[Brad Pitt is] extremely handsome and the most sexy.
Entertainment Weekly cover
Jolie and Depp appear on the cover of a November 2010 issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine. They talk about each other. Jolie says:
We’re both not that social. I don’t think either one of us goes out of our house, especially in France. We’re both locked away.
Jane’s Journey
Directed by Lorenz Knauer, Jolie talks about the energy that Goodall devoted to saving our endangered planet in this documentary that chronicles Jane Goodall’s worldwide travels, personal footage from her childhood, and her charity work saving gorillas. Co-starring: Pierce Brosnan.
Sometimes, caught up in the moment, people promise to give their support but don’t, or can’t come through. That was not true with Angelina.
Salt
Jolie plays CIA officer Evelyn Salt in this thriller directed by Phillip Noyce. Salt is accused by a defector of being a Russian spy. With each attempt Salt makes to prove her innocence, her mentor, Winter, only grows more suspicious of her true motivations. The longer she eludes capture by ambitious CIA agent Peabody, the higher the stakes get. Co-starring Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
We spent a lot of time with different people who’d worked in the Russia House and the CIA, and I think the biggest note I took from them was how isolated and lonely they felt not being able to talk about their life and their work with anybody in their family, and what a sacrifice that is.
Parade cover
Jolie appears on the cover of a July 2010 issue of Parade magazine. She talks about her children, living for love, and her rebellious past.
I used to cut myself or jump out of airplanes, trying to find something new to push up against because sometimes everything else felt too easy. I was searching for something deeper, something more. I tried everything. I always felt caged, closed in, like I was punching at things that weren’t there. I always had too much energy for the room I was in.
Vanity Fair cover
Jolie appears on the cover of the July 2010 issue of Vanity Fair magazine. She talks about her kids different personalities and her thoughts on working with Brad Pitt again.
I keep telling Brad he owes me. He’s had a few months off in one of the most beautiful cities in the world with the children. And he’s such an artist and goes to the stone yards and the art exhibits, and loves being in such a cultural place.
Oscar nomination
Jolie is nominated for Best Actress at the 81st Academy Awards for portraying Christine Collins in The Changeling.
Working with Clint Eastwood was a reward in itself that will last me a lifetime. To receive a nomination from the Academy on top of that is a privilege beyond any expectation. It has been an exceptional year for acting, and I am honored to be in the company of these talented actors whose performances all deserve this recognition.

Changeling
Jolie plays Christine Collins in this drama directed by Clint Eastwood. In this true story, Collins is a grief-stricken mother who takes on the LAPD to her own detriment when it stubbornly tries to pass off an obvious impostor as her missing child, while also refusing to give up hope that she will find him one day. Co-Starring Colm Feore and Amy Ryan.
It was a very hard film for all of us to make but at the same time because it was a true story, and because this woman went through so much, it was also very inspiring.
W cover
Jolie appears on the cover of the November 2008 issue of W magazine. She talks about Brad Pitt changing her mind about getting pregnant, her photoshoot, and Pitt being perfect for her.
[I have] a lot of respect [for Brad. He helps me] to be better and fight hard for the things that I love. I do think that I’m in a good partnership now. I think it just needed to be the right man.
Wanted
Jolie stars in the action movie Wanted, playing an assassin ready to stop anyone that gets in her way. Her character hates that people are killing for no reason but her only job in life is to kill. Jolie. Co-starring Morgan Freeman, James Mcvoy, Konstantin Khabensky.
Maybe this is Mrs. Smith after she killed Mr. Smith, went into depression, and got very, very, very moody. Fox is not happy, and she’s not easy to be around. She was interesting to me because she isn’t the love interest and she isn’t having fun with it like the Tomb Raider. She’s darker.
Pregnant with twins
The actress announces she is pregnant with twins. The new additions will bring the number of children she has with Pitt to six.
We weren’t expecting twins. So it did shock us, and we jumped to six [children] quickly. But we like a challenge… 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.
Kung Fu Panda
Jolie stars in the animated movie Kung Fu Panda. This movie tells a tale of a giant panda named Po who idoizes the Furious Five. After learning that the Viper, Crane, Monkey, Tigress, and Mantis is being trained by Shifu, Po decides he wants to become a kung fu master himself. Other cast members include Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, and Lucy Liu.
I just look for, whether it be any project, something that I find about a character that I admire, that I like, that I think sends, you know, a good message, or something that’s got some strength to it. So I loved that in a film like this, that I knew my children would see, and my daughters would see, that the boys would think it was really cool and love the whole movie but that also my daughters would, of course, have a good role model as a girl.
People cover
Jolie appears on the cover of People after her mom dies after battling cancer for 7 1/2 years.
There are no words to express what an amazing woman and mother she was. She was our best friend.
Beowulf
Jolie plays Grendel’s mother in this action adventure directed by Robert Zemeckis. The warrior Beowulf must fight and defeat the monster Grendel who is terrorizing towns, and later, Grendel’s mother, who begins killing out of revenge. Co-starring Ray Winstone and Crispin Glover.
There are certain moments where I felt actually shy – and called home, just to explain that the fun movie that I had done that was digital animation was, in fact, a little different than [what] we expected.
A Mighty Heart
In this drama, directed by Michael Winterbottom, Jolie plays Mariane Pearl, the wife of slain journalist Daniel Pearl. Co-starring: Dan Futterman and Irrfan Khan.
I was very worried. I’ve never been so nervous about anything. I work very hard but I’m very casual about it, it doesn’t keep me up at night but this one did. The night before shooting I was tossing and turning and imagining everything that could possibly go wrong. I felt bad that I was even assuming that I could play this woman that I respected so much and I felt humbled to a point of being unable to move.

Jolie appears on the cover of the July 2007 issue of Esquire magazine. She talks about being more than an actress, splitting time with her children, and switching things up in their lives.
Some people have their lives together and then they have their children. Brad and I are starting with the children and are planning to have our time together in our later years.
Marie Claire cover
Jolie appears on the cover of the July 2007 issue of Marie Claire magazine. She talks about when she’s most talkative and her children.
I’m so happy for my children – especially Mad. I didn’t know if he was ever going to have a dad. So when I watch them having real strong father-son time, or even when Mad tells me, ‘This is a boy thing, Mom’ – it’s just really beautiful to see.
