In een interview met het Britse filmblad Total Film heeft actrice Angelina Jolie bekend dat haar kinderen haar met beide benen aan de grond houden. "The great thing about having a bunch of kids is that they just remind you that you're the person who takes them to go poop," aldus Jolie, die moeder is van Maddox (12 jaar), Pax (9 jaar) Zahara (8 jaar), Shiloh (6 jaar), Knox en Vivienne, beide 4 jaar. "That's who you are!"

Jolie vervolgt: "I'm not somebody that thinks about destiny and fate, but I don't walk away from it when something unfolds. It's like my children. Especially when you adopt in some countries. All my other children were just, 'This is the child that's been chosen for you.'"

De actrice, die uiteraard een relatie heeft met Brad Pitt, sluit af met: "I suppose it's like a child you give birth to, as you can't have a say in it. I see that when I look at my kids. It just seems to be right. It's hard to understand how it could unfold so beautifully."
