Angelina Jolie opened up in the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly about her sex life with Brad Pitt, her impending delivery of twins and who she may be voting for this fall.
Here's what the 33-year-old says:
On Pregnancy and Her Sex Life:
"It's great for the sex life. It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you're just so round and full."
On Having Twins:
"Well, we weren't expecting twins! So it did shock us, and we jumped to six quickly. But we like a challenge. We really don't know. His mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And fortunately we can hire help if we need it, but we're going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can."'
On Brad's Tattoo
"I drew that. We went to Davos. It's not that we were bored at the World Economic Forum, but one night we didn't have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back….It just lines up beautifully on his back, just enhances the part of the body I like."
On Maddox:
"Mad, our 6-year-old, draws lots of war scenarios. He's all into war and guns. So for Mother's Day he drew a machine gun, and Brad had it made into a necklace, which is really sweet. It's really cute. I think it's really good!''
On Being a Mother:
"I don't think I really knew what it was to be a mom until these last few years. Especially the mom of an older son. It's one thing playing the mom of a new baby, but my relationship with Maddox was very much on my mind and I just couldn't shake the thought of him through the whole film [ Changeling.] He's the one that I talk to the way I talk to the little boy in the movie. So I see the movie and Brad sees it and [we recognize] things in it — even just little things. The boy says, 'Am I too heavy?' Mad says that all the time. 'Am I too heavy?' 'Oh, never! One day you're going to carry me!'"
On Being Controversial:
"I'd like to think it's because I'm not neither here nor there in my life. I think anybody that makes a decision about where they stand is going to cause strong opinions about them. But I think that's what you should be hoping for in life, so I take that as a very good sign. That some people support me and some people really don't like me tells me that I'm making decisions and I'm standing strong for something I believe in. I'm making choices in life. And that's the right thing to do."
On What to Call Brad:
"We have that problem all the time. I say ”partner” sometimes. 'Father of my children' is too long. But half the time people refer to us as, 'So, your wife this, your husband that.' We've stopped correcting everybody. It's not a big intentional thing not to marry. We immediately were a family when we became a couple, and children were the priority, and we're both legally committed to the children. And that seemed to be the right thing."
On Going From a Goth to a Philanthropist:
"The reason I talked about going through certain pains or even cutting myself is that I was already out the other side. I knew there were people that do that — and somehow are happy that somebody admitted they did and discussed how they got out of it. I don't see the point of doing an interview unless you're going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that I'm extremely human and have done some dark things, I don't think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do and I'd like to think it's the nice thing to do."
On What Presidential Candidate She Supports:
"I think people assume I'm a Democrat. But I'm registered independent and I'm still undecided. So I'm looking at McCain as well as Obama."
