Angelina Jolie: ‘Today Show’ Interview
Angelina Jolie sits down with NBC News’ Anny Curry to discuss her new movie A Mighty Heart, having a fourth child and losing her mom, Marcheline Bertrand.
Said a tearful Jolie, “This has been a heavy year in losing my mom and having a fourth child. I’m very aware of time and of memories and of doing and enjoying life, not just doing the right thing and being a useful person, which I certainly want to be and believe I am. I want to be a great mom like my mom was. And I want to also do the things that I love. So I’m at a strange place in my life. That happens when you lose a parent, where you drop into a different kind of serious. Yet at the same time, you want to enjoy and laugh as much as possible everyday. But I’m holding onto my family really tight at this moment because of that and trying to be as good a woman as I can be in my life. Dammit. You got me crying. (Curry apologizes) That’s alright. It’s part of life. … I lost my mom. It’s a natural thing for a child to lose a parent. I lost my mom too young, but it happened. And I’m happy she’s out of pain, because I love her and she’s my friend.”

Jolie, though, sometimes had a harder time staying inside. Winterbottom’s inimitable shooting style is a little like the taping of a reality show: He uses handheld cameras and no studio lighting, encourages as much improvisation as the story line allows, and then simply follows his actors around wherever they go. ”The crew would have to find places to hide — behind curtains or in the bathroom — to stay out of the shots,” Jolie says of the process. ”The great thing about it is if you felt like going somewhere else while doing a scene, you could. But it could get intense. Michael and I would have disagreements over wherehe could follow me. We came up with a system. If I closed the door, he couldn’t follow. If I left it open, he could. I just needed to know that if things got too heavy, there’d be a place for me to cry by myself.”
That, by the way, was not something Jolie worried about on the set of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Or on Mr. & Mrs. Smith. And it’s one of the things that make A Mighty Heart so potentially interesting. Since winning her Oscar, Jolie’s onscreen persona has been transformed by a series of tentpole action roles, and her offscreen footprint has grown so huge (something to do with that boyfriend of hers) it threatens to eclipse all else in her life and career. But with A Mighty Heart, the actress has the chance to show why she got that little golden guy in the first place. She can remind people of something her new supersize celebrity status almost makes them forget.
That she can actually act.

ANN CURRY IS SO FAKE!!!

OMG sorry about my caps lock … i feel better now that i was able to make that idiot to bark like a dog.. BRAD and ANGELINA i’m loving them… Good day to everyone specially to my fellow Brangelina fans… Angie is one very smart and sassy lady..Brad is so exotic looking guy..and funny… i bet Angie loves him so much for that…looks like Brad is always making Angelina laugh.
Why do you care? Do you show up at Trekkie, Star Wars, or Rocky Horror conventions and ridicule their fans? How about Beatlemania events or at Graceland on Elvis’ birthday every year? Or let’s see how about James Dean’s or Jim Morrison’s grave sites like thousands do every year? I could go on, but I think, actually I hope, that you get my point. Its called being a fan. You either get it or you don’t. Yeah fans tend to wax romantic about everything the person they like does or did, but it comes with the territory. So if you’re thinking of sticking around here then you might as well get used to it.
I’m still riding that wave of euphoria from those stunning photos from Cannes of the Royal Couple - Brad and Angie. The reviews for AMH are so wonderful and must be so rewarding for them, having worked on this project so close to their hearts.
I cried for Angie’s heartache as she talked of her mom, with such love. I love her more and more to see her strength in the face of such a great loss.
Thanks for the link to that sexy picture of Brad holding his lady’s hips…..ooooooh…la…..la…..
And Jared, you are surpassing all my expectations when it comes to keeping us up with all the latest from Cannes about ‘what’s her name’ and ‘what’s his name.’
tondogirl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
where are you from?
Great interview. It had me teared up.
“At the same time I would go home, sit and lay next to Brad, and he would put his hand on my stomach and we would talk about the hospital and the baby and were so excited together.
“To know that’s what they took away from her at that time infuriated me, it made me so, so upset.”

