travel and that allows me, sometimes, to get out of myself…I try to make sure that my relationship with the man in my life is solid and complete and we're very connected and having a great life together and enjoying our children and being part of the world. So that's my life. It's not split in half. It's not one side taking over the other."
The 32-year-old mother of four is the star in the upcoming movie, "A Mighty Heart." She plays the widow of a Wall Street Journalist reporter. Jolie says that after she dies she doesn’t want to be remembered as an actress; she wants to be remembered for helping change the world and making it a better place. Jolie says that her work as an actress helps her cope with life’s problems.
"That's my job and I'm really happy to have it," she said. "But when I die, do I want to be remembered as an actress? No. I recently had an op-ed published in a newspaper. And at the end, it didn't say I was an actress. It said that I was a UN goodwill ambassador—that's all.
Mariane Pearl wanted Jolie to play her part, the widow, in "A Mighty Heart." Pearl’s husband was a reporter and was beheaded by terrorist while he was in Pakistan on an assignment. Pearl and Jolie had become friends after they shared thought over their interests on motherhood and Buddhism.
After Jolie read the book "A Mighty Heart" she became even closer to Pearl. "Focusing on that story on a daily basis, you certainly don't worry about your life," Jolie said in the interview. "I mean, there isn't a better film to make you hyperaware that you should complain about nothing."
"A Mighty Heart" is set to premier in the U.S. on June 22.
Jolie says she is planning to take a year off to spend with Brad and their children after she is done with shooting "Wanted."
