Hi Rica!

Primetime Transcript with Diane Sawyer and Brad Pitt
Sawyer: A journey to Africa, joyful, powerful, emotional. A mission to turn poverty into possibility. Get back home, the blinding glare of the flashbulbs is waiting. All the questions about his marriage, his new movie and his new co-star. Brad Pitt: the journey from this life to these lives and the promise he says he must keep.
Sawyer: Good evening, and welcome to this special primetime. Tonight, BRAD PITT. You probably can’t find anyone who hasn’t heard that he has had a quite year: The end of his marriage, the new movie, and a new co-star. And we’ll have more on that in the course of the hour. But if you’re wondering what any of this has to do with Africa, well, Pitt said if he’s going to go public, he also wants to talk about something close to his heart. The people who live in poverty in Africa, and the stories that have changed his life. By now, it’s in the news, the next month; the eight leaders of the richest countries on earth are going to decide whether to fund a bold new plan for Africa. And supporters argue it’s a unique moment of opportunity to do what the US did for Europe after World War II. Education, healthcares, self-reliance and building democracy along the way. I’ve been reporting on the problems in Africa for two decades but tonight, Brad Pitt will take us on a journey from his life in Hollywood to a world an ocean beyond.
Pitt: Although we may be created equally, we certainly have born equal. I think it’s ambitious and I think it can be done. We have the potential to end poverty in our time. We can be that generation. We could be living in that era. Man! What is more exciting than that? The potential is there. We gotta go for it!
Sawyer: Brad Pitt, a giant star in a country where people can have so much, relying support for children, and a world away, children who dream of getting a single schoolbook or piece of bread, or a chance. He’s asking others to join him in a nation wide movement called the One Campaign. Its purpose: convince Americans there are solutions, ways to end poverty in Africa. And possibly, the campaign has united Hollywood’s liberals and Christian conservatives.
Sawyer: Hath Robertson.
Pitt: Yeah, it’s fantastic.
Sawyer: Isn’t it?
Pitt: Yeah. Aren’t we tired of these dividing lines of separators?
Sawyer: What are his common denominators?
Pitt: Common denominator? Something can be done. In ten years, we could have extreme poverty. We could cut it in half. In twenty years, we could end it.
Sawyer: And what was it you saw that you could do?
Pitt: I guess, shine some light on this. I can’t get out of the press. These people can’t get in the press. So let’s redirect the intention a little bit.
Sawyer: Why should we listen to celebrities?
Pitt: I don’t know we should. I’m very uncomfortable with this. I’m not comfortable even sitting here today and I’m sweating like a pig. I don’t believe people should listen to me. I’m hoping the images will speak for themselves.
Sawyer: So we sat out together first to Ethiopia. One of the poorest nations in the world. It’s Pitt’s second trip there. They are waiting for him. The minute he starts walking down the street, the children gather with excitement. Why are they so excited? These kids have no idea who Brad Pitt is. When I asked them, they say he’s someone who’s come to help the children. He told them his name is Dabao.
Pitt: Last time I was here, I told them my name was Brad and they kept thinking I was saying bread and dabao is bread.
Sawyer: It is a part of the world where people are trying to survive on less money per day than Americans spend on a morning cup of coffee. There’s a ram pet infection, open ditches full of sewege but the One Campaign says education can change all this and we don’t know it, the kids who live here sure do.
Pitt: We don’t understand not being able to put our children in school. They are trying to get out of school.
Sawyer: Just give them a shot at school; they’ll supply the all American dreams.
Sawyer: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Child: a pilot
Child 2: a doctor
Child 3 a pilot
Child 4: a manager
Pitt: We are so fortunate that we are born in a particular launch student latitude that we come from and we have no idea and we got to be careful because with that kinda comes a fernace of superiority.
Sawyer: That is deserving your luck?
Pitt: Yeah, that we are somehow better in someway yet, if we were born here, we will be suffering the same situation.
Hi, sweetheart! Hi, honey! And a…
Sawyer: She’s our most faithful companion.
The One Campaign says that here’s something the wealthy nations can absolutely make happen. In Ethiopia, you get a child to school for a year in a cost of one American CD.
Pitt: It was 22 million gross we don’t have an education, don’t have again, opportunity.
Sawyer: And yet, a cost of sending a child to school is?
Pitt: Sixteen dollars.
Sawyer: for?
Pitt: A year. That’s tuition, uniform and books. Which could make our break… their lives.
Sawyer: Right away, Pitt wants to check back in on two girls he met on his first trip five months ago. They are orphans. Both of their parents died of AIDS. They live alone. Hannah, 13, Mintemier, age 11.
Pitt: So good to see you.
Sawyer: A room with a fire for cooking their soul nutrition is bread.
Look! How beautiful! Thank You.
In our honor, some of the neighbors help bake a big bread with pepper.
Pitt: It’s beautiful.
Sawyer: Mintemier says she wants to be an engineer. Hannah, a doctor. Her favorite subject?
Hannah: Biology.
Sawyer: A relief organization has given the two girls the $16 they need for school. And no matter how much her stomach is growling, how little light her concrete had, Hannah studies as if her life depends on it.