Thank you Jared.
I watched the vidoe several times and cried everytime. I am going to have to disgree, I like Ann Cury. She is much better than Diane Sawyer! Angie likes her and prefers her, that is good enough for me.
This is serious fans, I am really liking Lainey lately.
BORED, how dumb can you be? By posting NOT to vote for Brad, you are making us vote for Brad in HOARDS
But, what do you expect from a hater 
bored,
i like hugh jackman but so sorry i love brad pitt. get real, even if you vote for hugh 24/7 till may 31, you cannot surpass brad’s votes.
Bored what is it to you if i said Brad is exotic looking guy??? do you have a problem with that?? are you gay??? are you exotic gay??? never mind!!!! you can’t change my mind saying Brad is exotic… because for me Brad is exotic… a combination of ozzing sexy and erotic… i guess you are just jealous because you are one ugly ******!!!
Smart and Sassy lady i’ live in Toronto… but was born and raised in Tondo Manila Phils.
Hello everyone.I knew that these last days would be very busy for all of us BAMPZS fans,but I couldn’t even imagine the craziness that we live in the last three days!Brad and Angelina are everywhere.In the news,tv shows,magazines,newspapers,web!And the most important thing,all the comments can’t be more positive.They are the winners for one more time.Isn’t it nice to be their fan?
Sorry if this has already been posted - it’s from Lainey:
But you want to know about THEM, don’t you?
Angelina did make an appearance at the bar. Serene and secured – that wicked bodyguard pacing incessantly making sure none of the super rich people were about to attack her and preventing trespassers from getting too close. Sorry to disappoint the haters but away from the cameras, I’m told she and Brad are – and I quote – “ridiculously in love”. To the point where they will find each other’s eyes in a crowded room and send over a secret smile. Trust me…I just heaved a little too.
I
bored You think Hugh is exotic looking? I like my Men straight.
Hugh is known to have a male lover, even though He is Married.
I agree she does seem like an intelligent empathetic woman. That is why she is the paparazzi magnet she’s become. She doesn’t appear to be a tramp just out to take a man away from his wife and family,yet she did just that. She repeatedly claimed she knew how her mother felt when she was cheated on by her father and she could never be ‘that’ woman. Yet she was clearly pregnant before the divorce was finalized. I think the world is trying desperately to figure her out, do we love her or hate her?! She seems to want to grab hold of all the things in her life that others hold dear because she doesn’t have that in herself. She adores the children she adopts because they need her and she feels superior to other moms. Not only is she attempting to be a supermom but she’s doing it with refugees unlike us average mom who birth our children naturally. Nothing shows this more than the constant photos of her with her adopted children (I’d bet there isn’t a photo of her without that baby carrier & little Z in the first year she had her) yet not one single shot of Shiloh in the same comforting hold? Her actions seem to contradict her interviews completely!

There is an old picture at 1:23 of this video that I haven’t seen before.
Can anyone tell me when and where it is from?
Thanks JJ for the 2 new threads. Geez, I go to sleep for 8 hours and you pull up 2 new threads?…do you ever sleep JJ? LOL. You are THE man!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, they have both interview ( OC13 and AMH) at the same time) so I pick OC13, because I knew that MSNBC always put the interview on their website right away. Sure enough they did. I laughed at the OC13’s boys interview, but I love Angelina’s responses at the interview, I cried. Ok, now what is up with Ann Curry facial expression?…she make me feel like she needs to go to the bathroom or something. LOL.

LMAO! Is anyone going to dignify this with a response? Not me.
Antibes is like a sea of people, very crowded. It’s becoming like Cannes nowadays. I was even not able to find a parking it. My daughter got fed up in the car, we came back home.
I am going to try tomorrow to go to Antibes.
Good day/evening to all from France.
Huuummm or VH1 or ….. do you want me expose your very known nickname? Do you really want this? Don’t stalk me and stupidly and desperately TRY to pick on me. Because there are the “true” fans here and know of me well. At the end, I surely don’t have to prove my fanship of the Jolie-Pitts to you. I have not written anything insulting or aggressive about any member of the Jolie-Pitts, I shall never do. I do like, love, respect, admire the Jolie-Pitts deeply.
There are unfortunately some people here who consider themselves as fans but their behaviour towards others is just so annoying. I am not aggressive and obsessive like them. And these people are very well known by all of us. You can ever NOT question my fanship because you don’t have a right to do so.
Read my comments over and over again until you get it well because all I undertood by your message, you have not read them well.
Take your rear and get lost! This is the very last time I am writing something refering to you.
I am going to try tomorrow to go to Antibes.
Good day/evening to all from France.
