"Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, 'God, I can't wait to get to work.' … Anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair."
"It took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe. And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration."
Jolie says that the time she spent getting to know Pitt before his split was "not as exciting as what a lot of people would like to believe. We spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things.
"And then we just continued to take time. We remained very, very good friends - with this realization - for a long time," she says. "And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do."
One day, Maddox "just out of the blue called him Dad," says Jolie. "It was amazing. We were playing with cars on the floor of a hotel room, and we both heard it and didn't say anything and just looked at each other. So that was probably the most defining moment, when he decided that we would all be a family."
Jolie also says she'd be willing to meet with Aniston, but "That would be her decision, and I would welcome it."
Yesterday, Angelina Jolie revealed she wants more babies.
At a press event for her movie The Good Shepherd , Jolie says. "I'm very, very lucky. I love the different elements of my life. I love working abroad, and I love being with my kids and I love being with Brad,
I'd like to add many more children and many more obstacles and many more things to my life."
Asked if she'd ever again work with Pitt, with whom she costarred in last year's Mr. and Mrs. Smith, she replied with a laugh: "Who's going to watch the children?"
"I don't think that I've shot for more than seven weeks on a movie in two years," she said. "I need to make sure that I have time with my kids."
"I've made a point to not let it change the way that I live my life, other than I carefully plan my holidays or where we go or where we stay or things like that to try to ensure some kind of quality of life that is private and nice for the kids. But we simply don't let it affect us."
"I think that the only time that it is hard is when the kids want to go somewhere and want to see something. I've had so many people offer to take my children to Disneyland or places that I can't take them. And they don't understand how upsetting that is.
