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.”

The Jolie-Pitts are in Prague.
Splash has a new video of Brad, Z and Pax.
===========================================
Why are you shock that the JP’s are in Prague.
Angie told everyone on TDS that they would be returning to Prague because she was still filming there.
So, NO surprise there!

I can not imagine how much inner strength Angie has. It seems there are obstacles on her every steps. But each time she rises above it.
I do not think she wants to hide behind anyone but sometimes I feel Angie is fighting alone.
************************
Yes, she rises above every obstacle.
As a human, as a woman, as a mother, as a humalitarian, as an actor she is growing and growing. I feel ashamed myself. But I don’t feel intimidated by her at all. The more I know her the more I respect and feel accessible.

Oh, and this article from the nyp doesn’t bother me in the least. It is what it is. They’ve been so many of such tabloidy articles written about Angie that I’m immune to them. I’m an Angelina Jolie fan and no matter how many articles the tabloids write, my mind won’t be changed. It’s reached a point where I don’t even glance at tabloids when I’m at the stores. It does wonders when you have no idea what they’ve written and just don’t care about them.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I think it says a lot more about the NYP than it says about Angie. She has such an important movie coming out for them to be so caddy, tabloid like and down right *itchy at a time like this reeks of lack of integrity on the part of the NYP. They have become no more special than Star mag and I find that sad. The movie and Angie’s performance in the movie will rise above and speak for itself but it is the NYP that will be left with the stench of there commentary.
NEW THREAD - BRAD Z AND PAX
I used ‘omg’ a while back it couldn’t be asked to change it.
I’m not shocked that they are in Prague but now that you bring it up I did think the next images would be from Washington for World Refugee Day.
I thought she would be there to hand out an award/prize for the little boy who won the competition she sponsored.
NEW THREAD PEEPS.
