Angelina Jolie Says the Kids Are the Center of Her Life
In a new interview with LA Times’ The Envelope, Angelina talked the Changeling and her kids. The interview took place just before she helped honor Clint Eastwood at the “Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala. Here’s a bit of what she had to say:
About her nomad lifestyle:
“I don’t dislike it here[LA]. I just really do love to travel. I love other cultures. And I love raising my kids in the world. I’m so fortunate that I get to do that.”
Why she took on the role of Christine Collins in the Changeling:
“Christine fought so hard under such incredible circumstance for the rights of other women. It was a real story that I thought sent a positive message about what you can accomplish. About democracy in action.”
On working with Clint Eastwood:
“You feel you can absolutely break yourself. You can drain every bit of energy you’ve got. He’s not going to waste your time.”
On choosing more mom-centric roles:
“I don’t think it’s a choice of mine as much as it is something women deal with when we get older. A woman in her 30s is more likely to have roles that in some way relate to family.”
As we know her kids are her everything:
“The center of my life is my kids.”
The article also says that Angelina had her “manager, publicist and two burly security guards” with her. That’s a surprise to me. Angelina has always had an aversion to someone speaking for her. Perhaps all the media attention has made her reconsider.

meh, the manager was most likely geyer kosinski and the publicist was most likely holly goline, who is angelina’s assitant, usher, friend, not really a publicist.

Of course the kids are the center of her life, just like she and Jamie were to her mother!
