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.”

LOL classic!
Don’t worry JJ will clean up this ish. It’s his site and he wants it clean.
I saw a picture of Brad & Pax on popsugar. It was so cute. I didn’t sse it from the set that was posted before. It when they went to the doctor.
Yes, you go AG. Only dumb haters would think GC could leave you for the horrible, ugly Angelina. :lol: I am so glad you are here to set the record straight, not that I doubt for any moment his love and dedication to you.

if you are sick of her, don’t read any magazines or look at anything with her in it. I think that would really help your sickness.
I love reading and seeing pictures of Angelina. She’s a very interesting person and I will always welcome news about her, both onscreen and off. I don’t think an hour or two a day of work in giving interviews is excessive.

just wait and see…..but would it be funny when Angie and her family took 2 months vacation and spend part of the vacation at George’s house in Italy…..* wink *
***********************
lol she will never set a foot in that house.
Thank you Cool Video for the link.
I am not jen fan either 122. I am sick to death of hearing about jolie too. If she wants to bring a strong family then she should just keep her mouth shut and get on with it. Her kids are heading to rehab soon if she continues to expose her entire thought process like this!
I guess this is why they want to interview her again:
From last year this time
NEW YORK, June 13, 2006
A Good Kind Of Exploitation
Harry Smith: Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Use Their Fame Wisely
June 20 is Refugee Day — a day the United Nations uses to focus on the plight of refugees around the world.
I mention this because I’ve been in refugee camps. I have talked to people who have had to run for their lives. I know that they are a brave lot. They are survivors of the highest order.
The reason I know June 20 is Refugee Day is because Angelina Jolie told me. She and Brad Pitt have done a remarkable thing — turning their celebrity and the birth of their child into a platform for causes they care about.
Because their baby was born in Namibia, geographically challenged teenagers in America can suddenly find that country on a map. They sold the rights for the pictures of the sweet-looking little cherub for millions which will go to those causes, too.
Pitt and Jolie are really onto something. As long as people are obsessed with them, why not exploit it — in a good way?

122 aracne shld worry much about the humungous and birthing acnies on her face! pls..proactive! it works!
When Is Angelina gonna be on the CBS show?
she’s really doing her best to promote this film. they really work hard and put up with a lot.
Of course. Brad is the producer!!!!, if this movie doesn’t work they don’t make money and so how can they buy others luxury houses, ducati, take fly lessons etc. etc…….
What’s with the Angie haters buzzing around JJ like infected mosquitos…. can’t you go somewhere else and spread the plague to your own kind?

if Brad is IGNORING the fact that George doesn’t like Angelina… well, that makes Brad an ASS & JERK!!!!!!!!!
******************************
Brad has better sense than to sweat the small stuff. Clooney is very small stuff.
———————————————
LOL Yeah, Clooney is very small stuff, totally irrelevant. Really hoping that Angie will do Atlas Shrugged as Dagny and Leonardo DiCaprio as Francisco.
To ike - thanks for the clarification!! I read it a while ago and remembered thinking.. “god how strange it would be if it’s not Angie playing this role…” again…*deep in thought* ;)
132 kimbara

well, it could happend….LOL, Matt Damon spend a week at George’s place, no one knows, until the last day, when they were leaving the place. So how do we know they were never there…huh?
Iam Forest,Forest Gump.Iam IDIOT
27 - of course it must be true, National Enquirer said so. I bet they reported it right next to the story about Britney Spears’ hymen reconstructive surgery and how they are gonna need the help of a forklift, industrial digger, a skillet and some flood defence levees to successfull complete it
137 is a prime example of pure ignorance!!!!
This interview was from when she was making the movie, you bunch of numb nutz.
I LOVE YOU (MANISTON,MY MAN)
well, it could happend….LOL, Matt Damon spend a week at George’s place, no one knows, until the last day, when they were leaving the place. So how do we know they were never there…huh?
*************************************
Because angie was working in Prague duh! believe what you want, I don’t care. If you really think movie stars don’t have egos you can’t understand a thing.
