Up until now, Brad has been reluctant to divulge much information about his relationship with Angelina, the mother of his first child, Shiloh Nouvel. In this interview, however, he talks about their adopted children, Zahara and Maddox. "They're as much of my blood as any natural born, and I'm theirs. That's all I can say about it. I can't live without them. So: Anyone considering [adoption], that's my vote," he says.

The 42-year-old actor also reveals a bit about his fathering techniques. He says, "I try not to stifle them in any way. If it's not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they're quite rambunctious…I feel it's really important to have that time to sit and talk to them. I really like that last minute before they fade off. And always give them a heads-up before you jerk them out of something. You need to tell them, like, ‘You have three more minutes.'"