Woman: During the night, up to 2 o’clock in the morning.
Pitt: You’re going to make a good doctor!
[Hannah coughs]
Sawyer: Then we hear a cough. Mintemier’s face says it all. Something is wrong with Hannah.
Woman: That’s a, you know, she has a coughing, fever sometimes. She has diarrhea sometimes. Even so, she is very strict in her education.
Sawyer: Coughing, diarrhea, Hannah’s dead parents, they have given her AIDS. These two girls are lucky. They have a champion.
He’s your friend?
Translator: He’s our father, she said. We love him as our father.
Pitt: Aw. I love you both!
Yeah. Hannah and Mintemier , they haunt me in beautiful way.
Sawyer: It is time to go.
[to Brad] Whatever the fact that you make lot of money, how do you sit in a room at night and decide what you are going to do personally?
Pitt: Certainly. There’s personal connection. You want to make your responsibility.
Sawyer: Keeping those private?
Pitt: Yeah, of course.
Sawyer: And even Brad Pitt’s money can only do so much, there are 12 million other orphans that need help too. A group of them sit with us at the Save The Children center. Their aunt has no one. They are running out of money for school. And this year, Wingalowet has managed to stay at top of her class but starts sobbing in fear. The next year, there won’t be money for her anymore. And when we head out back on the street…
Sawyer: I have an idea. If you sing a song for us, he will (Brad) sing a song for you!
Pitt: Ah! That’s a great idea.
Sawyer: And what do the neediest children in the world sing about? How great it is to learn things if you get to go to school.
[music]
Sawyer: A lot of people have assumed that Brad Pitt became involved in Africa because of his new relationship; in fact he says his interest began long ago, watching first what Oprah did and that night at home when he and Jennifer Aniston gave a dinner for Bono. The Nobel nominated singer trendsetter of U2, who talked about the possibility that a relatively small amount of money from the rich nations of the world could simply change history.
Sawyer: I asked Bono about you. And here’s what he said: “Brad Pitt is an extraordinary man. He is this, you know, gigantic movie star but he is very modest. And he just said: Is there anything I can do…
Pitt: It’s not just me! Listen, we who born in America, have to understand. We hit the lottery by growing up here, by being born here.
Bono: You feel in America Midwest where he is from. You feel a sense that America wants something for its generation to be remembered.
Pitt: I grew up in Southern Missouri.
Sawyer: Subdivision? Or?
Pitt: Subdivision. Yeah.
Sawyer: Church?
Pitt: Lot of churches. More churches then Seven Elevens, which is interesting to me. We have lots of Seven Elevens. Do I need to go on? [laughs] Do you want more?
Sawyer: Yeah! What kind of little boy were you? Trouble maker?
Pitt: I certainly… It’s funny… I remember in sixth grade I was class president, yet I got sent to the principal’s office one morning.
Sawyer: Tortured teen?
Pitt: I’m just by my own making… no… I had a… very good. My only thing was I wanted more and I wanted to see more. You know, I hadn’t been on an airplane until I was 25. I’ve been more in West Colorado.
Bono: Brad said, “I’d love to go to Africa. I wanna check it out for myself. Again, people say things to you that they don’t follow through. Let’s show the world what we are made of. This is America.”
Sawyer: America, with all its bountiful choices, there are more than 250 varieties of fancy bottle of water here. About 300 million people in Africa, have no clean water to drink at all. And at the pharmacy near ABC news, we count 27 different kinds of cough syrup alone. All mother in Africa, can’t get a hold of one spoon full of medicine to help her sick child.
Pitt: The frustrating thing, the real frustrating thing… [turns to a child] HELLO! Hello?!
The real frustrating thing is that we have these drugs; these are drugs that we could go down to our pharmacy and get. There’s no reason for these people dying like this. There’s just no reason.
Sawyer: And again, the One Campaign argues how quickly a little help can change all this. Pitt also visits South Africa, where last year the Bush Administration started sending money for drugs to treat aids. 6 million African need them, 200 thousand have now received them. But every statistic has a smile. Chas was so sick with AIDS. Now thanks to the drugs, everything is different.
Pitt: [to Chas] Do you play any sports?
Chas: Yes.
Pitt: What do you like?
Chas: Soccer.
Pitt: Yeah, everyone likes the soccer.
Sawyer: Angel has American medicine too.
Boy: Before taking my medications, I thought I was going to die without satisfying my dreams.
Sawyer: And also a very American pass time.
Boy: And after watching “Days of Our Lives”, I take my medication at 6 pm.
Pitt: [laughs] All right! Fantastic!
Sawyer: And by the way, giving the medicines, Africans take them religiously.
Pitt: The greatest success you have?
Man: Almost a 100%.
Pitt: Almost a 100%?
Sawyer: But only 70% of Americans who get them do.
Drummond: The degree to wish a small amount in Africa can save millions and millions of lives. Something a stager an uphold.
Sawyer: Jamie Dramatics, an executive director of Bono’s campaign tried to get nations to give a little bit more.
Americans will say to you, “We have lot of problems at home. There is a case to be made that we should take care of what’s happening at home first. There is hunger here in United States and there’s certainly need…”?
Drummond: There’s extreme need in America, but I think you have seen it yourself. The need in Africa is on the different scale.

