Angelina Jolie talks juggling career with family

Angelina Jolie, who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt, has dished the dirt on how she mixes her busy career with her family. “You just give that up at a certain point,” she said. “You even try to take a bath and everybody comes in, so you give up and that’s OK. As somebody who likes to be alone, I surprise myself that I’m very happy to be surrounded by everybody in my family. I feel that comfort.

“It’s getting harder to make decisions to work for the sake of working. Like everybody, I’m trying to find things that are extremely challenging or mean something to me deeply.

“Sometimes something like The Tourist comes up and it’s just fun, but it’s not as easy to find projects that I have to do. I have to be home and I have to do other things, but I don’t have to work as much. That’s why I’m unemployed at the moment.”

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Pitt has urged Jolie stay a little more tight lipped when it comes to talking about their private life.

“Brad is a very private individual and while he doesn’t normally even try and tell Angie what to do, on this subject he has at least tried,” says a source close to the couple.

“Angie is due to do press for The Tourist in Paris this week and Brad has suggested that maybe she doesn’t need to reveal everything about the kids and their lives together every time she’s asked.”
