On having no personal plans for now: There is "no secret wedding" planned. "I’m not pregnant. I’m not adopting at the moment."
On her new movie, In the Land of Blood and Honey, which marks her directorial debut: "Brad thinks I’m going to be a nightmare," Jolie jokes, telling how directing her new movie has changed the way she will approach her acting career. "I had such a good experience he thinks I’m going to be impatient with directors, which I already am. I get impatient with people working on a film that have their head in their hands like it’s the most complicated thing in the world."
"I’ve never felt more exposed. My whole career, I’ve hidden behind other people’s words. Now it’s me talking. You feel ridiculous when you get something wrong."
On Brad’s supportive role throughout the project. "He’d come in and say what he liked or what he didn’t understand. Like any woman, I would listen to most of it and fight a few things. He’s been so supportive. But it’s hard to separate the person that loves you from the critic, so I don’t think he’s a fair judge. People will judge for themselves. I think if you make a good movie people walk away arguing."