Sawyer: Back in Ethiopia, we wined through the stench; the sewege tore to dark shack. Pitt is going back to revisit a woman who’s still standing, left her five months ago. No longer, she has AIDS and now TB. Her daughter Halina, may soon be one of those orphans.
Pitt: [kisses] So good to see you again!
Hi, Haline! So nice to see you again! Thank you! Thank you very much!
Sawyer: Halina says if she could get a little bit of money, even $5, she’d buy herself a schoolbook and help her mom.
Halina: Doctor
Pitt: You want to be a doctor? YES!
Sawyer: The rain starts pounding down on the tin roof.
Tell me, what will you have dinner for tonight?
Halina: Injara.
Sawyer: Dinner in a tiny house would be a few strips of old bread.
Pitt: I’m always amazed at ability we humans have to adapt or acclimate through a certain situation. I would sit down and have a dinner and ……. I’m gonna eat and have a laugh with whoever I’m with and uh, then go to another room where there are comfortable bed and comfortable sheets then wake up in the morning and decide what I’m going to do and I try to picture what are the evening like there. I can’t ……
Sawyer: And again, Brad Pitt can reach out to Halina and a community group is trying to help. But the One Campaign says think of the differences: the countries who have drugs to spare would also offer more of a helping hand. Outside, some more American style handshakes are constantly growing to band a few friends. Then later at a hospital, different kind of handshake. For babies, too many of them for the nurses to comfort or hold.
Pitt: [to a baby] Hi!
When you’d be walking down the aisles and you feel something grab your hand and when you look down, it’s a little ones like four to five and you see the power of contact and I remember one boy, specifically, laying in his crib and I just put my hand on his chest.. [Continue on Part Two]
chest and [sighs] this way of a bliss came over his face and the power in that, the power in just a human touch… broke my heart.
Sawyer: Another one of those comparisons: a cost of just one sandwich and soda in America, could fund six months of medicine to cure a child of TB. Still ahead tonight, we’ll have more on what works in Africa and more on Brad Pitt’s personal year ahead.
[Brad singing and dancing with students]
Sawyer: The dancing you did!
Pitt: I’m a hell of a dancer. I’m a hell of a dancer. You probably didn’t know this about me.
Sawyer: I think you left a trail of people saying, “Who was that big footed guy?”
Pitt: I wanted to go the interoperate to dance her out. To tell story through dance. I still see it as possible outlet for me, for my heart and I’m still sitting on that one, right now.
Sawyer: I think you need to lay a tart.
Pitt: I really don’t need to lay a tart.

