Angelina Jolie: Kids Keep You On Track

Mom-of-six Angelina Jolie has carved out her place in the entertainment industry, with the versatility to be an action hero one day, and a dramatic lead the next.

Now, as a mother and partner to Brad Pitt, Jolie is more selective when choosing her roles, always taking into consideration the best interests of her large family. She has revealed that though she is not retiring, she "might slow down on the work front," in coming years.

In an interview with The Chicago Sun-Times, Jolie opened up about how motherhood has changed her life, and how she looks forward to growing old with Pitt.

On her life since becoming a mom: “Motherhood has changed my entire life,” Jolie says. “I’m more patient and more silly. I wake up with an immediate constant reminder of what’s really important in life. Ever since having children, I’m not thrown by anything in life. Kids are very grounding in that way. They keep you on track.”

On growing older: “I lost my mother not so long ago and there is something about the years passing where you really appreciate life more each day. The amazing part is you have a history with the people you love. And it becomes important for you to stay healthy and age gracefully. I want to see my grandkids. I want to see my children grown and spend the years with Brad. I want everything.”
