In the recent interview, Brad Pitt admits that living with Jennifer Aniston made him very pathetic and miserable. Only after he met Angelina Jolie, he realized that the reason why he was choosing interesting movies, was because he wanted to live that life and didn’t have it with Aniston.
‘I spent the ’90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. ‘I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself.’
‘I think that my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.
‘One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I’m so happy to have her. I put much more emphasis on being a satisfied man. I’m satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much. A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. That’s the trade-off. But I’ll take it all.’
‘I was surprised at how automatic it is, how much of it is instinctual. And now I have a great confidence and trust in those instincts. I mean, one sound at night and you’re awake and up because they may need you.
‘Or when they start to have a tantrum, you know to divert them from spinning out by helping them focus on something. It just goes on and on. I tell them, “You can make a mess, but you’ve got to clean it up.’
I mean, how many stories have you read that aren’t true, stories about me and Angie being married or fighting or splitting up? And when we don’t split up, there’s a whole new round that we’ve made up and we’re back together again!’ he explained.
We’ll get married when everyone can. We’re not splitting up. And we don’t have a seventh child yet.’