Sawyer: And in fact, Pitt hasn’t needed much of anything since 1991 size mick day view on Thelma & Louise. His films have been alternately unconventional, risky, full proof. His latest, Mr. and Mrs. Smith opens Friday. More on that later. But it’s such a strange convergence: his movie career, his mission over seas and a melt down, here at home about the end of his marriage to one of the most beloved and beautiful woman in the country, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. He came back from Africa to the media frenzying and a public cry out say it isn’t so.
Sawyer: Your Google is up to now 2.7 million entries.
Pitt: [shakes head] I… I don’t even know how to respond to that. It’s a strange focus, isn’t it? That my relationships or relationship mishaps or takes president over or something like that… I… I, listen, I understand it’s about entertainment but man, it’s a bit misguided, isn’t it?
Sawyer: Ok, Let me give it a try.
Pitt: OK. We are going to talk about me?
Sawyer: YEAH!
Pitt: ay…
Sawyer: Why did your marriage end?
Pitt: Yeah, I’m going to talk about it here. [laughs] I don’t see my time, certainly my marriage as any kind of failure. It was an extraordinary time.
Sawyer: You quoted someone saying, “Things just take different shapes and it doesn’t mean that there’s no shape.”
Pitt: Yeah! It doesn’t mean you lose a love, it’s just that sometimes, love changes shape.
Sawyer: Reported everywhere that you wanted babies and she did not.
Pitt: Ridiculous. [coughs]
Sawyer: A pretend cough masking an expletive.
Pitt: Completely fabricated. You know what you find with these stories is that usually will turn one of us into the good guy and one of us into the bad guy, if you look at it, closely. Or even not that closely and it’s ridiculous. Most of these stories, probably 2% real fruit juice and the rest is just garbage with no nutricial value.
Sawyer: You said, “We talked about everything. We really did. We put it on the table. We didn’t hide who we were or what we wanted in any way.”
Pitt: That’s true. That was… That’s always been the basis of Jen and I and it’s where we were made.
Sawyer: And that’s how he says he and Aniston decided together to move on in their lives.
Pitt: As far as I know, we get one shot at this thing. We get one time around and it better be everything you wanted it to be. I mean, it’s up to you to make that and that’s it! That’s it! I actually think it was a really brave, conscious, conscientious decision on our part. I mean, we’ll see.
Sawyer: And we remember some things they had said in interviews even years ago: Aniston, February 2003, “Is he the love of my life? I think you’re always sort of wondering…” and Pitt in 2004, “Neither of us wants to be the spokesman for happy marriage, for coupledom…”
Is there…do you want to say about her right now, giving everything you have been through, something about who she is?”
Pitt: Not anything more than I have always said about her. She is still this same extraordinary person.
Sawyer: Stay in touch?
Pitt: Yeah, I mean it’s difficult now as we determine what the next juncture is but, yeah, always. I predict.
Sawyer: Have there been any laughs in it at all? I think of the Saturday Night Live people saying.
[Saturday Night Live] If these two are tired of having sex with each other, what hope is there for the rest of us?
Sawyer: The rest of us are just doom. Let’s just forget it and go home.
Pitt: Yeah, we had some laughs, of course.
Sawyer: You did say, also…
Pitt: Damn it!
Sawyer: You said that you’ve got a call from your mother saying, “I’m disappointed in you, I’m angry in you, but whatever you do, I’ll always love you. All my ******* are mad at me right now.”
[both laughs]
Pitt: What am I supposed to say?
Sawyer: Have they forgiven you?
Pitt: [laughs] I love these women very much. [sniffs] Listen, everything, you know, has a cost, every decision is made on every choice on life and again, I make my choices and I live with those. I like that, I like that. My mistakes are my mistakes, my wins are my wins and that, I can live with.
Sawyer: I asked you a question long ago, 1997? Do you believe in happy endings?
[1997] Sawyer: Still believe in happy endings?
Pitt: Yeah, absolutely.
Still believe in happy endings?
Pitt: Did I say yes at that time?
Sawyer: You did. “Absolutely yes”, not just yes.
Pitt: No, I don’t believe in happiness as a concept so… [laughs] I believe more in peaceful endings. Yeah…
Male Voice: Coming up later, a private stunt man acting lesson from one of the world’s biggest stars. When Primetime returns.
Sawyer: Walk out on the streets of America and ask people how much of the US budget goes to for an aid to help less wealthy countries, they give you a blank look or they say, it’s huge.
Pitt: We’ve got answers like 10%, 15% and 10% is the tied and that’s represented in the book. I mean, in the bible. The good book, shall I say and couldn’t be, not even close. We don’t even give 1%.
Sawyer: The correct figure is less than 1 %, which makes the US government one of the least generous nations in the developed world.
Pitt: We could really do more. We are the richest country in the world. We could do better than that.
Sawyer: The One Campaign says they weren’t talking about handouts. We travel to the countryside in Ethiopia to check on an innovated program with a dreary name, Micro credits. In fact, these are tiny loans that create big explosions of change.
Pitt: This is where they found that the successory has been 95 and above percentile as far as payback because they crease each other.
Sawyer: Here’s how it works: A community recommends a person to receive a loan and then guarantees repayment all of them together. This man got three loans of a few hundred dollars to fertilize his fields. Now, he’s able to pay back the loan and feed his family.
Pitt: They want it, they are capable, and they are hardy. They want this.
