OlderAngelina Jolie - “Newsweek” Interview
Angelina Jolie opens up to Newsweek about her experience filming A Mighty Heart in India.
On her bodyguards calling “bloody Indians” and “bloody Muslims” at a Muslim school: “People advised me that this movie was politically dangerous. I thought maybe I shouldn’t touch this. Maybe it would do more harm than good.”
On going from being the most famous star in India to its most famous racist: “We’ve become so eager to accuse people of being racist, but I would rather they make up almost any other story—about me sleeping with someone, anything—but that. It’s not only a crazy accusation, but it’s the most insulting thing you could say about me, that I would employ someone who would be disrespectful to someone’s race or would harm a child. They take care of my kids.”
On the situation having gone too far: “People can just hate back and forth, and I understand my own country’s irresponsibility with our foreign policy sometimes, but can’t we please try to be open-minded, and see that there are some of us who are trying?”
On traveling being her saving grace: “Yeah, I did have my wild times. [laughs] When I was famous for being just an actress, my life felt very shallow. You’ve done nothing of any social relevance, and yet you have all these people interviewing you. You don’t even know what you’re talking about. You’re just trying to find yourself. [pauses] Traveling really did save me. I was just … happier. It was feeling that I was doing the right things with my life.”
On having more children: “We want to have as big a family as we can. Our only restriction is making sure we have time for everybody, and we’re finding that we have the ability to do that.” (Brad Pitt adds: “Yeaaahhh, we do things in extremes. But I’ve always embraced big changes, and this feels very natural. It’s just the most fun I’ve ever had.”)
On what matters to her the most: “People can question your choices, accuse you of things, but your real work and your integrity will [win] out. All that matters is if I build a strong family, if I’m able to do my advocacy work and if my children are happy.”

I can’t wait to see this movie this weekend. I heard it is going to be in limited realse 1350 theaters nation wide.
The National Enquirer is reporting that….. “Angelina HATES the whole Ocean’s 13 - Rat Pack phenomenon - She can’t stand the boys gang thing. Which is why She’s NEVER LIKED GEORGE CLOONEY. She was always afraid that when Brad was in Las Vegas filming Ocean’s 13, Clooney was trying to lead him to astray”.

This was here first besides the news site and maybe fansites. Let’s see how fast this goes around the net.
Just Jared Rocks!
Thank You JJ for the new thread, great interview, love the Maddox and Angie part. I’m agree with the writer, that some people are just totally still in disbelief that someone like Angelina can have such a
“traditional” view on family and children. She sure does not follow any rules or forms. Good for her.

======================
I believe it’s a lifetime membership, but there are 6000 of them.
I hate when they break quotes down like this. It’s better when you read the whole interview.
Stay on topic. you’ve just been flagged sweetie. Don’t bring your trash here.

George is DISGUSTING!! And why is that BAMPZS cannot see that George is a BAD INFLUENCE in Brad??????
I hope Brad doesn’t hurt Angie because of George!!!
On having more children: “We want to have as big a family as we can.

That sounds so good.I can’t wait to see AMH,but I must wait much longer than you:-(

Could someone please elaborate for me if this membership is lifelong or do they randomly pick every year? I just would like to know what Angie’s chances are of winning a nomination to say the least. ( not that it matters)
______________________________________
I think Angelina is a voting member since she’s an oscar winner.
the national enquirer??? LMAO did they mention the spaceship was inviting the OC 13 crew for an orientation of their planet?
“Yeah, I did have my wild times. [laughs] When I was famous for being just an actress, my life felt very shallow”
Now she will be known for is a homewrecker … poor thing.
Angelina is much better than george. Clooney is the one leaking all those quotes to the tabloids and Ted casablanca. He doesn\’t like angelina and has been very chatty about it (I\’m not talking about that stupid joke he made on cannes). Brad knows but ignores it.

I don’t think Angie really cares about Oscar.
Wth? George is cooler than Brad. I doubt Angelina hates him ..more like wishes she could have had him in the bed before Brad trapped her.

If what you say is true and Brad knows and ignores it, he is a bigger ass than I thought.
Clooney is an ass.

The Structure of AMPAS
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is a professional honorary organization composed of over 6,500 filmmakers whose achievements have placed them at the top of their craft.
The purposes of the Academy are to advance the arts and sciences of motion pictures; foster cooperation among creative leaders for cultural, educational and technological progress; recognize outstanding achievements; cooperate on technical research and improvement of methods and equipment; provide a common forum and meeting ground for various film-related crafts; represent the viewpoint of actual creators of the motion picture; and foster educational activities between the professional community and the public.
Membership in the Academy is by invitation of the Board of Governors and is limited to those who have distinguished themselves in the arts and sciences of motion pictures. The criteria for admittance include: a body of work in motion pictures that reflects the high standards of the Academy, an achievement of unique distinction, or the making of an outstanding contribution to the film arts or sciences.
Members represent 15 general areas – actors, animators and short film makers, art directors and costume designers, cinematographers, composers and songwriters, documentary filmmakers, directors, executives, film editors, makeup artists and hairstylists, producers, public relations specialists, sound technicians, visual effects experts and writers.
A candidate for membership in the Academy is normally sponsored by at least two members of the branch for which the person may qualify. Each proposed member must first receive the favorable endorsement of the appropriate branch executive committee before his or her name is submitted to the Board of Governors for its approval. Individuals nominated for Academy Awards® who are not already members of the Academy are considered for membership without the need for sponsors.
The Board of Governors also may invite individuals to become members-at-large and associate members. Members-at-large are those engaged in motion picture production, but for whose craft there is no separate branch. They have all the privileges of branch membership except for representation on the Board. Associate members are those closely allied to the industry but not actively engaged in motion picture production. They are not represented on the Board and do not vote on Academy Awards

Haters are so ridiculous. Of course in THEIR WORLD, someone always has to not like someone.. there is always supposed hate going around.
Please…George has said many nice things about Angie.
Seriously, does hatred make people dumb or does being dumb cause you to hate easily?
