Angelina Jolie: "Brad Pitt is a Real Man"

In an interview with Britain's The Telegraph, Angelina Jolie talks about her family and calls her partner, Brad Pitt, a "real man".

"I am very lucky with Brad. He is a real gentleman, but he is also a real man's man," the 35-year-old actress says. "He's got the wonderful balance of being an extraordinary, great, loving father, a very, very intelligent man and physically he's a real man in all things that it means."

"I love being a woman," she said. "I love that I can have children. I love feeling soft, I love being with Brad, I love all the sensitivity and natural emotion."

Jolie, who has six kids (Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, and Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne) explained their decision to have such a huge brood.

"When Brad and I decided to have a large family we decided we'd only do it if we could be really hands-on and take the kids with us, seeing them every day," she said. "I am always there on weekends, I only ever work a five-day week, and I am often there for breakfast or dinner. When I'm working they come up at lunch."

Jolie's eyes filled with tears when she talked about her mother, who died in 2007 after battling cancer. "That will never heal,' she said, softly. 'But somebody gave me great advice. They said to me: "You'll never get over it and you'll never want to."