Sawyer: This man, Atila, who got two small loans to make handy crafts now have a child at university.
Pitt: Is that right? Congratulations.
Sawyer: How does it pay off specifically for America, politically?
Drummond: It’s also stability and security in a very fragile vulnerable part of the world. You have half and half Christian, Enemas and Muslim populations and the potential for things to go wrong is great.
Sawyer: But Drummond says the loans, the drugs, the food given by America can give this country a golden name.
Man: I love America because most of our people are in a poverty situation so America is fostering us, helping us, so I like America.
Pitt: [to a boy] What do you wake up thinking about?
Boy: Food.
Pitt: Yeah? What’s your favorite food?
Boy: I think it’s cereal.
Pitt: Yeah? What kind of cereal?
Boy: Kellogg’s.
Sawyer: This is Cicigo, who now loves America.
Cicigo: I have been drawing.
Pitt: You have been drawing more? Focusing on drawing?
Cicigo: Yes. So, can I ask you? In Ocean’s 11, how do you feel like acting with those people?
Pitt: Well, you know, they are really funny guys. They are my friends.
Sawyer: He learned about America because he received aids drugs through President Bush’s program. And thanks to people like Oprah, for money sent to his school. And even less can get the attention of an orphan. These, and save the children talk about their favorite possessions.
Man: A ball, Plastic balls.
Sawyer: This little girl says she is jealous of kinds who have parents to buy shoes. This child has to sell coal to live. And they all know they are just a donation away from ending up in the streets.
As night descends, some of those who did not get help emerge, a legion of prostitutes who started at age 12, 13, 14. They walk through town calling out bed for rent. A good night, covering in a total of $2.50.
Sawyer: When you heard the prostitutes talk about $2.50 in a good night?
Pitt: Yeah. Was it with or without a contraceptive?
Sawyer: What happens when you say, “No, I want a condom?”
Sawyer: The woman said that the men get violent.
Translator Man: She said, “I lost all my hope when I found myself engaging in commercial sex.”
Pitt: What would bring that hope back to her?
Translator Man: She says, “I want to open a shop and have an income.”
Pitt: They really look up to us as a fantasyland where you can do anything you want, where opportunities just drip from the trees and there’s some truth to that. There’s a real truth to that. Then they look for us to help.
Sawyer: The African kids who saw Brad Pitt on his first trip have sense figured out that the tall American is some kind of actor.
Man to Pitt: What is your act as they say. What do you act?
Pitt: Well, it’s questionable. [laughs] Mainly in films. I’ve been doing some comedies lately.
Sawyer: So they are eager to ask about some big movie stars.
Boy: Keanu Reeves.
Pitt: You like Keanu? Yeah. He’s really good. What is your favorite movie?
Boy: Bruce Lee.
Pitt: Bruce Lee? Yeah, he’s good.
Ok, the camera is there, right behind me. Are you ready?
Sawyer: This is Carabo who says he knows what he wants to be when he grows up. A stunt man.
Pitt: You still want to be a stunt man?
Carabo: Yeah.
Pitt: Ok.
Sawyer: So fast forward from Carabo in South Africa to Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It is Pitt’s 39th movie. An ironic and very funny dissection of the tiny torments in a marriage played out as war. For instants, her oven is just a decoy for her knives. Since they are both secretly assassins, and rekindling the flame after discovering they have been assigned to kill each other.
Pitt: It was really funny idea. It was really funny idea, man.
Sawyer: What was it that you like the best?
Pitt: It’s just a husband and wife who want to kill each other. It’s great fun.
Sawyer: So, how are you with guns?
Pitt: I’m good with guns. I grew up with guns, so.
Sawyer: Because Angelina said it was a constant competition.
Pitt: She’s a good shot. She’s a really good shot.
Sawyer: Which was harder: using the guns and filming the action sequence of the dance?
Pitt: Well, we have established I am a dancer, so I’m gonna go with guns.
Sawyer: Well, the director of the movie said, a first, even their dancing was a duel. With both taking charge.
[to Brad] You were both leading the first time.
[Brad laughs]
Originally the movie was going to star Nicole Kidman and when she pulled out, Jolie stepped in. She and Pitt working together for the first time.
[to Brad] When you first met her, what were you expecting? The tattoos? or the blood in the vile?
Brad Pitt: No.
Sawyer: He won’t comment but describes as not what the publicity leads us to think.
Brad Pitt: No, well, I have a great respect for her. She is a good egg. And a great actress and I admire what she is doing with her UN work.
Sawyer: Ok, let me try some of these questions.
Pitt: All right. Let’s go! Personal questions. Which I abhor.
Sawyer: Did Angelina Jolie break up your marriage?
Pitt: No. Let’s handle this like a game show. [laughs] No.
Sawyer: Everyone says she is home wrecker.
Pitt: It’s a good story. You know, I’ve been in these tabloids for 14 years now and there’s some point, you just become the Zen master.
Sawyer: Angelina Jolie has publicly and emphatically denied that they were together while making the movie. But no one denies after his separation from Aniston. They met in Kenya, those photos on the beach and he has been wearing a ring, which rumors say came from her. So what kind of relationship is this now? Are they officially together? We give it a try.
Pitt: There’s a lot still to, I guess, put in place. Listen, I don’t know what the future is just yet. There’s still things that have to, I guess, be answered from me individually.
Sawyer: Are you going to be able to keep this up not talking? Not talking about it?
Pitt: Well, it’s not… there’s not much to talk about, you know, at this time. If there is, I will.
