Angelina Jolie spoke with the BBC and there are three great clips up on their site. In the first clip, Angelina talks about the struggle behind her decision to take on Changeling and speaks highly of Clint Eastwood who was part of her reason for taking the role. He truly sounds like a dream director.
In this clip, Angelina explains the decision to sell their baby photos. I’m glad she addressed it because my goodness, I am so tired of reading and hearing the snark about that. The reason that she gave for her and Brad Pitt deciding to sell the photos is pretty much what I’ve been saying all along.
She also talks a bit about how much she’s changed since her younger actress days. I like how the interviewer said that it’s hard, sometimes, for other people to look at her when she’s a movie star and remember that she’s just an ordinary mom at home.
Of course, I also like that while Angelina agreed with her but said that she likes to think that a lot of people, especially other mothers, can see through the glamor and see that she’s not that different in the end.
In the other clip, Angelina discusses why she might stop acting for the chance to be with her children as much as possible. She also laughs about the future when she’ll be a grandmother and says that she just like being home and that she feels she has a big responsibility to her children more than anything else.
What did you think about the interview?

Sherry, Thanks! Great clips, I really enjoyed them. Angie is such a normal person, it always makes me smile to listen to her.
Yes, I’d hate to see this amazingly talented actress give up making movies, and I do hope that doesn’t happen. One a year would do.
She speaks of working in February…what’s she going to do? I haven’t heard any buzz yet.
I haven’t wathced the clips yet. Thanks to Sherry and to the poster(s) that recommended the clips.
I think she’s being her ole candid self. While I know it would be rewarding for her to retire from acting to focus solely on her family, I would certainly miss seeing her face on the screen. So, I hope she doesn’t retire any time soon.
I will admit that it’s hard for me to see past Angelina the actor because well, she does amazing things. But, it’s good to be reminded that she’s just like us common folks in many ways.
Original jpf, you’ve been around here for a long time. I only came on maybe a couple of years ago, when Sherry was on the helm already. Much respect to you :)
I said back right after Shiloh was born that I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she gave up acting to devote herself to her family and humanitarian work. If Sherry can find it, I’m sure I posted it here when Christine had the site.
I really feel that unless it’s someone like Clint or another director of that caliber courting her, or an amazing role that’s just to tantalizing to pass up, the Ayn Rand project will be her last.
She’s a bonafide Gemini earth mother just like my mom, and it’s like the most natural thing in the world for them to put mommyhood before personal ambition.
Thanks for the clips Sherry. Very nice interview. Angie is a great mom who is willing to give up career for family. But I would also feel sad if Angie gives up acting because she is such a talented actress. I hope she can at least do one movie every two or three years.
Is there any ifo where they could go?
wow. thanks for those 3 clips sherry. i believe the cover photo didn’t do justice, she looks radiant in that interview and classy. i couldn’t imagine what will happen if she’ll retire from acting, that would be so sad.
