Angelina Jolie talks toddlers, getting older & what the future may hold

by Joel Amos, SheKnows.com

When Angelina Jolie enters a room, one has to stop for a second to get your head around the fact that an international icon is sitting two feet away. That being said, there are few celebrities that we have spoken with who had more of an air of ease about them -- one that was equally comforting and compelling.

Here are a few excerpts from SheKnows.com's chat with Ang, when we caught up with her to talk about her latest movie, Salt. (Read more of our interview with Angelina Jolie here!)


SheKnows:
There's a lot of running in Salt, does being the mother of toddlers all the training you need to get ready for the role?

Angelina Jolie: Yes [laughs], the toddlers run fast. But, actually Z (Zahara) is the fastest in the house. They're all over the place! And the twins are always going in different directions at the same time.

SheKnows:You said you may scale back in films in the future. What else do you want to do in the future?

Angelina Jolie:I like to be very, very busy and I'm energized to do things. I don't sit down well. I'm always reading something or thinking about something or going to make something. It's not that I'm retiring, it's just going to be less films that I make. I just imagine in the years to come, I'd love to do other things. I'd love to live in Africa for six months and fly planes. I would like to see what else there is to do. Artistically, I'm sure there are other things to do.

SheKnows:Do you look forward to getting lines and getting older, honestly?

Angelina Jolie:Yeah [laughs]. I do. I like getting older. I think it's because I lost my mother. There's something about that, that you really appreciate being able to have history with the people you love. It's becomes important to you. You want to see your grandkids. You want to all those things. As it comes, there's deep pleasure in it. I'm sure that's also because I have a small family. I can relax into it. I do think age is beautiful.