Sawyer: Did you know that there’d be cameras everywhere? Did you know that there’d be cameras in Kenya?
Pitt: Well, obviously not. You know, obviously not. I mean it’s an amazing fact that bounty that’s on my head and the length that these people go to, get these shots and they mount a money that they are paying for these shots. I think something like half million dollars? Or three quarters of million dollars for these shots and as we talk about, what we are talking about today, I can’t help to think what that you know, what that money could have gone to. Hell, I would set up the damn pictures myself.
Sawyer: Ha! Now, do you want to tell me about that ring?
Pitt: What about? About this ring?
Sawyer: Uh-huh. Yeah.
Pitt: What about it?
Sawyer: Who gave it to you?
Pitt: I actually got it at the photo shoot. No, really. I mean the thing we get to do is … It’s really, it’s not a gift from anyone. I know that it’s in stories and magazines or in some speculation that it was a gift from someone. I’m telling you straight out, it’s not. It’s a freebie.
Sawyer: And what about the tabloid portrait of the famously glamorous Jolie as a temturious and him as guy in a mid life crisis.
Pitt: So, you know, if you want to make me the bad guy, then I’ll be the bad guy. I know my truth, I respect my truth and I have no qualms.
Sawyer: And you have no mid life crisis?
Pitt: No, not yet. I keep waiting for it to rear its ugly head. Maybe I do, I don’t know.
Sawyer: What would you ask yourself right now?
Pitt: Well, anything I would ask myself, my response would be, I’m 41 year old man and I don’t see any need to defend myself.
Sawyer: Do you want to clear up on record?
Pitt: No.
Sawyer: Do you want to throw something at me? [laughs] You do?
Pitt: Something heavy. Something really heavy with sharp corners.
Sawyer: In other words, whatever takes for this hunted man to have a little part of his life all his own.
Pitt: Listen, there has been so much speculation and so much misinformation and it’s just been about entertainment and public consumption, I mean, you want to keep something for yourself.
Narrator: Up next, Brad Pitt talks to Diane about children, his own. When Primetime returns.
Sawyer: As we said on July 6th, the eight richest nations in the world were to meet to make a life altering decision about Africa. Whether to increase their commitment at a time when Pitt and Bono and the One Campaign argue Africa is so eager to change with just a little help from its friends.
As the winds of change seems to be blowing for Africa, The One Campaign asking people to sign up on the web site and send a message for July 6th.
Pitt: We should be sending our prayers in president Bush want to wave a support
Drummond: And give the president permission to do what we thing he would like to do with the American publics permission, the job can be done.
Pitt: If we understand that we have a real opportunity to one, end a suffering, to change a coven. We could do this in our lifetime. This is unprecedented. Isn’t it worth a shot?
Sawyer: And there are winds of change for Brad Pitt too. He’s now, finally on a vacation break and for fun, he’s even bleached his hair.
Pitt: New chapter, truly a really interesting time. It’s a shake up year of redirection and I find it very very interesting.
Sawyer: He’s ready, he says for a new kind of life in LA.
Pitt: I want a simpler life. I’m trying to downsize. I’ve got so much crap that just cumulates. So the idea is, is this romantic idea of getting my closet down to section of just like this. And a little pile of clothes are just like this.
Sawyer: And what about the house you designed?
Pitt: Yeah, it’s really beautiful. It’s beautiful.
Sawyer: You know what’s gonna happen to it yet?
Pitt: No. Someone will enjoy it.
Sawyer: Would you ever live in a house that big again, you think?
Pitt: Um, you know, I don’t think so.
Sawyer: We remember, the last time we talked was when he was with his pals on Ocean’s 12 and we asked what he yearned for most in the future.
[to Brad] Still want family?
Pitt: Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, it just feels like a natural progression. You know, it focuses off myself. It’s got to be healthy thing.
Sawyer: As we know, Angelina Jolie adopted a child. We wondered if he would do that too, perhaps one from Africa.
Pitt: Oh, I don’t know. I’m certainly hoping to. It is a beautiful idea. Especially meeting this kids fist to hand but at this point, I don’t know.
Sawyer: Because those people go on impulse, you know?
Pitt: You know, just at this particular point, defining what this, I guess next juncture or direction it’s gonna be.
Sawyer: But for now, he says, he’s just trying to keep this promise to tell their stories to the rest of the world. Someone once told me, in African say, that the people you meet there leave an imprint on your skin. Idiomatic is the phrases: As I leave for home, I am wearing you.
Pitt: I found, you have seen so daunting, complex in their horror and the end of human existence is somewhere. And it’s not tell little by little, I begin understanding how we could change this. We can change this. Wingalowet, she knows how important her education is. Certainly, Atila, looking after his family. Lesigo, this kid would not be there, if it wasn’t for Americans. But this is the example of when it works and what American can do and what the industrialize of nations of. If we all come together and develop these relationships, I have to answer them and in some way, I guess it’s an honor.
Sawyer: And we would like to say “Thank You” to save the children for their help and the work we saw there and of course the One Campaign.org. That’s our show for tonight. If you want to find out more on what you can do, go to out web site at http://www.abcnews.com I’m Diane Sawyer and as the Ethiopians would say, Amasakanalu. Thank you and from all of us on this special primetime, Good Night

