Angelina Jolie: Reader’s Digest Interview

Angelina Jolie: Reader’s Digest Interview

Angelina Jolie goes face-to-face with Reader’s Digest in their June 2007 issue, opening up about her sexy partner, four adorable kids, and a family going global. Here are a few of the highlights:

Is it true that you adopted Pax so Maddox would have a brother who looked like him? Something changed for me with Shiloh. We had Mad and Z, and neither looked like Mommy or Daddy. Then suddenly somebody in the house looked like Mommy and Daddy. It became clear to us that it might be important to have somebody around who is similar to the other children so they have a connection. Mad’s been very excited that his brother is from Asia.

Is adopting a toddler different? Pax is almost three and a half and has never made a real decision for himself because everybody does everything in a group in the orphanage. There were all these things he’d never had. The first time I gave him a bath, he was suddenly laughing, out of his mind. He took five baths in one day. We’d be talking and he’d take his clothes off and run into the bathroom.

Do you and Brad ever have a conflict or a fight? Not really. We’ll get into issues about global events or something that was just on the news.

The gossip is unrelenting. You’re fighting, you’re jealous, he’s going back to Jennifer. Does it get to you? Our first question is what paper is it in. The New York Times? If not, do we really need to worry?

Do you want more children? Yeah, yeah. More biological, more adopted.

I do believe that she was being sarcastic about the New York Times.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes I believe that’s WHY she said it that way. She could not believe it was the NY times printing that slanderous article.
But that will go over the haters heads. lol..
cheers.

Don’t let the “haters” get to you guys, they obviously are not getting to Brad & Angie, they are loving their lives together and I am PROUD to be a fan.

That’s mighty big of you, Stephanie Forrester.

Now you can turn your attention to Thorne or Felicia.

What the hell are you talking about?

Lovely woman and some great sentiments expressed in this interview. I think what she and Brad have *works* so why “rain on their parade”? They are providing a good home for these children and opportunities they may not otherwise have. With so many stories in the news of child abuse these days, why can you naysayers not underscore this fact as opposed to try and place the focus on problems from her past which she has obviously transcended?

Good interview all around. The interviewer posed just the right amount of softball questions. Angie was quite frank and thoughtful. She’s growing into a nice, worthy woman. And Brad…my goodness, what an absolute complete package from how Angie describes him! He’s every woman’s dream. He knows exactly what he wants and he wants Angie, their children and above all, he wants to do right by them. Many of us seek a lifetime for what Brad and Angie have.

#20, Terry…I think you are just so sad. To be so determined to bring that pointless, assinine crap up once again in the light of all the goodness and kindness these two fine people generate is a personal tragedy for you.

I think that is what touches me about the interview the most. They seem all about making each other happy, fullfilling each other and supporting each other. I love that she is sexy to him when she is reading, educating herself. He isn’t threatened by that, in fact he seems to encourage it.

Heywood Jablowme @ 05/10/2007 at 1:45 pm

“…but it’s nothing as sexy as when I’m home surrounded by the kids or reading books, educating myself.”

My God, she is so insane and she appears to have made him insane. I personally think she’s at her most sexy when she’s french-kissing her brother while cutting herself with a knife and carrying around a vial of someone else’s blood. After she cleans up, she can steal someone else’s husband.

Could someone please do a little “Fanfic” regarding the exact “behavior” Angie is referring to when she says “by his behavior” he finds her sexy?

seagull what do you think Brad and Angie do when they lock the door?
Guess???

OF COURSE THEY HAVE A SEXUAL INTERCOURSE OVER GLOBAL EVENTS OR SOMETHING THAT WAS JUST ON THE NEWS!!!!! :) MY MAN AND I PREFER TO MAKE LOVE INSTEAD!

YEah. Great Interview. You can tell that she’s trying to tell people know that her and Brad are madly inlove and nothing can take them apart as a family.

Great interview, espicially the part where she says ”WHEN EVERYBODY GOES TO BED WE GIVE MAD TIME. WHEN EVERYBODY IS AT SCHOOL, WE GIVE SHILOH TIME.IN BETWEEN, Z AND PAX EACH GET SPECIAL TIME. AND ON SUNDAYS WE HAVE A BIG FAMILY SLEEP, WHEN THE BOYS GET IN BED WITH US AND WE WATCH A MOVIE. all the best to thh jolie-pitts

omg seagull you know nothing about Brad do you?
As a long time Brad fan, I can tell you He is a Romantic. So don’t you worry your little head about their love and Sex life. Worry about your own.

Very touching interview. I love Angelina Jolie for the person she is and I love her family. Wish them ongoing good luck, happiness, love and protection.

I love the interview and i admired Jolie. She is a good mother, partner, humantarian etc

Am happy to be BAMPZS fan

more blessing to them and also to all the positive poster. but to all the negative poster put it at the back of your mind that what you wish for other people will surely come back to you in 100 fold.

BAMPZS FAN and non fan have a wonderful and nice day let love feel your heart.

What is wrong with you? Did her interview really get to you that much?? Wow you need help.

I kind of agree with interviewisafake. Great interview but Angelina does not sound like herself in the audio.

#95 united we stand - “put it at the back of your mind that what you wish for other people will surely come back to you in 100 fold”.

So does this mean I’M going to end up french-kissing my brother, cutting myself with a knife, carrying around a vial of someone else’s blood and then stealing someone else’s husband? Gosh, that doesn’t sound too good. You’ve convinced me: no more negativity!!

seagull=heywood=terry and others are the same person.She here with a agenda.she want attention don’t give her anytime please.Ignore,ignore and ignore.thanks

Hey, Wow. Don’t judge me. I’m just addicted to BAMPZS and engaging in a little Fan Fic (although, sadly, 99% of the stuff in my post was true instead of being fiction).

“Oh, there are beautiful men out there. Antonio Banderas is gorgeous. Well, maybe not so much anymore. He peaked around Desperado. I mean, every male secretly wants to have sex with Brad Pitt, but that’s a given.”

To: 28 seagull:

It simply means they are intelligent. I discuss global issues all the time with my husband. What do YOU talk about????? The dogs, the kids or sports???? OR DON’T YOU TALK AT ALL????

GET LOST. WE DON’T NEED YOU HERE.
