Angelina Jolie: Unplugged

Have a few days to spare? Then you may want to read this six-page Entertainment Weekly interview with Angelina Jolie.

If, however, you’re NOT looking to spend the better part of your life in front of the computer — not that there’s, um, anything wrong with that — here are a few morsels from the story:

RE: Maddox’s Gentle Playing Habits

Mad, our 6-year-old, draws lots of war scenarios. He’s all into war and guns. So for Mother’s Day he drew a machine gun, and Brad had it made into a necklace, which is really sweet. It’s really cute. I think it’s really good!

Well, soon enough they WILL have enough kids for an army.

RE: Why People Have Such Strong Feelings About Her

I’d like to think it’s because I’m not neither here nor there in my life. I think anybody that makes a decision about where they stand is going to cause strong opinions about them. But I think that’s what you should be hoping for in life, so I take that as a very good sign. That some people support me and some people really don’t like me tells me that I’m making decisions and I’m standing strong for something I believe in. I’m making choices in life. And that’s the right thing to do.

Well, yeah, there’s that — AND that little Aniston thing.

RE: The Infamous Vial of Blood with Billy Bob

No! It was never a vial anyway. It was like a flower press. It was like from a slight cut on your finger and you press your fingerprint in. It was kind of a sweet gesture. I thought it was kind of romantic! I still love him dearly and think the world of him and I’m proud to have been his wife for a time.

Yeah, it’s a shame your baby-daddy isn’t quite as hot as he is.

RE: Pregnancy Sex

It’s great for the sex life. It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you’re just so round and full.

“Round and full” — EXACTLY! That’s how Mr. and Mrs. Claus have kept it hot all these years.

RE: What to call Brad?

We have that problem all the time. I say ”partner” sometimes. ”Father of my children” is too long. But half the time people refer to us as, ”So, your wife this, your husband that.” We’ve stopped correcting everybody. It’s not a big intentional thing not to marry.

I believe “f*ck buddy” would be the most romantic option.

RE: Handling a Half-Dozen Kids

Well, we weren’t expecting twins! So it did shock us, and we jumped to six quickly. But we like a challenge. We really don’t know. His mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And fortunately we can hire help if we need it, but we’re going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can. The only thing for us when a new child comes home is just balancing the others.

While you’re figuring that out, I think I’ll press “snooze” a few more times. Aaaahhhhh… sure feels good to sleep in!