Hi Rica!
Brad’s interview below:

MAMADOG!!!!!!

I LOVE U!!!!!! MUAH…BIG KISS!!!! WOMAN U ARE A GOD SEND!!!!
“WILDEST DREAMS” THANKS YOU!!!!

NOW FOR ANGELINA AND ANN CURRY!!!!

Yo Jared….Thanks huh! You’re simply fabulous. You are spoiling us BAMZS fans.

Do you think guys that the #1 Most Fascinating Person according to Barbara Walters be AL GORE? I guess his documentary “The Inconvenient Truth” put him into the limelight more than being a former Vice-President. I wll surely be buying this Vogue magazine. Angelina will always be beautiful in our eyes!

Isnt that Vogue issue dated sept 2005.

Seems like forever since they did an interview with fishsticks.

:lol: :lol:

It is so simple yet beautiful

My two cents professional opinion on Brad and Angelina’s relationships…..

None of us can really predict how any romantic relationships can last. Any relationship requires nurturing and a lot of work in learning to understand each other. We are humans, and by its very nature, we are complicated creatures because we evolved and changed constantly. The biggest challenge is to learn about ourselves - accepting and loving not just the good things, but embracing the demon in us (hoping that we can tame and embrace it as part of who we are),so that we can be more free to love and share ourself to another person with less anxiety…

Any committed relationship has always a greater chance of lasting. As far as Brad and Angelina’s relationship is concern, they both seemed to have real committment in preserving the sanctity of their beautiful family, despite external pressures beyond their control. Their adoration for each other and to their beautiful children are just inspiring. Their devotion seems absolute, not just because of their children, but I think it’s because they found true love and happiness - sharing the same passion not just in hobbies, but also sharing the same moral philisophy in life (their humanitarian work). Based on what we learned and observed from their actions and interviews, they both appeared to be in the same mind set as far as their roles and responsibilities, as parents, lovers, activist and of course being a hollywood power couple. Their actions speak loudly of mutual respect of each other’s iindividuality and strength. Not to mention that they both oozes pure passion…..

So in my professional opinion, without giving any timeline, they will last for a long time……

Rica…Got it!!

Dateline - Angelina In Namibia
30 April 2006, written by Lady Jolie (SourceJolie)

Ann Curry: You’ve got to hand it to Angelina Jolie. She could be sipping fresh squeezed orange juice in Malibu and sitting out the end of the pregnancy. But instead she has chosen this moment, when so much attention is focused on her, to turn that spotlight to the problems faced by millions of children worldwide. Our visit took us to Namibia, where Angelina Jolie talked about motherhood, Brad Pitt, and solutions for what many consider an insurmountable problem.
Tonight our exclusive interview, with Angelina Jolie.

In Namibia, at the edge of Southern Africa’s vast Kalahari desert, a very pregnant Angelina Jolie emerged from a private vacation - with Brad Pitt and their two adopted children – to advocate for one hundred million kids across the planet who can’t go to school, either because of war, lack of opportunity, or crushing poverty.

Angelina: People often look at people like this in these situations, and they think… that they’re not exactly like us, y’know, that they look at them a little different and think they live in a shanty town and they don’t… they’re very smart, they’re very… they take care of their families…
Ann: They love their children
Angelina: They love their children and they um…
Ann: And they want them to go to school?
Angelina: And they very much want them to go to school.

According to studies by the Global Campaign for Education, every extra year of school for children in developing countries increases their wage earning potential, and decreases their likelihood of getting sick.

Angelina: You can teach them young about hygiene. You can teach them young about protecting themselves form Aids. You can teach them young about how to take care of their kids. You can teach them young about vaccinations. If every kid was in school, every year 700,000 less people would get Aids.
Ann: So education can be not just life changing, but life saving.
Angelina: Absolutely.
Ann: Why do you care so much?
Angelina: Just because I know. With my kids you know, I think of Zahara. She’s from a country where 6 million kids don’t go to school every year. Just in her country alone. It’s really tough. Her mother died of Aids and so they wouldn’t have had any funds to send her to school.
Ann: So she would have been the exact child you’re trying to help.
Angelina: Yeah. And I know her, and I know how smart she is, and I know what a great lady she’s going to be, and to know there’s so many girls like her out there that… that aren’t going to get that chance because we haven’t figured it out in the world to… to figure out that just education should be free.

Angelina: [Talking to local kids] What do you want to be when you grow up?
Girl: A nurse.
Angelina: A nurse [nods head]

Ann: We visited the 30-year-old Angelina in Namibia’s Mondesa township.

Angelina: [Talking to kids] What are you going to be? A football star?
Boy: Yeah.

We sat down in the small two-room school-house and discussed education.

Ann: This is a moral challenge, in your view.
Angelina: Yeah.
Ann: About our stepping up for those in need.
Angelina: It’s moral, and it’s also—it’s also smart, you know? All these poor countries, not just Africa, but Asia as well and all poor areas. It’s gonna be places where our kids are either gonna be visiting and working with, and it’s gonna be a different world. Or it’s gonna be worse than it is now.

Angelina has been a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations on behalf of refugees for the last five years. That work brings her to some of the world’s most dangerous places, like Darfur, in Africa, where the U.S. says genocide is occurring.

Ann: Despite having everything going for you, you have chosen the hard road to travel to all of these tough places, to adopt the way you do. And that’s why people are fascinated with you. You could be in Malibu, living in a beautiful house—
Angelina: See, to me, that’s the tough road. (Laughter)
Ann: Why is that the tough road?
Angelina: I love… adopting my children was the greatest blessing to me. They are the funniest people I’ve ever met. And they’re the greatest joy in my life. And I feel so blessed that I’ve been allowed to adopt them and bring them into my home. So that was no generous thing of mine.
Ann: But you’re travelling to Darfur, you’re going to Pakistan to see earthquake victims.
Angelina: When I’ve gone to refugee camps or I’ve gone to places to meet earthquake victims, it is certainly not some big sacrifice of mine. There’s nothing poor and horrible and sad about these people. They’ve inspired me.

As a result, Angelina has been spending less time on the sound stages of Hollywood.

