Angelina Jolie says she plans to give up acting to be a full-time mother.

"I don't plan to keep acting very long. I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day," she tells BBC News in a new interview. "I'm not so worried that I want to keep this pace up and try to be something and be a celebrity."

Look back at photos of Angelina Jolie on the red carpet.

She says she's lucky to take on great roles but "everything comes in seasons.

"I hopefully won't be needing to do that later in my life anyway," she adds.

The 33-year-old Changeling star -- who says she won't work for a year after she returns to work in February -- stresses, "I don't think I'll ever say I'm never, ever gonna work because maybe there's that interesting project where I feel creative.
