Angelina Jolie may have gotten rich being an actress, but she says she “doesn’t love it” as much as she used to.
Jolie explains to the Financial Times:
- “I’ve never not been grateful to be an actor. But I think when I was younger I needed [acting] more. I was trying to question things in life so you find these characters that help you find things and grow … I’m older and I know who I am… and I’m less interested in the character helping me answer something… than in being able to answer it for myself, as a woman, as an adult, with my family.”
But don’t misunderstand her, Jolie’s got no plans to retire, she just prefers another role in life: “I don’t love [acting] as much as I did]. I love being a mom.”
And this is a mom who loves to travel — she says the best way to raise kids is on the road (or in a private jet, in her case): “Home is wherever we are … I’m very bad at staying in one place. I’m also bad at sitting still… There’s so much to explore in the world… So I love travel. If you can travel I think it’s the best way to raise kids.”
In fact, Jolie says she’d love to retire young and become a professional nomad with her partner Brad Pitt and kids Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5 and the twins Vivienne and Knox, 3: “We’ve had a nice run and I don’t want to be doing this our whole lives. There are a lot of other things to do.”