Ann: Have you ever thought about leaving the movies and making it full time, this work in trying to change the world?
Angelina: Yeah well… trying to change the world (Laughs). Well, I don’t want to be responsible for changing the world. I’ve been just travelling with my family for the last few months and that has been more important than making a film.
Ann: But movies?
Angelina: Well, for now. It is my job. It is what makes it possible for me to be able to fund the programs I care about.

Like focusing attention on the 40 million children in Africa - most of them girls – who don’t get the opportunity to go to school.
It’s clear Angelina loves working with children, and she told us she and Brad are thrilled to be adding another child to the family.

Ann: You’re 8 months along now? Almost?
Angelina: No, not yet.
Ann: Not yet.
Angelina: No. (smiles)
Ann: Well…. How you feeling?
Angelina: (Laughs) I’m feeling fine. I’ve been very, very lucky. I’ve been keep… you know… thinking something’s bound to… I’ve had um… I’ve had a very fortunate pregnancy. I didn’t have a bad… morning sickness. I haven’t had to slow down, which has been nice for me.
Ann: You know what I loved about being pregnant? I loved that feeling of not being alone. Of speaking for two.
Angelina: I haven’t had that.
Ann: It’s such a powerful feeling. And you don’t have that?
Angelina: Well I suppose because I’ve always… I’m with my kids all the time, I feel like I’m speaking for three (laughs). I suppose it’s more just like having one not sit on the others head, you know (laughs) at this moment. But um… I think some women are very… feel very grounded to the earth suddenly, or they’re very happy. But I think I’m still in denial about it.
Ann: Denial?! You better get with the program.
Angelina: I know but I still have this kind of funny thing of that I can’t quite believe, because I was always very sure that I would adopt all my children and I was quite at peace with that. And then things felt different and I made some different choices. And we will continue to adopt, but now I’m pregnant.
Ann: Where does this lead? How many kids do you want?
Angelina: (Laughs)
Ann: You’re going to have three kids. They’re busy. They get you up at night. They’re… they need
Angelina: We love children and, y’know, fortunately we have the resources to be able to get help where we need it or to have a big enough place. So I think um… I don’t know, there’s no real plan of stopping. We just talk about…. Lots of them (smiles).
Ann: How do you know when you’ve found one you want to adopt?
Angelina: I’m a big believer in just… y’know, they find you. So I think as we travel, um… we joke about it now. Like if I visit an orphanage everybody’s nervous (Laughs).

People magazine declared the expecting parents and their growing clan America’s Most Beautiful Family. And Angelina and Brad want to continue their humanitarian work, which in the last few months has seen them visit earthquake victims in Pakistan, and advocate for children in Haiti.

Ann: How nice is it for you to not be on this path alone? And how much is Brad bringing to the table with what you are trying to do with your life?
Angelina: Without getting so into the private and all that personal stuff, um… people know very little about him I think when it comes to where his morals are, where his values are, how he is with people, what he cares about, what he’s learned about. He’s a very aware person. He’s doing a lot of good things, and he’s a great parent. And so certainly it’s nice to watch him do that. And it’s nice for me to be able to talk about the things I care about with somebody that does as well.
Ann: You seem to have become a formidable duo in this world.
Angelina: No (Laughs) It’s just the idea, I can’t even….
Ann: No?
Angelina: It’s just so bizarre to talk about any kind of… yeah, so that’s why I giggle about it, because I just don’t know how to address that kind of thing.
Ann: Giggling I understand, is something you’re doing a lot more lately.
Angelina: I am (smiling)
Ann: Is it… pregnancy? Is it love? Is it -
Angelina: Apparently it’s -
Ann: What is it?
Angelina: Yeah that’s what I’ve gotten from pregnancy. It’s my… I actually… I’ve gotten (starts giggling) see (continues giggling) um… yeah Brad said that to me too, I get hysterical now. Like hysterical to the point of crying and falling off the bed. I get hysterical.
Ann: Are you just joyful?
Angelina: No well, like I’ll try to read and then I’ll start laughing and it’ll last for like twenty minutes and then, y’know, sit back down and try to focus again. He’s reading and I’m reading and we’re sitting there really serious and try to… and then I’ll just go and like, it’ll go on for hours (laughs) It’s really horrible!
Ann: There was a girl I once met who didn’t know how to laugh much. And you said –
Angelina: (Starts laughing) I’m sorry!
Ann: No laugh, giggle, keep it up, I wanna hear it! You said to me ‘I wanna laugh more’, and my kids are giving me this opportunity to laugh. And look at you! You’re a mess! You’re laughing!
Angelina: It’s hormonal!
Ann: Be pregnant more often –
Angelina: I know
Ann: Because this is working
Angelina: I know that’s what I started to say, how… because everybody keeps saying that. Was I really miserable before?
Ann: You, well you were once much more serious. And you’re bright and joyful now.
Angelina: I have a lot to be happy about.

The ultimate goal of the Global Education drive is that by the year 2015 children everywhere – both boys and girls – should complete at least a fifth grade education.
In Africa where Angelina Jolie has focused so much of her effort, 40 million children are out of school, including more than half of all girls, who never finish elementary school. Find out how you can help on our website. The address is dateline.msnbc.com
